I sure hope that everyone else is getting as many Cancer WU's as me 🙂. Bring them on, but boy howdy do they drop the PPD... 

 

Yeah, I've been munching away on a number of them.

 

Also, something from Bahl Lab (WU 18414) on the CPU that takes almost all day.  Thankfully, at least the WU points are decent enough.

Ooooo.  A special binned 5950x.  Noice.  😄

It holds 4.6 ghz if I really push it. I got it practically for free from someone who was throughing out their motherboard, CPU and ram as it was playing up. I swapped them a Ryzen 1600 system for it. Ordered a new BIOS chip for it and it's performed admirably since.

If only F@H didn't keep restarting my main folder, especially on the first day, but I'm glad to be where I'm at. 

 

I have another rig trying to get rolling, but the cpu is bottlenecking the cards on there. It's a 2core2thread cpu (Intel G3930) and it's 100% even with 2 cards. Anymore cards and it increases the complete time for wu. It's crazy.

So........ My VM decided to do the age old Lazy kid thing, "Don't do anything when they're not looking", so it hasn't been folding for the 12 hrs I haven't been SSH'ed in

Losing two pieces of hardware in one day sucks, but it's nice to see how well the X58 platform has held up. My Xeon X5675 is getting about 46K PPD right now.

Of course you use AMD pro drivers.  That's the 21.10 driver I installed above.

 

Also as a point of clarification, you can't install those drivers on a default 5.11 kernel.  They won't compile.  After you do the install of Linux Mint and do the updates, install the 5.8 kernel (Update Manager/View/Linux Kernels).  Reboot and at the grub menu prompt (ESC at boot time) manually select that 5.8 kernel to start the PC with.  Then use the same software (Update Manager/View/Linux Kernels) to yank out the 5.11 kernel so it will default to the 5.8 on the next boot.  Since you're now in 5.8, go ahead and install the AMD pro drivers (don't forget the --opencl=rocr command line parameter) which will now be quite happy with the kernel version.  Then go ahead and install the Corectrl app from the PPA which will most likely update certain 21.10 parts to 21.30.  Don't forget to add the grub directive and update grub.  Reboot.  Then handle the Folding at home install (and issues which are many).

 

Further, I've attached a command capture that shows the end result (sans F@H stuff).

Thinking of dabbling in linux now that you've mentioned Linux mint works a lot better than the other *buntu distros so I can use my windows install for gaming. Just based on the stock install of Mint 20.2, the kernel installed by default seems to be 5.4. Is it possible to just stay on 5.8 and not bother with upgrading it to 5.8? Also would the latest amd pro drivers on linux also exhibit the weird performance degradation as well or is it just better to install 21.10 drivers anyways?

I'm doing 96K PPD on 2x X5670's, and 46K PPD on a stock W3680, so you're right in the ballpark.

Also would the latest amd pro drivers on linux also exhibit the weird performance degradation as well or is it just better to install 21.10 drivers anyways?

Yes, 5.4 is there.  But when you do a full "apt update and apt upgrade" you'll get a current kernel in the 5.11 series.  Just make sure that you've installed a 5.8 kernel through the "Update Manager/View/Linux Kernels".  When you're happy with your install, you can yank out the 5.4, but under no circumstances ever be left with only ONE kernel.  Make sure you have at least 2 WORKING kernels as you'll need a backup "just in case".

 

I assume you meant "just stay on 5.4" above.  You could, but I'm usually chasing the most current kernel for safety and device support reasons.  However, 5.11 can't be used with the 21.10 AMD Pro drivers.  So it's "one level back" and on Mint, that means 5.8.

 

As for performance degradation?  Sure, anything can happen with software, even though the programmers and system support ppl wish it didn't.  I assume they're trying their hardest not to introduce regressions unless some other directive from upper echelons deems that performance priorities lie elsewhere.  This is the reason I'm staying with 21.10 and have any other support software upgrade the AMDGPU components as they see fit (I believe the PPA for Corectrl has upgraded some of the AMD drivers to 21.30 - so far everything is OK performance wise).  If the Windows drivers as they have progressed resulted in some serious performance problems with F@H, I'm staying with essentially the same "vintage" of AMD Pro drivers.  Only testing on like hardware with more progressive kernels and AMD GPU pro drivers will tell.  I am assuming that there are performance regressions (since it happened in Windows) without actually proving it with fresh or upgraded installs which can be messy to revert.

 

As a change to my instructions, I could hazard a recommendation to install the 21.30 AMD pro drivers, but make sure they're running on a 5.8 kernel.

 

I will test out the newer 5.13 kernels sometime in the future (as they have better support for AMD RX-6xxx graphics cards), but that won't happen until after folding month.  I have a stable Linux install now, that's performing well, so I won't mess with it.
