GPU plot generator v4.1.1 (Win/Linux)



  • @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_5000

    The 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:

    The WGS is the size you are using for 5TB drive. Think I should reduce WGS - any ideas?



  • @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 ?


  • admin

    @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.



  • I get an error when trying to run the GPU plotting software.

    Anyone know what file the error is referring to?

  • @ccminer said in GPU plot generator v4.0.3 (Win/Linux):

    @vadirthedark I finally got my new r9 380 4gb and I installed it!
    So now I start to face your same problem to GPU plotting my hdd.
    did you finally have been able to use the script on ubuntu?

    Hello everyone. I decided to give this GPU plotting method a try. Once I got through the initial stages of prepping my system I recall there being a question of whether gpuPlotGenerator 4.0.3 supported CUDA or not. I ran the software not knowing either way but it just stopped.

    Before I go ahead and troubleshoot can someone clarify this for me please?

    Thanks!



  • Hi,

    With what settings are we able to create a very optimized plots?
    1 GPU and 16GB of ram
