Message 84446 - Posted: 20 Jan 2018, 22:16:48 UTC

I am trying to run the SixTrack AVX project on LHC, and find that BOINC is not reporting the avx flag.

In particular, on an i7-4770 CPU running under Ubuntu 16.04.3 with BOINC 7.8.3 (installed from the repository), BOINC shows:
1			1/19/2018 11:18:17 AM	Starting BOINC client version 7.8.3 for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

12			1/19/2018 11:18:18 AM	Disk: 82.38 GB total, 64.91 GB free	

But the "cpuinfo" file on that machine shows:
flags: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx pdpe1gb rdtscp lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good nopl xtopology nonstop_tsc aperfmperf pni pclmulqdq dtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx smx est tm2 ssse3 sdbg fma cx16 xtpr pdcm pcid sse4_1 sse4_2 x2apic movbe popcnt tsc_deadline_timer aes xsave avx f16c rdrand lahf_lm abm tpr_shadow vnmi flexpriority ept vpid fsgsbase tsc_adjust bmi1 avx2 smep bmi2 erms invpcid xsaveopt dtherm ida arat pln pts

So BOINC is not picking up either "avx" or "avx2". It appears that it misses others as well, in fact anything after "pni". I have also checked an i7-3770 machine running Ubuntu 16.04.3 but with BOINC 7.6.31, and it is also not picking up the avx flag. So it appears that the problem has been around for some time.

NOTE: I retrieved the BOINC log from BoincTasks. Maybe there is a problem with that? I will look elsewhere as needed.

I'd double-check in stdoutdae.txt that BoincTasks isn't truncating that feature string - although it's suggestive that the list ends with pni (aka SSE3).

It's helpful that one of the administrators of LHC is becoming involved in maintaining the Linux distros - that might give you some traction.

That is curious. I don't see "stdoutdae.txt" anywhere in the /var/lib/boinc-client directory, where all the other logs are kept. (I do see it in my Windows 7 machine though.)

We are discussing it on the LHC forum too, so maybe it will be picked up there.
https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/forum_thread.php?id=4581#33990
It apparently works for some people though, but I have checked it on three Ubuntu Ivy Bridge/Haswell machines now with no luck.

Thanks for your input.

ADDENDUM:
I have a Ryzen 1700 machine running under Ubuntu 17.10 where I know AVX is working, since I received the SixTrack AVX tasks from LHC. However, even there, the BoincTasks log does not show avx:

So I guess it is a problem (in part) due to BoincTasks. I will try to find the relevant log on that machine, but don't see it there either yet.

BOINC should detect AVX, not necessarily AVX2:
    host.p_features[0] = 0;
    for (p = strtok(features, sep); p; p = strtok(NULL, sep)) {
    if (p != features) safe_strcat(host.p_features, sep);
        if (!strcmp(p, "avx1.0")) {
            safe_strcat(host.p_features, "avx");
        } else if (!strcmp(p, "sse3")) {
            safe_strcat(host.p_features, "pni");
        } else if (!strcmp(p, "sse4.1")) {
            safe_strcat(host.p_features, "sse4_1");
        } else if (!strcmp(p, "sse4.2")) {
            safe_strcat(host.p_features, "sse4_2");
        } else {
            safe_strcat(host.p_features, p);
        }
    }

That is curious. I don't see "stdoutdae.txt" anywhere in the /var/lib/boinc-client directory, where all the other logs are kept. (I do see it in my Windows 7 machine though.)

In later Debian (based) builds it goes to /var/log/boinc.log. They changed the startup script so no rotation of the log or keeping it on stop/start action. Not sure why they had to change it but thats the way it is.

You might also ask Gianfranco who maintains the PPA for BOINC.

An even better place to check would be /var/lib/boinc-client/sched_request_*, to see what is actually reported to the server.

Oops, that was Mac code only.
More specifically, https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/blob/client_release/7/7.8/client/hostinfo_unix.cpp#L419 and further does the Linux detection, using proc/cpuinfo into a string of 1024 characters.

As https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/blob/client_release/7/7.8/client/hostinfo_win.cpp#L1165 shows, for Windows all the features are spelled out in the code, they only show when really detected, but anything new won't show until it's added, as it's not defined.

avx and avx2 are both there.

I am running BoincTasks on a Win7 64-bit machine connected to the Ubuntu machine over the LAN. How are you running it?
I have notified BoincTasks about it, and maybe they can find the problem.

Your BOINC command tool, be it BoincTasks or boincmgr or boinccmd, does not matter and its output is not decisive. What's important on your part is the BOINC client on the Ubuntu machine.

It seems you still haven't checked the log files. Please do so before you run around pointing everywhere. The problem is with your client, or the LHC server, or the communication between them. Now it's your turn to verify the first.

That part was not much in question insofar as I was concerned, since the Ryzen 1700 machine showed that avx was there (because it worked on SixTrack/AVX).
But thanks for the log location. Where do we go from here?

Message 84468 - Posted: 21 Jan 2018, 18:54:15 UTC - in response to Message 84467.  

So BOINC 7.8.3 does detect both AVX and AVX2, which the thread was started for.
Meaning that the science applications needing this CPU feature will also work. They usually check for themselves as well what the CPU capabilities are.
Other than BOINCTasks not showing it - probably because it cuts off showing the whole string after N letters - I don't see what else we can do.

If Fred still develops BOINCTasks, taking this to him, is your next step.

To me it sounded as if you claimed AVX was not detected on the Intel machine. Now we know it is, and likely the server got that information too. Just to avoid another misunderstanding - BOINC does nothing with this information but pass it on. If you still don't get AVX tasks that's the project's fault or their decision. There's nothing you can do about it IMO.

OK, Fred has looked into it at some length, and has concluded that it is a buffer limitation. Can BOINC be modified to fix that?

https://forum.efmer.com/index.php?topic=1313.msg7764#msg7764
Please advise Fred that the buffer size was increased from 256 bytes to 1024 bytes some 7 years ago, precisely because

the latest generation of processors blow past 256 bytes
and vmx and svm are truncated.
That's from https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/commit/9298b7ff6eec1cd56ec8d287b565f667435fe98f

We're going to have to do more digging to find out where the truncation is happening, but I'm sure a proposal to fix it would be accepted.

OK, getting closer - but it's a different answer.

Jim, you posted three event log headers at BT on 13 June, and a computer properties listing on 14 June.

Lining those up, I get

Before I added spaces for alignment, the top line was 236 characters - so not buffer limited.

I'd suggest that BOINC's processor detection routine is asking fewer questions than the modern Linux kernel does, but we need more confirmation before I open a Github issue - ideally a comparison pair (BOINC and native) like I've just posted, but taken from BOINC v7.10.2

I'd suggest that BOINC's processor detection routine is asking fewer questions than the modern Linux kernel does, but we need more confirmation before I open a Github issue - ideally a comparison pair (BOINC and native) like I've just posted, but taken from BOINC v7.10.2

I am not quite sure this is what you want, but it is for BOINC 7.10.2 on an i7-3770 (Ubuntu 16.04), so "avx" should show up.

You can see where the "Messages" are truncated. But there are a couple of curiosities, though they may be irrelevant:
1. In the Messages, one of the projects I am attached to (GPUGrid, running on the GPU only) shows up, though I don't know why at that point. (It is probably a Fred issue.)
2. In the Computer properties, I see the full extension list only when I copy it to Notepad. When I view it on BoincTasks, it ends at "monitor d" .... (Again maybe for Fred.)
(EDIT: I have upgraded to BoincTasks 1.77. I am pretty sure the list was OK as viewed in 1.75, so maybe in fixing one problem another was introduced at that point.)

Thanks for looking into it. I am not at all adept at Github, and would probably confuse things even more.

I don't think I can use that BOINC log - it's even more incomplete than the last one, there should be a second line.

Can you please post the log the message log output from BOINC itself (either via BOINC Manager, or from stdoutdae.txt), to eliminate the possibility of artefacts being introduced by BOINC Tasks? It should reach as far as

arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good nopl xtopology nonstop_tsc cpuid aperfmperf                pni pc
judging by your previous examples, and it's important that we show the gaps where pdpe1gb and tsc_known_freq should be.
