48 days to finish project 6096

Post by Michtifertz »

Client is 7.4.4. CPU is an i7 4930k.

1.10% at 6:14 am
1.11% at 6:21 am

That doesn't seem right. No errors, it's just not going to be able to finish. There are less than two weeks before deadline. If an i7 4930k can't even come close to finishing this project on time, what on Earth will it take? Something must not be working right.

Removed the slot and put it back. It is now working on project 9012 and ETA is 6 and a half hours.

If the client has not processed a WU from a particular project before, its estimates will not be accurate until the client has processed at least a few percent of the WU. We would need information from the log file to see if there was any actual problem with the WU, see this topic for information on troubleshooting and posting log files - viewtopic.php?f=61&t=26036.

Project 6096 has particularly large WU's, it would have needed at least a few hours to see what the actual ETA was. Since you prematurely deleted the WU it is not possible to determine whether your assumption that it was not working right was correct or not.

Well, a hundredth of a percent in 7 minutes seems to confirm the ETA. Also, it had been going over night, so it had plenty of time.

We still need to see the log...
and if possible, the previous log showing the (non-)processing of that 0.01%. It should be found in the logs subdirectory of FAH's Data directory.

How many CPU-cores are on that machine (presumably 6) and how many were allocated?

Yes, we would still need more information. For example, you mention getting a 9012 to process after dumping the 6096 WU and it was estimated to take 6+ hours. Well, I have less powerful machines with i7 860 and Xeon W3530 processors. Those can complete a 9012 in about 3-4 hours. So the log posting would show your actual settings - when the WU was downloaded and started, and the actual elapsed time to complete a percent of progress.

It's using 12 threads. 6 cores, yes.

You need to reserve a core to be used by the GPU folding slot. Otherwise the interruption in processing caused by the CPU usage needed to keep the GPU slot active will greatly slow down folding on your CPU slot. Since 11 is a "large prime" as far as folding is concerned, the maximum number of threads you can usefully assign to CPU folding is 10.

Or you use a program like SetPriority.exe to set the FahCore processes a higher base priority.

That doesn't solve the problem of the interruptions of the CPU FahCore by the GPU FahCore desynchronizing the threads. The CPU FahCore runs better when all of the threads are on CPUs which are otherwise idle. See Joe_H's post, above.

I set it to 10 threads and it got a lot faster. This is still using hyper threading, though. Does that matter?

Hyper threading still contributes to speeding up the calculations done by the CPU folding core. However each additional thread done through HT does not improve the processing time as much as an additional CPU core by itself. So the 10 threads, 6 on a core plus 4 from HT, instead of being 2/3 faster than 6 threads alone will be about a 1/3 faster depending on the exact WU and folding core involved.
