[gentoo-user] heat codes

[gentoo-user] heat codes

[James]

Hello,

I need to monitor this hardware for temperatures, including logging
of temperatures, on as wide array of temperaturr sensors that is
possible with kernel 3.18.6-gentoo.)

Gigabyte  GA-990FXA-UD3
AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor (currently clocked at 4 GHz)
VGA compatible controller Cape Verde PRO [Radeon HD 7750 / R7 250E]


Any there any others?
The generic sensor scan stumbled on the radeon card:
probe the I2C/SMBus adapters:
Using driver `i2c-piix4' for device 0000:00:14.0: ATI Technologies Inc
SB600/SB700/SB800 SMBus
modprobe: FATAL: Module i2c-piix4 not found.
Failed to load module i2c-piix4.
Next adapter: Radeon i2c bit bus 0x90 (i2c-0)
Do you want to scan it? (yes/NO/selectively): yes
{through (i2c-7) all failed.

So lm_sensors only found these modules:

MODULE_0=fam15h_power
MODULE_1=it87
MODULE_2=k10temp

Does anyone with similar hardware have a more extensive list?


What I'd really like is a very fast (real time?) gui to watch
these temperatures as certain portions of codes are compile or executed.
I'm working with a several classes of algorithms, like systolic-algorithms
that push hardware resources, particularly cpu, gpu and ram, to
it's limit; therefore the portions of the codes that cause excessive
thermal stresses on these hardware resources, are of keen interest to me.


A local code that puts significant (heat) stress on a system while
compiling, that anyone can test against is, sci-libs/openfoam

Comment, suggests and web based reading resources are all greatly
appreciated. I did find this interesting resource

OK, so I found this code and added it to the kernel.

No luck on finding/configuring the radeon temperature
sensors.

I'm not sure how to moinor the CPU (8 cores) temperature
and if it is a calculated (estimated value) or a real temp?

# sensors
radeon-pci-0100
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1:        +36.0°C  (crit = +120.0°C, hyst = +90.0°C)

fam15h_power-pci-00c4

k10temp-pci-00c3

                       (crit = +90.0°C, hyst = +87.0°C)

Right now I'm running lxde, but my migration to lxqt (QT5) should
begin very soon so any QT5_ish gui would be very cool too.

em, but you are already monitoring it!

which looks good.

no, that is all you got.

see? radeon. Monitored. Just move along.

you won't get that, because the senors don't update in 'realtime'.

watch -n1 sensors.

Works even without systemd. Shocking, I know.

Maybe. It hard to tell if there are more than one
temperature sensor, what buss interfacet they are on
and if it is a calculated or esitmated or actual temperature
sensor.

That's pretty sad. All that hardware and 3 temps....

Sure. But if I knew of a relatively consistent delay semantic,
I could align the delays in temperature sensing with what's going
on with code compiling or execution; even if it is a rough estimate.

not bad. for quick checks.

> Works even without systemd. Shocking, I know.

As usual, your insight and singular wit makes for pleasurable reading.

it pretty much tells you all that with its name. And for radeon - there
is only one.

use the command below and watch for changes. Some boards update every

There should be more after these, showing your voltages and various MoBo 
sensors.  Can you check that it87 is actually loaded?  lsmod will tell you.

Oh, I just noticed this posting; Dale's latest posting caused me to 
look at the thread again.

rc-status shows lm_sensors running, as does ps.

but  lsmod  is empty:
Module                  Size  Used by

/etc/conf.d/lm_sensors shows:

MODULE_0=fam15h_power
MODULE_1=it87
MODULE_2=k10temp


I think I have it 'compiled in'. Are you sure I should be
seeing more information?

"GA-990FXA-UD3" is the mobo.

I have a 970A-UD3P mobo and I use this under Hardware Monitoring support:

AMD Family 10h+ temperature sensor
AMD Family 15h processor power
ITE IT87xx and compatibles

Under bus support:

Intel PIIX4 and compatible (ATI/AMD/Serverworks/Broadcom/SMSC)

Our mobo isn't exactly the same but if they use the same chips, those
should get you all the info you need. 

I might add, I build everything into the kernel and I don't even install
lm_sensors. I haven't installed that in ages. 

Hope that helps.

Dale

I don't have the same MoBo and have compiled my corresponding chipset sensor 
driver as a module.  It doesn't load unless I manually modprobe it or set it

I've used the kernel drivers for ages and have had no issues with it so
I keep using it.  I get all the fans speeds, temps and such that I have
sensors for.  If I enable the setting in my BIOS, I can even alter the
way the fans are temp controlled.  Since the mobo does such a good job
on that, I never had the reason to use that.

Does that mean that your gkrellm can't display temperatures?

It's been displaying temps for many years.  I posted a list in my reply
to Mick.  I also can get voltages but don't have it set to show them.  I
do also monitor temps on the hard drives.  That's done through the smart
thingy.

I don't know what led you to list that directory, but now that I look 
into my own setup I see I'm using kernel modules too. I know I used to 
use lm_sensors at one time, but genlop doesn't know about it so I must 
have omitted it when I last reinstalled.

From my understanding, you can use either the kernel drivers or
lm-sensors.  Many years ago, I sort of got bored installing lm-sensors
and running the setup stuff all the time.  I seem to recall, you have to
do it again when you upgrade the kernel too.  Anyway, I started using
the kernel drivers and I've been doing it that way ever since.  Hey, it
works.  It also gets updated with each kernel upgrade too. 

I'm all for what works.  It works for me and seems it works for you as
well so, yeppie!!!   Given I been battling the flu for a few weeks,
yeppie is about as good as it gets right now.  I never could dance
anyway.  ;-)

Oh, I listed my sensor stuff because Mick listed his.  I thought we
could compare what we each get.  It looks the same to me.  I just didn't
see the need in posting it twice when odds are you will see both posts
anyway.  :-)

Really?

I didn't know this.  I have installed both, seemingly without any ill effects.

I didn't know this either.  Anyway, gkrellm works happily which is what I 
primarily use, unless I'm login in remotely in which case I just run 'watch -d 
sensors' if I want to check what's happening on the MoBo.

I'm not sure if this is still available or not but doesn't gkrellm do
this sort of thing?  I used it to monitor another rig several years
ago.  May be worth looking into.

That (gkrellm) codebase looks old, un-maintained and  wee bit clumsy. It's
interesting to examine for ideas. I think I'm going with something a bit more
embedded inspired, for speed and portability reasons. I also have since
found this interesting piece of code;

sys-cluster/ganglia

First glance, it's a bit heavy-handed for my needs. I've gotta keep
looking before I decide on a path forward for RT temperature monitoring,
dB tracking and problem profiling. 

Thanks!

While it has been a while since I used gkrellm to monitor a remote
system, I use it every day to monitor my system I sit at.  Keep in mind,
not much changes on how gkrellm works.  It looks for temp/fan/CPU/memory
etc info and displays it.  I'm not sure it requires a whole lot of
updating to do that especially given it has worked fine here for ages
and not much has really changed. 

It was the remote part that I wasn't sure about.  I know it used to have
that feature and if it still does, the remote part works just like the
local part does.  You just tell it to monitor something other than the
system you are sitting at. 

Sorry I wasn't more clear in my first message.

Yes, I have two instances of it running permanently too. Though I think 
James is right too, in that it does still have the odd bug.

$ gkrellm -s <host>

Then set it up the same way as you would the local one. KDE even knows 
to restart it along with other progs, which is more than can be said for 
Chromium.

I haven't had any trouble with mine.  It just sits there and runs until
I logout.  What is this bug it suffers from?

Yay! We've finally found some software that works perfectly for Dale yet
shows bugs for other people!

You're slipping, Dale!

Just a minor thing, Dale. Each curve plotted - of, say, traffic over 
eth0 - is supposed to show a numerical value in the upper left corner, 
but from time to time one of those will stop being shown. It then stays 
that way until I remove my .gkrellm2 directory and set the program up 
again.

Oh, and the Invisible theme stopped being invisible when KDE-4.0 was 
first allowed to escape. I reported it at the time, but nothing's 
happened as far as I can see.

Nothing major, as I said. I can live with it.

You can switch the numerics on and off by left mouse click into the
respective monitor.

Well, I'll be damned! I never found that out for myself, not in all

This is funny.  I accidentally clicked the thing and later on,
accidentally clicked it again to turn it back on.   Now, first time,
makes me go hmmmmmm.  Second time, hair puller.  It took me a while to
figure out what I was accidentally doing to fix it.  For a bit, I was
scared to put my mouse anywhere near the thing.  I wasn't sure what else
I might accidentally mess up. 

Well, now you know.  ;-)

Something similar happened to me. I accidentally pressed F6 while
focused gkrellm but didn't noticed it. Some time later I realized that
the fontsize of gkrellm was increased so that it's height doesn't fit
to the screen anymore. Fist I thought that it has something to do with
the latest update. It took some time till I recognized that I simply
had to press F7 to restore the fontsize to its former height. :-)

Well, you should have seen the look on my face the other day when
Firefox went FULL SCREEN.  I mean full screen like it does when I hit F
and am watching a video.  Heck, I didn't have a menu at the top,  To
this day, I have no clue what I did.  I was typing a comment on a social
site and all of the sudden, it went sucky.  Still no clue but thank
goodness it fixed itself after I killed it and restarted.

I think I tried that.  I think I tried all the F* keys.  I was also able
to ctrl F* to get to another desktop and use a second browser to try and
figure the thing out.  I tried a few things I found online but none of
them worked.  Also weird, I was typing normal characters when it went
weird on me just like I am in this email.  No ctrl, alt or other keys. 
The closest I got to those was the shift key for capitol letters. 

I just hope I never run into that again.  o_O
