GPU plotting stuck
-
After leaving it for around 5 hours. the plot is zero byte and the plotter stayed with 0.75%.
-
@HiDevin any idea why it stuck there.
-
@natsaba the plot sometimes glitches out so right click it and hit properites to see how big the file is, or check task manager if its still writing to drive.
-
Why are you making it so complicated and frustrating ?
For test runs, please stick to buffer mode, use a small target size.
THEN you can see immediately if data is being generated and written to disk.
When you have found a working parameter set you may switch to direct mode.
The parameters you are looking for are- fields 3,4,5 of the devices.txt
- optimal stagger value (or, not too intrusive RAM usage)
Show your devices.txt, please.

@vaxman Thanks. i will try to plot smaller once today.
here is my devices.txt setting.0 0 1024 128 8192

There are "ROP 8/16" in GPUZ, you need to decrease the 4th parameter.
Try 64,32,16,8 to find the "sweet" spot with maximum output.If that does not produce a, say, 2 GB file succesfully, decrease the 5th parameter and try again for the 4th.

@vaxman I have tried to reduce the 4th and 5th parameters. I got it work for 20GB test plot at 4800N/minute. I got better speed with xplotter around 5000 N/Minute. So for now using xplotter to plot 1TB plot. Thanks for y
ou help.

I updated the GPU plot generator (v4.1.1). It now comes with file pre-allocation when launched with admin rights, which greatly speed things up in terms of IO operations for direct writing strategy.
-
@cryo thanks, i will try and share the results here
-
@cryo i couldn't find any read me or run.bat in gpuPlotGenerator-bin-win-x64-4.1.1.7z. How should i run and where i have to specify the plots and configs.
