 Posted: Tue Jan 18, 2011 3:22 pm Post subject: BOINC and ATI GPU [Success] |
 |
|
I've just installed this gpu (HD4650) and followed the X server config guide and am using the gpu for display so I know the gpu is ok and the system recognises it. What do I need to do (what packages need to be installed) for boinc to recognise it - the startup log keeps stating no usable gpus found. So far I've installed ati-drivers and added boinc to the video group but still no joy.
Edit: Updated title as not specific to HD4650
Edit: Updated title - now we can crunch with boinc as a service

Step 1 - emerge ati code with OpenCL support
Edit /etc/make.conf
| Code: | | VIDEO_CARDS="fglrx" |
Add OpenCL support
| Code: | echo "x11-drivers/ati-drivers opencl" >> /etc/portage/package.use
echo "dev-util/opencl-headers" >> /etc/portage/package.keyword |
Re-emerge all packages with new USE flags
Step 2 - Set OpenGL to ATI
| Code: | | # eselect opengl set ati |
Step 3 - Configure X for fglrx
| Code: | # aticonfig --initial
# aticonfig --initial=check |
Step 4 - Add OpenCL symlinks
| Code: | ln -s /usr/lib32/libOpenCL.so.1 /usr/lib32/libOpenCL.so
ln -s /usr/lib64/libOpenCL.so.1 /usr/lib64/libOpenCL.so |
Step 5 - Create a symlink to libaticalrt.so
| Code: | | ln -snf /usr/lib64/libaticalrt.so /var/lib/boinc/libaticalrt.so |
Step 6 - Edit /etc/conf.d/boinc
you want to change the boinc references to your username
| Quote: | # Owner of BOINC process (must be existing)
USER="boinc"
GROUP="boinc" |
eg.
| Code: | USER="trogdog"
GROUP="trogdog" |
Step 7 - Edit /etc/init.d/boinc
we want the boinc service to be the last thing that starts
| Quote: | depend() {
# we can use dns and net, but we can also in most cases live without them
use dns net
after xdm local
} |
Step 8 - Check that boinc will indeed recognise your gpu
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/boinc start |
Edits to follow
Edit: modified video_cards flag and need to emerge ati-drivers - thanks to Goverp
Edit: removed Step 5 - Add boinc user to video group
Edit: removed need to reconfigure X - step 4 covers this
Edit: removed trailing ) for HD5000, updated firware blobs for HD 6XXX
Edit: removed need to emerge radeon-ucode and recompile kernel with firmware blobs - thanks to a post by Veldrin
Edit: added OpenCL support as of ati-drivers-11.11 (required to crunch primegrid wu's and likely others in the future)
Edit: added steps 5 through 8

You want VIDEO_CARDS="fglrx". "radeon" is for the open-source video drivers in xf86-video-ati.
FWIW, mostly the VIDEO_CARDS is used by the xorg-server ebuild to decide which driver to install - i.e. saves you doing "emerge ati-drivers" (which would be the one selected by fglrx). I think some other ebuilds use it, such as mesa. Your system works because you've explicitly emerged the drivers you want, and the VIDEO_CARDS setting just makes xorg-server dependent on xf86-video-ati, which you're ignoring.
Also FWIW, I have a similar software setup and configuration as per your description, but BOINC stubbornly ignores my HD 3200. I always assumed it was a hardware issue! Did you find any diagnostics to help work out how to get yours going?

Thanks Goverp I'll make those changes tonight.
To test if BOINC can use your gpu stop any instances of BOINC, open a root terminal (# boinc_client) or a user terminal (~ sudo boinc_client) - this must be done inside X (eg gnome-terminal, etc). This will start a new instance of BOINC - not attached to any projects - and one of the last lines of output you should see is your gpu being recognised. If that's the case kill this instance of BOINC and then
| Code: | | boinc_client --dir /var/lib/boinc |
that will restart BOINC using your existing projects, wu's etc and recognise your gpu.

Most odd. When I start boinc or boinc_client (same Inode, actually) from the command line, it sees the GPU:

I've stared at /etc/init.d/boinc and /etc/conf.d/boinc, but I can't see anything to cause this behaviour. And eyeballing "locate boinc | less" just shows a nice clean installation of the current BOINC application.

Yeah - it's been reported that adding xhost local:boinc to the init script in ubuntu and archlinux fixes the problem
| Code: |
start()
{
log_begin_msg "Starting $DESC: $NAME"
if is_running; then
log_progress_msg "already running"
else
sleep 5
xhost local:boinc &> /dev/null
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --background --pidfile $PIDFILE \
--make-pidfile --user $BOINC_USER --chuid $BOINC_USER \
--chdir $BOINC_DIR --exec $BOINC_CLIENT -- $BOINC_OPTS
fi
log_end_msg 0
|
I tried
| Code: | else
CHRT="eval /usr/bin/chrt ${SCHED_PARAM}"
fi
# added to get boinc to see gpu
sleep 15
xhost local:boinc &> /dev/null
# end of additions
${CHRT} start-stop-daemon \
--start --quiet --chdir "${RUNTIMEDIR}" \
--background \
--make-pidfile \
--pidfile "${PIDFILE}" \
--chuid "${USER}:${GROUP}" \
--nicelevel "${NICELEVEL}" \
|
but no joy. I don't know enough about init scripts and the X environment, but I'm going to keep trying.

Redundant Step - Now covered in 2nd post in thread
Slightly OT but to crunch with the primegrid gpu app you need libOpenCL.so this is available in the ati-stream-sdk-bin package from the pentoo overlay.
Steps invloved are
1. Install layman and subversion
2. Install the pentoo overlay
| Code: | layman -L
layman -a pentoo
echo "source /var/lib/layman/make.conf" >> /etc/make.conf |
3. Install ati-stream-sdk
| Code: | emerge ati-stream-sdk-bin
eselect opencl set ati |

Redundant Step - Now covered in 2nd post in thread
Success - I'm now able to have BOINC start automatically on boot from within X - having it recognise the GPU. These instructions are Gnome specific and require that the user is auto logged in by gdm.
1. Stop BOINC starting as a service
| Code: | | # rc-update del boinc default |
2. Make your user owner of all BOINCs files
| Code: | | #chown -vR trogdog /var/lib/boinc |
3. Create a Startup Application
Gnome Menu Bar - System/Preferences/Startup Applications
Click Add
Name: BOINC Autostart
Command: gnome-terminal -x boinc_client --dir /var/lib/boinc
Comment: Runs BOINC in terminal window
4. Reboot

@Trog Dog,
Do you have xhost installed? I didn't.
Nevermind, didn't matter.

As of ati-drivers-11.11 opencl is now available with the opencl use flag.
To move from the amdstream package from nbigaouette's overlay to the opencl provided by ati-drivers
1. Stop boinc
2. Unmerge amdstream and eselect-opencl
3. Remove the remnants
| Code: | rm /etc/env.d/03opencl

4. Specify the opencl use flag for ati-drivers
| Code: | | echo "x11-drivers/ati-drivers opencl" >> /etc/portage/package.use |
5. Update ati-drivers
| Code: | | emerge -1 ati-drivers |
6. Create new symbolic links

Success! After nearly 12 months of on and off fiddling I've finally worked out how to run boinc as a daemon and have it recognise the ATI/AMD gpu.
1. Stop boinc
2. Create a symlink to libaticalrt.so
| Code: | | ln -snf /usr/lib64/libaticalrt.so /var/lib/boinc/libaticalrt.so |
3. Edit /etc/conf.d/boinc
you want to change the boinc references to your username
| Quote: | # Owner of BOINC process (must be existing)
USER="boinc"
GROUP="boinc" |
eg.
| Code: | USER="trogdog"
GROUP="trogdog" |
4. Edit /etc/init.d/boinc
we want the boinc service to be the last thing that starts
| Quote: | depend() {
# we can use dns and net, but we can also in most cases live without them
use dns net
after xdm local
} |
5. Check that boinc will indeed recognise your gpu
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/boinc start |
If all is well add boinc to your default runlevel
| Code: | | rc-update add boinc default |
6. Check that this works on a reboot Note if you're using the autostart terminal workaround I posted previously remember to disable that before rebooting
Happy crunching and merry christmas

11.11 doesn't seem to want to crunch Milkyway. They all error out after 1 or 2 seconds.

It's a 4870. The reason I got it was so I could crunch Milkyway. I recently installed the OpenCL for the Primegrid Challenge, but otherwise I don't really need it. I think you have to have a more recent version of BOINC to crunch the POEM app.

see if you can downgrade your ati-drivers, the latest upgrade broke compatibility with the 4xxx series and milkyway and collatz - both those apps are the old CAL apps which ATI/AMD no longer supports, 5XXX and above weren't affected but how long this will last? I wouldn't hold my breath.

you'll probably have to downgrade xorg too
If you want to upgrade boinc to the latest 7 series the modifications to the current ebuild are trivial, and I can post the details.

I wouldn't hold my breath.

I masked >=x11-drivers/ati-drivers-11.11 and it took me down to around 11.8. The downgrade of xorg is automatic. I guess if(when) Milkyway switches to OpenCL, I'll remove the mask.

If any future version of ati-drivers starts to work with milkyway again I'll let you know (11.12 certainly doesn't)
