GPU plot generator v4.1.1 (Win/Linux)

@vadirthedark
mmmm in the devices.txt there must be just the numbers you wrote, nothing more than that!
So be sure you didn't accidentaly pushed a space or the enter button, than save again
-
@ccminer Getting closer :)
Received this after I checked devices.txt:Loading platforms...

-
@vadirthedark check your path (plot path) there must be a mistake
-
@ccminer Checked gparted, shower path to be /dev/sdc1 so I revised path with same message. Ideas?
-
@vadirthedark when I got that message was because the path was wrong I fixed it and it worked I don't know if you can get the same message for another error
-
@ccminer Was your path and my similar?
-
@vadirthedark /media/imbota/burst
If you named your computer imbota and your external HD burst so yes it is right, else it is wrong
-
@ccminer I did name my computer 'imbota' and the drive 'burst'. If I say the path is /media/imbota/burst/ do I need to add something after burst/ for the plot file name (plots, coin, etc.)?
When I go to my Files in Ubuntu and select 'burst' drive I get a pop-up that shows /media/imbota/burst-I assume this is the path to the drive. Since my burst files are on another drive (1st HHD) does this have an affect?I read in a forum where someone had this problem and placed the burst files on the drive to plot-the problem went away.
In the Readme at the section on Generate it states:
Example usage:
./gpuPlotGenerator generate buffer /path/to/files/123456_0_50000_5000The part /path/to/files/ confuses me. It seems to say the program will be looking for 'files' in order to place info? Am I wrong?
Above you say "...., so I just command the plotter to create the plot file there". How did you do this?
Thanks for your help.
-
@vadirthedark should be like this in your case:
./gpuPlotGenerator generate buffer /media/imbota/burst/123456_0_50000_5000
(change the last numbers after "burst/" with your own wallet number id and your settings)
-
@ccminer Update - I checked drive permissions and revised them and placed a 'plots' folder on drive 'burst'.
Ran the generate again and got this:

-
@vadirthedark I think you should fix the numbers in your devices.txt

@ccminer New #'s
0 0 512 128 8192 (devices.txt)
_0_19700000_50000 (gpu generate)It is working!! Here is one of the last lines:
0.02% (3584/19700000 remaining nonces), 926.90 nonces/minutes, ETA: 2w 0d 18h 9m
How do these #'s compare? Do you know if adjustments can be made while plotting is going on?
Thanks for all your help - could not have made it without your expert help!
-
@vadirthedark
I don't think you can adjust while plotting! But you can mine during plotting!
You are welcome!!
Other folks helped me a lot and I'm gald I could do the same for you ;)

@luxe I set up the plotter on Linux. I have started plotting at ~14,000 nonces per minute. I have 2 Tesla m2050. my parameters are 0_200000_20000. This is the device ID :
Id: 0
Type: GPU
Name: Tesla M2050
Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
Version: OpenCL 1.1 CUDA
Driver version: 367.57
Max clock frequency: 1147MHz
Max compute units: 14
Global memory size: 2GB 574MB 192KB
Max memory allocation size: 655MB 560KB
Max work group size: 1024
Local memory size: 48KB
Max work-item sizes: (1024, 1024, 64)I set up the device.txt as follows : 0 0 2048 256 8192
Do you know which parameters to use to increase plotting speeds ?
-
@CoinBuster If drive write speed is the bottleneck, you could try to plot multiple drives at once. But sry i do not know what parameters best for the compute units.
-
@CoinBuster, interested in what distro you are using and plotter you used?
Thanks
-
@vadirthedark I am using ubuntu 14.04 and GPU plot generator v4.0.3 (Win/Linux)
-
@CoinBuster Thanks for the info. I am using Ubuntu 16.04. Could you tell me what Nvidia driver you are using?
Thanks
-
@vadirthedark You have to download the right pack from Nvidia for your specific GPU. https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads
Depends on the drivers you want to install, some of them support 16.04. The driver I have downloaded do support 16.04. I installed pyopencl on my system.
-
@CoinBuster, Would you tell me the advantages you see for installing pyopencl?
My GPU (GEforce 750TI) has similar specs. as your GPU. Did you install any additional
repos. (i.e- Cuda, etc.) as help for plotting/mining?
I am interested in system details for Linux based setups (successful and not). I did succeed onces
with a very slow setup which took 5 days to plot only to stop when it hit what seems to the 5TB
drive capacity which was derived from inaccurate input.
Thanks again for any help you can give.
