Remove unwanted kernel & version lock

• boot in pervious kernel
• list kernels: rpm -qa kernel-core
• remove unwanted kernels: dnf remove ...
• install version lock: dnf install 'dnf-command(versionlock)'
• set version lock: dnf versionlock add kernel-core kernel-devel kernel-modules

Spacemesh on Centos9

This assumes you got NVIDIA drivers loaded (525), clinfo, opencl all working. Also NVIDIA toolkit 11 installed.

POST

• git clone https://github.com/spacemeshos/post
• make install
• cp /home/srv_spacemesh/post/build/libpost.so /usr/lib64/

GPU-POST first (may not be needed anymore)

• dnf install libstdc++-static
  
• git clone https://github.com/spacemeshos/gpu-post
• cd gpu-post/
• git checkout v0.1.28
  
• git submodule update --init

vim CMakeLists.txt and comment out

#if(UNIX AND NOT APPLE)
#    set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS "${CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS} -static-libstdc++ -static-libgcc -pthread")
#endif()

• cmake -B build -DSPACEMESHVULKAN=OFF -DCUDA_TOOLKIT_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/cuda-12.1/
• cmake --build build -j24
• cp /home/srv_spacemesh/gpu-post/build/src/libgpu-setup.so /usr/lib64/

 Now we can run the benchmarks

• ./build/test/gpu-setup-test -c -n 100663296 -d 20
• ./build/test/gpu-setup-test -b -n 2000000

GO-SPACEMESH second

• git clone https://github.com/spacemeshos/go-spacemesh
• cd go-spacemesh/
• git checkout v0.2.21-beta.0
• make install
• make build
  
• ./build/go-spacemesh version

 SMAPP last

• git clone https://github.com/spacemeshos/smapp
• cd smapp/
• git checkout v0.2.11
• mkdir node/linux
• cp ../go-spacemesh/build/go-spacemesh node/linux/
• export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider
• yarn
• yarn package-linux

Start the app:   ./release/linux-unpacked/spacemesh_app

 

 

Check NVIDIA GPU NUMA Affinity

> nvidia-smi topo -m
        GPU0    CPU Affinity    NUMA Affinity
GPU0     X      64-127,192-254  1

Legend:

  X    = Self
  SYS  = Connection traversing PCIe as well as the SMP interconnect between NUMA nodes (e.g., QPI/UPI)
  NODE = Connection traversing PCIe as well as the interconnect between PCIe Host Bridges within a NUMA node
  PHB  = Connection traversing PCIe as well as a PCIe Host Bridge (typically the CPU)
  PXB  = Connection traversing multiple PCIe bridges (without traversing the PCIe Host Bridge)
  PIX  = Connection traversing at most a single PCIe bridge
  NV#  = Connection traversing a bonded set of # NVLinks
