1) Message boards : BOINC Manager : With nVidia driver 190.38 now SLI should be enabled? (Message 26552)

Post:
I am indeed running a 64bit version of Vista. Perhaps people just need to see how things behave on whatever they run. Seems that at least on some systems, we don't have to turn SLI off anymore, and on mine, I MUST enable SLI for BOINC to even see more than one CUDA device, but I guess it's not true on all systems. I've seen posts in other forums this morning that indicate different people are seeing different results in relation to SLI settings, but at least if they can't see all the CUDA devices in BOINC, they now know something easy to try as a possible fix. Maybe in addition to the OS, the version of BOINC someone is running makes a difference on how it interacts with the new drivers. I'm running 6.6.38.

I couldn't figure out why suddenly after updating my nVidia drivers, I couldn't get BOINC to see both CUDA cards and process two CUDA work units.

I was reading elsewhere that starting with nVidia driver version 190.38 which has CUDA 2.3, the system will now only see 2 CUDA devices with SLI enabled, so you should now be able to enable SLI and leave it on all the time, even when running BOINC, just the opposite of the older drivers.

I checked my BOINC Manager, and sure enough, it was only showing one CUDA device. I exited BOINC, enabled SLI, and restarted BOINC, and then it showed two (I have two GTX 260's) and started processing two CUDA work units at the same time again.

So, just to make things more confusing for everyone, it appears that the rule for SLI flips for anyone who runs the newer 190.38 or higher drivers.

Anyone see something different?

Make sure you do NOT have SLI enabled on any of them. That would cause two GPUs to function as one, thus reducing the visible CUDA devices by one. CUDA is not yet SLI compatible.

Hi,

I believe my Core i7 processor supports SSE version 4.2, but BOINC messages show a lower version:

3/10/2009 9:52:55 PM Processor: 8 GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz [Intel64 Family 6 Model 26 Stepping 4]
3/10/2009 9:52:55 PM Processor features: fpu tsc pae nx sse sse2 pni


Some projects have optimized apps available for higher versions of SSE that 2, so will I lose functionality or speed if BOINC reports a lower version than I really have? Or am I just interpreting this message wrong? Thanks.

Hi... just noticed one catch to the cooling process I gave above. If you run a program like media player that is set to disable the screensaver, that will prevent the fans from kicking in since the screensaver will then not come on. However, since BOINC's setting is simply based on time since last keyboard or mouse activity, it will start running anyway. So, when I started to play some music and do other non-computer things, or watch a movie, media player prevented the screensaver, and thus the fan speedup, yet BOINC resumed after a few minutes of idle mouse and it wasn't long before the cards overheated and crashed. So, either turn off the option on apps that prevent the screensaver, or snooze BOINC. Also, remember that the snooze is time limited and it will resume again if you don't watch out. That's another thing I wish they'd change. If I snooze BOINC, I want it to remain suspended until I tell it otherwise. Or, you could just exit BOINC and the science apps altogether until your done with your music, movie, or whatever, then relaunch it afterwards.

Perhaps the best solution right now is to do as Tank_Master suggested to me and use Riva Tuner to manage fan speeds based on temps. But, then you have to create profiles, launchers, etc.

I just don't understand why nVidia took automatic fan speeds out of their drivers? I understand that there are a few overclockers and such out there that want to control them differently. Fine, add a checkbox in the control panel to disable the built in automatic fan controls in the driver. But, then, for the other 99% of the pc users on the planet that simply want to put a card in and have it work automatically on it's own, it'd be fine. Most pc users don't monitor temps, don't tweak things, don't download 3rd party hardware tweakers, and all this other hassle. All they know is they try to run a game like Crysis on a card that should be able to run it full settings, and suddenly they get 'nvlddmkm.sys' errors or the errors saying the driver encountered an error and recovered, or simply get BSOD's and they don't realize that what's causing it is their cards are overheating and becoming unstable. nVidia needs to fix this because people are increasingly giving them the reputation of cards that are error prone, especially on the GTX 200 series that have a hard time staying cool anyway. It's a simple fix. Why screw 99% of users to make a few overclockers happy when they could use the checkbox as I've said and make everyone happy? All of these ideas we're working on are simply trying to deal with an intentional 'feature' of nVidia's crappy drivers. I wish someone with more clout that me would bring this up to nVidia. Perhaps since nVidia is so big on pushing CUDA, the CUDA developers could point these issues out.

I'd be willing to bet 90% of the errors and problems people see when running CUDA (and extreme graphics games) are simple cooling issues affecting the stability of the higher end cards. If nVidia would fix the drivers, many headaches for users and developers alike would probably disappear immediately.

Frustrating...

Post:
Ageless... as requested, I emailed the logs and some other info to you. Let me know if you don't receive them.

Dagorath... the GTX 200 series of video cards are two slots thick, and have a case built around them. The fan and heatsinks are inside of that. They pull fresh air into them, over the heatsinks, then immediately vent the hot air out through vents built into the outside end of the cards to outside the case. The heated air never enters the case itself. Also, my cpu has a Cooler Master V8 cooling system that keeps my cpu cooler at load than the stock heatsink and fan did at idle, and my case is setup to pull that heated air out of the case immediately as well. I have a couple temp sensors that monitor ambient air temp inside my case and it rarely gets over about 48c even with everything working full tilt and is usually lower.

As for the video cards, if I manually crank up the fan speeds to something like 95%, they stay reasonably cool even while running CUDA. I just don't want to have to open the nVidia control panel, change the fan speed for each individual card, then apply the changes everytime I start a CUDA app, then repeat the process again everytime I stop CUDA to do something else. I still think the vbios or the driver should automatically change the fan speeds in response to temps, just like motherboards do with the cpu fans. The problem is really with nVidia's drivers or vbios, not BOINC, although BOINC could do some things to deal with this issue even though it's not thier fault.

Oh well... even so, I'm impressed that each of my GTX260's can process a CUDA SETI task in 19 minutes when my Core i7 CPU takes 8 hours to do one. I'm kinda wishing I'd gone with the GTX295's, and had loaded my machine with 3 of them. That'd be a lot of science we could do!

Another Update: I've been doing some test runs for the temp problem in another thread, switching projects, and all sorts of activities and so far this version has worked flawlessly. Only that one glitch of getting a task when I installed that I mentioned in the first post of this thread. Otherwise, haven't had a single problem. It appears stable on my machine so far.

Posted 14 Feb 2009 by pharrg
Post:
Update: When I first saw the task appear, I put BOINC in snooze. After checking things out and doing the first post above, I decided to let it resume and see what happens. When I did, it did not get any further tasks. However, like clockwork, once the CUDA task resumed, my nVidia GTX cards immediately began to heat up until the point of failure when they crashed and caused a BSOD. That's exactly why I stopped running GPUgrid and other CUDA tasks. I have the latest drivers and everything in my system, yet for some reason, the nVidia boards refuse to crank up the fans to keep themselves cool when they start heating up. Once the temp gets in the mid to upper 60's, they become unstable and eventually crash. CUDA is the only thing I've ever found that will cause a problem with the nVidia boards. Even the most intense games such as Crysis with all settings at max don't bother these cards. I think CUDA just drives them to the point of failure with no way to throttle the work load, and with fans that won't speed up over the idle setting, that's a fatal combo. Anyway, that's the topic of other threads.

In any case, the question remains why it decided to pull in a task for a project set not to, and why it didn't document the process of getting the tasks in the message tab. However, it has not requested any other tasks for any other projects since, even after rebooting due to the BSOD.

I just downloaded and installed the latest version 6.6.7. All of my attached projects are set to not get new tasks. However, immediately after the install completed, a CUDA task for GPUgrid appeared on my machine before I had a chance to do anything other than simply start the BOINC manager. I haven't run any GPUgrid in many days. After the install completed, all projects still say 'Won't get new tasks'. Also, I noticed in the messages tab, there are no messages showing the task being downloaded or even requested. In fact, here are the only messages I have.

Eh... just had a thought... if you chill all the air in the chassis very much below room temp, you'll get water condensation... oh well... I still think they could improve cooling by simple things like using different metals that conduct heat better, improved fan and heatsink fin designs, and designing cooler running chips to begin with.

Posted 2 Feb 2009 by pharrg
Post:
Actually, the bridge does make the physical connection required for SLI, but it stays in place all the time even if SLI isn't being used. I enable or disable the SLI mode with a simple checkbox in the nVidia Control Panel. It's a realtime change. Just check the 'Enable SLI' box and apply. No reboot or physical hardware changes required. And, BOINC does see this change as it shows in the messages about CUDA devices.

In fact, SLI is disabled by default, even if the bridge is there. Many gamers forget to do this step and don't even realize they aren't using SLI. Further, I've also seen where installing a driver update disables it and you have to manually re-enable it again. Again, something people miss a lot.

Anyway, that's what I was talking about, that perhaps BOINC could issue whatever commands that checkbox is doing. Basically, disable SLI when BOINC CUDA starts, then re-enable it when it stops. Or even let the user decide if and when it changes the SLI settings in their preferences for BOINC. Actually, if I had my way, that should be a CUDA feature. Of course, really, you'd think nVidia would simply make CUDA SLI compatible to begin with. But until then...

I don't know how hard nVidia makes things like that to do, but many games do this already. Anyway, just a thought to maybe eak out more processing power for BOINC. If not, that's cool.

I think when my card would crash, the temps were above 80c and climbing rapidly. Also, I take my cards out of SLI mode when running BOINC because currently BOINC and CUDA will only use a single card and ignore the others if you have SLI enabled, but will use all of them if you disable SLI. I know, seems backwards to me, but the way the software is now, that's how they work. It's a pain because I have to remember to re-enable SLI before starting my games.

I'm running:

2 GTX 260 cards
Driver: 181.22
Latest DirectX 10 updates
Vista 64bit SP1 with all current updates
ASUS P6T6 WS Revolution system board
6 Gb DDR3 Triple Channel RAM
BOINC 6.6.3

As for the cooling issue, I think it's systemic to all the new GTX 200 series cards. You can google and find gobs of posts in forums, including gamers that have nothing to do with BOINC or CUDA, that fight issues with BSOD's or messages from the OS saying a driver error has occured and recovered. I've even seen a couple websites where the dreaded 'nvlddmkm.sys' error, for which I see a thousand supposed solutions on the web, was reproduced repeatedly by simply overheating the video card, even non-GTX cards.

The GTX 200 series of boards have by far the fastest, hottest GPU's nVidia has released. The boards are already two slots wide, and I think nVidia has been desperate to avoid going to a triple wide board. Unfortunately, that severely limits the available space for fans and heatsinks. These chips under load run hotter that the CPU, yet are forced to make do with tiny fans and heatsinks most modders would laugh at for a CPU. Even the stock Intel fan and heatsink for Core i7 CPU's are 3 times the size of what the GTX 200 series GPUs have to work with. In fact, I've already seen aftermarket coolers being released for those who have room in thier case (and between the boards) to replace the stock fan and heatsink with a much larger one. Also, there are versions of the GTX line being released with water cooling attachments already on them.

I think we are seeing some of the same issues as extreme gamers see because CUDA is capable of putting a maximum load, indeed much more intense than the typical pc user, on these cards. nVidia is simply reaching the point where they will need to improve the cooling solutions on these boards. This likely means they will need to work with motherboard manufacturers for things like PCI slot spacing, to ensure they have room for multiple GPUs for those that want to do SLI. Even now many motherboards don't have room to do 3 or 4 boards in SLI, and even if they have room, most won't do full x16 speeds on all those slots. You have to choose the system board carefully.

People balked when they did longer cards, then again when they first started making cards 2 slots thick. Now I think they'll need to do 3 slots so they can put much beefier heatsinks and fans on them. The engineer in me thinks even the current fans and heatsinks could be vastly improved. Again, look how large many of the heatsink/fan combos are for a single CPU are. It's not surprising that a GTX 295 with two GPUs on a single board are among the ones people have the most trouble keeping cool with the dinky fan and heatsink they put on them. That's part of why I went with two 260's instead of a single 295, but still I have to crank the fan to keep it cool under load. That's life when pushing the envelope I guess.

I think since nVidia is really starting to push CUDA, and as more games that are even more graphics intense than say Crysis come along, they'll have no choice but to rethink the cooling of these monsters.

I'm thinking at this point, I'd like to see someone come out with a small compressor type unit that would simply feed chilled air into a case. If all the fans and heatsinks in my case were sucking in air that was cooler to begin with, it would help everything. Right now, all the fans and heatsinks in the world are still working with room temperature air. I'd prefer that over liquid cooling. Just pump cold air into the case. It wouldn't need to be a very large compressor at all to cool a single pc case. Entrepeneurs? As many modders buy all sorts of extreme cooling things, if the price was right, I think this would sell. I would think the server market would be big as well. I'd buy one.

Post:
Update: now I've run into another bug that others have reported. When BOINC says it's suspended, at least 1 or more of the CUDA tasks keep running. I've even tried manually selecting the task and clicking suspend, and it does show a message saying suspended next to it, yet it keeps ticking up progress and time, and since my fans have slowed down to non-screensaver speed, my card starts heating up again. Plus, even if I left my fans running at full, I don't want CUDA running while I'm trying to play a game.

I give up. I'll have to pass on CUDA projects for now until either BOINC fixes the suspend issue with CUDA processes and adds a way to throttle how hard it works the GPUs, or nVidia improves the cooling issues in their vbios or drivers. I think the issue where you have to turn SLI off to use all your video cards for CUDA needs to be fixed as well.

Oh well... back to 'regular' BOINC.

Post:
Thanks. That worked. I wonder how many people think they're using 2, 3, or even 4 CUDA cards and are really just using 1 since they have SLI enabled for game performance and such.

I think that'd be a great option to add to the BOINC core client, a check box that would tell BOINC to automatically issue commands to disable SLI when doing CUDA, though probably it should also only do that when in screensaver mode so it doesn't impact games and such if they set it to continue working when the computer is in use. Otherwise, on multi-card machines, you'll miss out on a lot of processing speed if the user doesn't take the time to go into the control panel everytime which, to an extent, defeats the whole purpose of using CUDA.

I don't understand why CUDA can't use all cores in SLI mode. Games are written to do that. They in fact are the driving factor for having SLI technology. Is nVidia just behind on enabling their own SLI technology in CUDA?

Anyway, thanks again. I'll disable SLI whenever I'm not playing games for now.

Post:
Well... I'm stubborn and wouldn't give up. I think I found a workaround. It's not perfect, but it works. As I said before, the fans wouldn't ramp up with the temp, so the cards would overheat and become unstable then I'd either get a message saying the driver had an error and has recovered, or worse, a BSOD saying the system has halted to prevent damage, then a reboot. I've never had any problems with these cards until they get over about 65 degrees Celsius, so that's the challenge, to keep them cool when running full tilt.

I kept trying in the nVidia Control Panel to get the fans to speed up as the temperatures climbed. I tried using both device rules in the device settings menu, and creating stored profiles and setting the profile policies to change to profiles with higher speed settings above certain temperatures. Neither worked. I have come to believe there's a bug in either the video bios or the drivers that doesn't let it respond to temperatures correctly.

So, I tried attacking the problem from a different angle, and it worked. Like I said, not perfect, but good enough for my situation for now. What I did was configure BOINC to only run when in screensaver mode, then configured the video cards to crank up the cooling fans whenever the screensaver comes on. I figure if the screensaver is not on, I'm probably playing games, listening to music, or something else where I don't want CUDA loading the machine and the fans loud anyway, so this works for me.

Here's what I did for others that may be having the problem:

1. Go to the BOINC computing preferences.
a. set 'Suspend while computer in use' to Yes
b. set 'In use means activity in last' to exactly same number of minutes as you have your screensaver set to turn on.
c. On the Project tab in BOINC manager, click update to get BOINC to load the new preferences.

Be careful, if you set the preferences in BOINC individually for each computer, make sure you do this on at least all the ones that are CUDA capable, or else clear the preferences there and set them on the web page.

Then, here's how to setup the video card action:

1. Of course, make sure you have the latest drivers installed.

2. Open the nVidia Control Panel.

3. Click 'Device Settings' on the right side. You should now have the 'Create Profile' tab showing.

4. In the 'Cooling' section, move the slider for GeForce GPU to 90%. (I experimented, and I really have to crank the fan that high to keep the GPU below 60c when running CUDA. Don't worry, when we're done, it will only run at that speed when doing CUDA.)

5. Repeat this for each of your GPUs if you have more than one card.

6. Click save. It will prompt for a name. Make sure to give it a new name such as 'CUDA.nsu' or whatever. Just don't overwrite the existing profiles.

7. Now click 'Profile Policies' on the left side.

8. Create two new rules. 1st, create one that says 'Load profile HOT.nsu (or whatever you named it) when screensaver is launched. 2nd, create another rule that says 'Load profile 'osbootpf.nsu' when screensaver is stopped. Make sure both are checked. You should now have 3 rules, since there would have been the default rule to load the osbootpf.nsu when windows starts.

That's it. Now, whenever your machine's screensaver comes on and presumably CUDA starts to crank, your fans will crank up as well to keep the cards cool. Then, when you wake the machine up to play a game or something, CUDA will stop and the fans will slow back down to normal again. I still think the fan speed should be automatic based on temps, but at least this does the job.

Two other things you may want to consider. On the preferences page for BOINC, I would change the 'Leave applications in memory while suspended' to NO since CUDA apps can really load up your video ram and impact performance on things like games. Also, I personally tweaked my osbootpf.nsu profile from the default 40% to 45% for each card. If you do other things that heat up the cards, you may need to set that profile even higher, but very few programs or games run the video cards as hot as all out CUDA processing does, so you probably don't need the fans cranked all the time. That's probably why nVidia sets a default of 40% thinking it's the best balance between what most people need for cooling and noise. Anyway, going to 45% I can hardly hear the difference, but it keeps the cards a few degrees cooler even at idle.

Hope this helps people get rid of driver errors and BSODs when running CUDA. Since I made these changes, I've not had a single error at all. I think heat was the cause of all my stability problems with CUDA. Now, if nVidia would fix the temp responses and BOINC would add preferences for CUDA GPU loads and such, things would be perfect.

Yes, but I'm talking about the fans on the video boards themselves, which are self contained inside the board case and controlled by the video board. If you look at a photo of a GTX 260 or later board, they have their own fans onboard. Those are the ones that should speed up as the GPU gets hotter. It's the GPU, not CPU, that I'm talking about.

18) Message boards : BOINC client : Automatic fan speed control on GTX boards with CUDA (Message 22796)
Posted 31 Jan 2009 by pharrg
Post:
That's what I thought in my original post, that the drivers and vbios should do that automatically, but something must be wrong on my system, because every time I've tried to run some CUDA work, the card just continues to heat up until it crashes with no change in fan speed. As it stands now, I can't run CUDA, but I don't know why my cards are behaving like this. I haven't overclocked or messed with any other settings on the video cards, or the rest of my system for that matter. Frustrating...
19) Message boards : BOINC client : Automatic fan speed control on GTX boards with CUDA (Message 22793)
Posted 31 Jan 2009 by pharrg
Post:
I saw a thread that mentioned fan speeds, but I've yet to figure out how to get the fan speeds to adjust according to work load automatically. I would think the board drivers would do that, but on mine they don't. I have a pair of GTX 260's in SLI. The fan speeds seem to default to 40%. When I start running a CUDA app at full saturation, the temp of the GPUs begin climbing, but the fan speeds never increase correspondingly. Temps continue to climb until the board seizes and causes a driver error and computational error on the unit. I installed the nVidia System Tools package that allows me to manually set the fan speeds, but at times when I'm not running CUDA, such as listening to music or gaming, I don't want my machine sounding like a set of turbines next to me, nor to I want to have to manually change the fan speeds every time I do something different. I tried using the new feature the tools added to create rules for fan speed based on temp, but they appear to have no effect. The speed still stays where you manually set it regardless of temperature. I have the latest nVidia drivers. Again, I would think the drivers would do this automatically. Am I missing something? Perhaps an option could be added to BOINC where we could set the fan behavior when CUDA is being utilized. It probably be a simple, single command to set the speed to a higher setting when CUDA starts, and return it to default when CUDA stops, though ideally I'd prefer to see it tied to actual GPU temp. Am I missing something? Perhaps there's a utility that will monitor temps and change fan speed automatically that someone knows about? Or nVidia could add this to the drivers? Any help appreciated since right now it's either manually crank up the fans, or don't run CUDA. Thanks.
20) Message boards : BOINC client : BOINC only sees one CUDA card even with SLI (Message 22792)
Posted 31 Jan 2009 by pharrg
Post:
I have seen some similar threads, but my setup is slightly different. I too am seeing that BOINC only appears to recognize and use a single card, even though I have 2 in SLI. I was debating buying a 3rd, but not if the apps can't use it. Here's what I have:

Asus P6T6 WS Revolution motherboard
Two GTX 260's in slots 1 and 5 as instructed by the manual for two way SLI.
I did verify in the nVidia control panel that SLI is enabled and non-BOINC apps do see it.

However, here is what BOINC reports:

In a project forum, another user suggested disabling SLI. However, I don't want to have to manually enable and disable SLI everytime I start and stop BOINC to play a game or something. Maybe that could be an option that executes automatically when BOINC either starts, stops, or is suspended? Although, I think the better route would be to enable BOINC to make use of all boards with SLI enabled. Or, is there something I'm doing wrong? Thanks.
