Hi Eric Driver and mg13[HWU], no good news.

The downgrade of the graphical adapter device driver was not useful.

I installed Radeon Software Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.10.1.
OpenCL: AMD/ATI GPU 0: AMD Radeon R7 200 Series (driver version 2906.10, device version OpenCL 1.2 AMD-APP (2906.10), 2048MB, 2048MB available, 499 GFLOPS peak)

After 19 hours of “Elapsed Time”, the “Progress” is frozen at 15% and the “Ramaining (estimated)” time is 4 days. The “Ramaing (estimated)” time is still rising.

I agree to Eric Driver, my GPU is to old for “Get Decic Fields 3.05 (opencl_amd)” application.
I had the same issue (I mean the “Ramaing (estimated)” time is rising limitless) with Einstain@home application. The response was: R7 240 has GCN 1.0 architecture.

I'm sorry it's not working.
If you have time and want to try version 19.9.2, just for the correctness of the tests and my curiosity, thank you.

All the WUs of the “Get Decic Fields v3.05 (opencl_amd) windows_x86_64” application show the “Ramaining (estimated)” time is forever rising.
I prefer to abort all the WUs and to wait for some news in this forum thread.

GPU: Sapphire Radeon R7 240 (2GB)
Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 19.12.3 Driver Version 19.50.03.05 (Windows Driver Store Version 26.20.15003.5016)
OpenCL: AMD/ATI GPU 0: AMD Radeon R7 200 Series (driver version 3004.7, device version OpenCL 1.2 AMD-APP (3004.7), 2048MB, 2048MB available, 499 GFLOPS peak).

I know my GPU is quite old.
If you think my GPU is the root cause of my issue, please tell me.

Have you read the whole discussion?
Have you tried installing version 19.10.1 and 19.9.2 OF AMD RADEON drivers to see if it works as it did to me?

Hi guys
I wanted to notify you that I sent AMD the report of the application problem with the drivers.
I invite all those who have had the same problems to do the same.
The more reports they receive and maybe first solve the problem.

I also tried version 20.2.2 that does not work, but the processing progress percentage stops at 30.042% and not 10.020% as in previous drivers.

Eric, did you report the problem to AMD?

A problem has been reported with the Adrenalin 2020 drivers affecting the third-party SETI@Home OpenCL application, especially on RX 57xx cards. That problem was acknowledged and fixed in Beta version 20.1.1, and release version 20.1.3

Thank you for reporting, but I already knew and in fact that's why I reinstalled the drivers amd radeon 20.1.3.
The problem here is not of the wrong results, but that fails has to produce them.

Update.
I received the wu and with drivers amd radeon 19.12.2 does not work with numberfield, the processing progress percentage stops at 10.020% as in versions 20.2.1 and 20.1.3.
OpenCL: AMD/ATI GPU 0: AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary (driver version 3004.7 (PAL,LC), device version OpenCL 2.0 AMD-APP (3004.7), 8176MB, 8176MB available, 4685 GFLOPS peak).

Apparently these last 3 versions that belong to Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition do not work, why?

Have they updated the OpenCL compilers?
Eric do you need to recompile the applications?

I hope I've been helpful and have an answer.

Thank you and good work.


Thanks for testing!

Recompiling the apps would have no effect - since I haven't changed them it would just give the same executable. The likely culprit is the AMD openCL compiler, since it compiles the code at runtime. Did the openCL version change between drivers?

Mine was just a guess, not knowing more than fish to catch to try to solve the problem.
Under each version of the drivers I had entered what appears to me in the event log of the BOINC client.
At this time I reinstalled the amd radeon 20.1.3 drivers that does not work with numberfield and this and what is written in the event log of the BOINC client:
OpenCL: AMD/ATI GPU 0: AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary (driver version 3004.8 (PAL,LC), device version OpenCL 2.0 AMD-APP (3004.8), 8176MB, 8176MB available, 4685 GFLOPS peak).
If you need anything else, let me know.

Here I am, for an update, as I imagined theoretically even version 19.10.1 worked and the GPU took about 54 minutes to process the WU.
Now I'm going to install version 19.12.2 of the Amd Radeon drives and then update it as soon as I get a wu to process.

The contents of the slot directories sounds right. And it sounds like the GPU is still hanging in the same spot. Again, I think this is an AMD openCL driver issue. I actually saw something similar on the linux side in the early days which went away once I got the driver installed correctly.


Reading the message gave me the idea to try some driver versions and I had the following results:

amd radeon 20.2.1 driver does not work with numberfield
amd radeon 20.1.3 driver does not work with numberfield
OpenCL: AMD/ATI GPU 0: AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary (driver version 3004.8 (PAL,LC), device version OpenCL 2.0 AMD-APP (3004.8), 8176MB, 8176MB available, 4685 GFLOPS peak)

amd radeon driver 19.9.2 works with numberfield
OpenCL: AMD/ATI GPU 0: AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary (driver version 2906.10 (PAL,LC), device version OpenCL 2.0 AMD-APP (2906.10), 8176MB, 8176MB available, 4685 GFLOPS peak).

Now I have installed version 19.10.1 which has the same OpenCL version as the 19.9.2, so in theory, it should work.
When I get an WU to process, I'll let you know.
I forgot to say that the WU x the CPU finished it in about 2 hours and 15 minutes, while that x the GPU in about 10 minutes with the version of the working drivers.

I did a test, disconnected myself to the project and then reconnected with BOINC client.
He downloaded me all the necessary files and 2 wu, one for the CPU and one for the GPU and all 2 processing started.
Looking in the slot directories where they are processing I noticed that in the CPU there are 8 files:

wu_sf3_DS-14x271_Grp1669265of3932160_checkpoint
boinc_task_state.xml
boinc_lockfile
init_data.xml
stderr.txt
GetDecics_3.00_windows_x86_64
In
Out

While in the GPU there are 8 files:

boinc_lockfile
GetDecics_3.05_windows_x86_64__opencl_amd
gpuMultiPrecAMD.h
In
init_data.xml
Out
pdtKernelAMD.cl
stderr.txt

CPU wu processing progresses every 2 minutes or so, while GPU processing has stopped at 10.020% despite continuing processing.

This morning when I turned on the PC and started BOINC, the percentage of the CPU wu progressed from where it stopped last night and then progressed, while that of the GPU wu started from scratch and after 25 seconds it came to 10.020% and from there it does not move , as I said in the previous posts.

I hope I've helped you better understand my problem.
Good luck with your work.

Ah I forgot, a curiosity, how come application files don't have the .exe extension?

Thanks for the reply, but I have also tried various versions of the drivers, both beta and certified and I have always had the same problem and only with your project.
I also wanted to report that I do not receive the notification email when someone replies in the forum you have my messages, despite having ticked the box to immediately receive the notification via email in the preferences and I also checked in the junk mail if by chance there was.

So I tried to suspend the wu, close the boinc client and restart the PC, then restart the boinc client and the WU and the progress percentage restarts from 0% and after 30 seconds it returns to 9.996% and then remains stuck there.
I also tried suspending the wu and the percentage was always 9.996%, after which the client boinc downloaded me a wu of Seti@home beta x GPU opencl and before starting the processing of the wu, the AMD RADEON software restarted .
In the meantime, I removed the suspension from the wu Numberfields@home, when, after having finished processing the wu from Seti, it always started from the pecial 9.996% and from there it never moved.
This morning I restarted the PC and started the client boinc, the wu as always started from 0% and now after 14 hours of processing it is still stopped at 9.996%.
I looked at the stderr.txt file in the wu processing slot folder and noticed these two entries:
CHECKPOINT_FILE = wu_sf3_DS-14x271_Grp1326090of3932160_checkpoint.
Checkpoint Flag = 0.

Are they right?
In fact there is no checkpoint file on my PC.
Sorry for the length of the message, but I had to explain the various tests made.

hi everyone, I have a problem with this app.
Passing the calculation hours, the percentage of progress remains at 9.996%.
Also when I close boinc and then turn off the PC, the GPU remains 99% occupied, crashing either the whole PC or the AMD driver.
Does it just happen to me?
