Ummm... ??bruce wrote:All oprating systems have commands which allow task X to start only after task Y has been started. Those commands need to be part of the startup script for FAHClient.
And, I just sliced & diced some data using HFM.NET, and my 1080Ti GPUs end up going from low 2.x million PPD to something like low-to-mid 1.x million PPD when CUDA is disabled. So, right now, I have five 1080Ti cards (out of my 9, i.e. 55% of my 1080Ti GPUs) that are running under -disable-cuda which is costing me about 2.5-5 million PPDs.Tuna_Ertemalp wrote:I will go back to using -disable-cuda expert flag on this machine.

I don't understand what you mean by "it doesn't exist": "(Win10) AMD Ryzen TR 1950X (16C), 32G DDR4-2133, 4x 1080Ti Hybrid, ASRock X399 Taichi"bruce wrote:Iit seems like your GTX1080TI doesn't exiat.
Yes. Without me doing anything, by default, due to the CPUs=-1 setting in the CPU category under the SLOTS tab of the CONFIGURATION dialog, FAH automatically reduces the thread count from 32 to 28, reserving 4 threads to the 4 GPUs. By the way, that is what happens on all my hosts. I don't play around with those "-1" settings, and let FAH decide what to do with the hardware.bruce wrote:Have you left at least one CPU free per GPU to support data transfers to/from it? IF that thread has to wait for resources it will definitely throttle your GPU.
I hope so, too. So far, 2 days and 18 hours of uptime, and still ticking...PantherX wrote:Hopefully, the fresh installation has fixed it.
I can tell you exactly since I keep an XLS to track what needs to be updated on each host as versions change. Out of my 9 hosts, 1 is also my regular office PC with other stuff installed, but the remaining 8 of them are basically dedicated to compute, running the same bare minimum of apps:PantherX wrote:I am curious as to how many other applications you installed since it could be an application that might be causing conflicts with F@H.

To report back progress: After a full 6d 23h 30m run, the refreshed quad 1080ti Hybrid host is still working without any CUDA errors.Tuna_Ertemalp wrote:If the refreshed host continues to work, we might have lost the repro case.
