SOLVED: Only 1 CPU producing

Post by Crunchtimer »

Hi all!

I just set up an identical g4dn.xlarge AWS Linux server to the one I already have running (4 CPUs and 1 GPU).
The problem is that only 100% CPU is running Fahclient on the new server, whilst on the other server 300% is running.
The GPU is crunching data but this server seems slower which I believe is due to some misconfig.
I have (I think) the same Fahclient-config and it's the same HW-config, so what could be worng?

Please advise.
Top on new server:

Code: Select all

  PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND
 3042 fahclie+  39  19  342660 165540  12536 R 100.0  1.0  38:46.94 FahCore_a7
 3161 fahclie+  39  19 6401256   1.0g 144688 R  99.3  6.5  33:20.75 FahCore_22
Top on old server:

Code: Select all

  PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND
 3033 fahclie+  39  19  351976  59208  12872 R 299.0  0.4 276:53.57 FahCore_a7
 3219 fahclie+  39  19 5764924 461424 137888 R  99.0  2.9  75:24.01 FahCore_22

Checking the log on the new server is says what's happened:

Code: Select all

ESC[93m19:25:37:WARNING:WU00:FS00:Changed SMP threads from 4 to 3 this can cause some work units to failESC[0m
ESC[93m19:25:37:WARNING:WU00:FS00:AS lowered CPUs from 3 to 1ESC[0m
Why is this so and please help me correct it.

EDIT:
I "fixed" it by amending the config file like this,

Code: Select all

  <!-- Folding Slots -->
  <slot id='0' type='CPU'/>
  <slot id='1' type='CPU'/>
  <slot id='2' type='CPU'/>
  <slot id='3' type='GPU'/>
which is not optimal as I get 3 FAHClinet_a7 processes each 100%. The error message is now

Code: Select all

WARNING:WU00:FS00:Changed SMP threads from 3 to 1 this can cause some work units to failE
and the log:

Code: Select all

Re: Only 1 CPU producing

Post by JimboPalmer »

Welcome to Folding@Home!

20:23:22: <slot id='0' type='CPU'/>
20:23:22: <slot id='1' type='CPU'/>
20:23:22: <slot id='2' type='CPU'/>
20:23:22: <slot id='3' type='GPU'/>

You want one CPU slot that has -1 or 3 CPUs specified in the slot and a GPU slot. That will work best and make the most points/science.

F@H rewards quick results so one slot using 3 threads (F@H calls them CPUs) completes quicker than 3 separate slots of one CPU and helps more.

Re: Only 1 CPU producing

Thanks for the response!
I agree with you and my initial config (the same config I have on the other server where it works fine) was:

<!-- Folding Slots -->
<slot id='0' type='CPU'/>
<slot id='1' type='GPU'/>

But then it said: "FS00:Changed SMP threads from 4 to 3 this can cause some work units to fail" and just put out 1 CPU + 1 GPU to work, instead of 3 CPU + 1 GPU.
Can I do anything now, or should I wait for it to correct itself?

Re: Only 1 CPU producing

I am not a linux user, but if you can start FAHcontrol, then it should be the same

On this screen to the left is a Configure button, click it
Now you get a screen with a Slots tab, click it

On this screen remove two CPU slots and on the third CPU slot edit it and set it to 3 CPUs (or -1)
Type the number you want, and click save.

Thanks for the tip and I'm fine with the Gui versions.

Re: Only 1 CPU producing

Solved (again)!

Ok so the way to get all 3 CPUs assiged (300% under top) to 1 process instance of FahCore_a7 was to kill the process whilst having a correct config-file. Rebooting was insufficient.

Correct config for 3 CPUs and 1 GPU:

Code: Select all

  <slot id='0' type='CPU'/>
  <slot id='1' type='GPU'/>
Command to kill all 3 process instances of FahCore_a7 was:

Code: Select all

sudo killall -9 FahCore_a7

Generally speaking, kills the FahCore_a7 process can result in data loss. Pausing the client should send a signal to stop FahCore_a7 gracefully. It may take a minute or two especially if it is writing a checkpoint.

The message "Changed SMP threads from M to N this can cause some work units to fail" is safe to ignore. There are very few cases where a problem will be caused by this sort of change.

Yes you are right loss occurs, so one has to time it correctly, i.e. right after upload.

I was previously on client 7.4.4. and then I was able to be graceful stopping and starting the service. With 7.6.13 the fahclient user holds the process in a firm grip, so I was left with the sledgehammer from CLI :)

ESC[93m19:25:37:WARNING:WU00:FS00:AS lowered CPUs from 3 to 1ESC[0m

I'm assuming this was the first unit downloaded, there's on old bug that causes the first unit to run on a single core. Future units will run properly.
