80TB Plotting and Optimise more efficient way?
-
@haitch I read about it thinking that even today I should do it, imagine how much time I lost. Again, lots of conflicting information for lack of documentation. If you improve the tool and not publish it correctly generates what we see in the forums. Tons of misunderstood. Communication between the developer and user is as important as the tool itself in my opinion.

@Rodrigogmail The conflicting information you find on the forums is, I think, most likely due to technically ignorant rookie users.
There is the AIO, it works.And then the exact thing you just did;
"TIP
On Device Manger/disk drives/ disk properties/policies/removal policy
change to Better performance"Without giving technical background on what this does exactly AND why this benefits (which) scenario, you have a pile of tips that is, in the end, useless and counter-productive.

@Rodrigogmail said in 80TB Plotting and Optimise more efficient way?:
...Reminding developers that user does not calculate or should know how much memory he has in kilobyte has on the computer is something repetitive.
Who does it is the software, the information is already there. Make an application that the user needs to deal with dozens of parameters and variables, where the software itself can recognise and manage it, something is wrong with the project, come back and do it right. User only consumes.
...
GPU plot almost hit, unfortunately the parameters do not work.
Very good start my dog can do ... 0 0 3 9 Q ready!
Then the disaster of having to play with guessing numbers and see what works ... implement a micro benchmark and you're done!
...
Lets see if this plot work 8Tb by 20K nonces/min in 30 hours...The software does not know about the specific goal this user has.
Can the plotter take ALL cores and ALL of available memory ? And even if you build two buttons (be nice or rock it hard) then there is this gem:

Complaints that plotting takes too long. It is the core concept of this coin that the hard work is in plotting and not mining the plots. When users are not willing to read about the basic concept then nobody can help them.
Posted it before somehwere else, still applies:
The AIO works, use it.
If you want to streamline your setup you will have to invest some effort and learn about your setup and how it can be improved. No Software can do that for you, as there are way too many different goal sets and technical considerations.tldr;
You want to be with the hip tech-savvy guys and plot with GPU ?
Then don't complain you don't know shit about your system.(a little rough, maybe)
