Ploting with two NVIDIA Quadros M6000 using Direct mode.



  • @jervis Foot? Miners? what about remote access? obviously you're not aware of what's going on with your Hardware ..
    Never mind dude xD



  • @rnahlawi man, please. All i want to say is I have no control over the plotting of our hard drives. It's off site. I can't plot it in my place. The person plotting is not giving me access to his PC. if i can access it, I would have already told you without all the drama. It's too freaking simple to get the device config if i can have access. even a chimp can do it (i think). Foot? I can't get there on foot. We talk on chat all the time. That's why i know what is going on in the plotting. He's sending me screenshots. Do i have to explain everything? It's too simple to understand. Anyways, relax man, drink your morning coffee first. :)



  • @jervis Its just when you share something like that, you should expect such questions and you should be ready with answers. A good one will be close to "I'll check the devices config with my friend and get back to you" rather than appearing that you're not willing to share info.
    Anyways, no hard feelings at all .. i'm mining with your pool and i like your asset and as long as i'm generating burst i dont really care how you do it .. You're the one who should relax, it's already time for my evening beer in here, cheers :)



  • @rnahlawi i just answered the question of @wolf Do you have a rx480? If so what's the nonces/minutes? Also do you think its faster to plot first and optimize after.

    I said: Rx 480 can do 31k nonces per minute in direct. :) I think that's the bottleneck of our HDD's USB 3.0

    and then, @Njcfamily31907 said that it's unlikely so i posted a screenshot.

    Then @CesBurst1782 asked me how did i do it. My answer was very straightforward that i Dont know. What's wrong with what i said?

    THis is what i said: "jervis about 2 hours ago @CesBurst1782
    @CesBurst1782 I don't really know what the device config text is. It's in a location I can't reach on foot and my friend is not telling me what he has done with the config. He just says he did something with it.

    Now, please tell me, was there an answer there which means that I don't wanna share? I simply said i dont know and my friend (who is doing the plotting) is not telling me. Of course, I asked him and he just said "SECRET".

    I'm frosty man. :) and we're fam here. Just a simple misunderstanding, that's all. :)

    @Njcfamily31907 31K nonces is easily doable by a 480. This is from one of my 470's - writing to an SSD:

    100% (753664 nonces), 29730.34 nonces/minutes, 25m 21s



  • @Wolf No, unfortunately I don't have one (:sigh), only an inefficient gtx 560ti. But I remember haitch said here that an r9 280x can do 40.000 nonces/min (167 MB/sec, more than most hdds maximum write speed). I suppose that rx480 can do better, because the hash function behind burstcoin is sha256, same of bitcoin, and I read benchmarks where rx480 performs better than 280x in bitcoin mining...
    About directly optimization vs optimize after plotting is difficult to say... In my case my CPU can plot much faster on /async mode of janror cpu plotter(unoptimized plot output) than my GPU, so for me it's better to optimize after plotting: but probably this is not your case. Also remember that you need extra space for use the plot optimizer



  • I also do some plotting on the side for my friends who mine burst and an RX480 can easily break 30K+++

    Generating nonces...
    61.59% (9388032/15243648 remaining nonces), 32625.65 nonces/minutes, ETA: 2h 59m 28s...



  • And as for configs, I believe they rely on the type of card and your overall system configuration,

    Just try plotting maybe a hundred thousand nonces .

    use
    8192 64 8192

    and increase x2 every time to see if your system can handle it.

    If it can't start, then use the last configuration that worked.

    It's not really a one-size-fits all solution.

    Thats buffer or direct with that speed?



  • also do anyone know if I have to lower the stagger size when plotting more that one drives.

    Example: 1 Drive
    gpuPlotGenerator generate direct D://3225037558013223906_0_34278400_105472

    Example: 2 Drives
    gpuPlotGenerator generate direct D://3225037558013223906_0_34278400_52736 F://3225037558013223906_34278400_34278400_52736

    The 105472 stagger size is already using up 26GB of CPU RAM. I was wondering if I leave both drives to 105472 will the drives share the 105472 or will it double?


  • admin

    @Wolf it will use the configured stagger per simultaneous plot. So if plotting more than one drive at a time, split your stagger over all the drives. eg If you plotted a single drive with a 32768 stagger, and now wanted to plot 4 drives at once, use an 8192 stagger.



  • @haitch Do the drive mine better if I plot one drive at a time using the 32768 stagger vs the 8192 stagger or does it matter?


  • admin

    @Wolf It depends what your bottleneck is - if the card(s) can plot faster than a single drive can write, you'll see a performance boost by doing multiple drives, if however your card cant plot as fast as a drive can be written, you'll see no benefit - a two drive plot will just take twice as long.
