Stuck at 60% with GPU plotter

@haitch said:
335,600 nonces, the second plot should start at 335,600
Shouldn't the next plot start at 335,601 in order to not overlap?
-
No, because nonce number starts at 0.
So last nonce of 335600 nonces is 335599. But you can leave unused spaces, so no big deal to start next nonces at 400000 makes it more easy :-)

@luxe I see your point, thanks for clearing that up! :)

Hello guys, i get this error [ ERROR][-36][CL_INVALID_COMMAND_QUEUE] Error in step2 kernel finish
i and pretty sure it because i don't get this part in the readme.
Modify the [PLATFORM] variable to one of [32] or [64] depending on the target platform.
Modify the [OPENCL_INCLUDE] and [OPENCL_LIB] variables of the Makefile to the correct path.
Example:OPENCL_INCLUDE = c:\AMDAPPSDK-2.9-1\include OPENCL_LIB = c:\AMDAPPSDK-2.9-1\lib\x86_64Run the following commands :
cd <this directory> make distThe [dist] folder contains all the necessary files to launch the GPU plotter.
I have Downloaded and installed msys/mingw. Same with OpenCL.
however i use Nvidia and not AMD, shouldn't i use some CUDA for that instead of OCL ?
I just don't understand where to find and modify [PLATFORM] , [OPENCL_INCLUDE] and [OPENCL_LIB]
and the [dist] folder is it something i can make in CMD when i have this files all setup?
/confused ;(

The software uses OCL, nvidea implemented it on the top of CUDA i think, so you are kinda using CUDA. However, heard AMD performs better with OCL.
I just read the docs, and i think you have to modify this file:
https://github.com/bhamon/gpuPlotGenerator/blob/master/Makefile
All named variables are in there.Never compiled it myself, isn't it enough to download the binaries https://github.com/bhamon/gpuPlotGenerator/releases and nvidea driver from here
https://developer.nvidia.com/opencl ?!Or do you have a reason why you want to compile it yourself?
If you just want to use it, do not read the 'build instructions' ... read Setup+How to use.

@luxe @haitch hello, this hadware it s good to mining?? that´s good?
Processor,AMD A8-7650K (3.3 GHz) Black Socket FM2+ ( 10 Nucleos 4 CPU + 6 GPU) 64bit
1 x Motherboard Asus A68HM Plus
2 x Kingston 4GB DDR3 2400MHz HyperX Savage
windows 10 home edition 64bits pt
i want to start with this, its less money then Intel I7, this hardware it´s Good, please Help.
[http://www.globaldata.pt/computadores/desktop/global-gamer-lvl1-powered-by-asus.html](link url)
With this hardware i can Plot 5 western external disk´s 5TB each one at the same time?
-
@burstcoinPT I've never tried with the AMD integrated GPU, but based on the performance of their AIB cards, I'd expect reasonable performance. I'd suggest more RAM if possible for the plotting phase (not needed for mining). But yes, you could plot all the drives simultaneously with that setup - but you'll need to be careful and test different memory parameters for the memory allocated during plotting. You need to allow less than 1GB per plotting thread to avoid swapping and major problems.

ok, sow this hardware it´s good for mining, but with more RAm it´s better to plot the Hard disk, that´s it?? @luxe @haitch
-
@burstcoinPT Yep, the better hardware you have while plotting the better time you'll have plotting. For mining, it's not so important.

thank you very mutch for your help,... thank´s...
if i need help to plot all drives at the same time can i resquest help here ?? i continue without understand the lines of "nonces"
-
anybody here speak portuguese to translate how i can make multiple ploting external disk´s at same time , i have try to translate in google, but very words dont are translated... :(
-
@burstcoinPT Not a Portuguese speaker sorry, but using the GPU plotter to do multiple files at once, you just specify multiple targets on the command line. From one of my plotting files, here is an example:
gpuplotgenerator generate direct d:\4401562696129194441_695262976_2097152_8192 e:\4401562696129194441_697360128_2097152_8192 f:\4401562696129194441_699457280_2097152_8192
You can add additional files as desired. But with just 8GB of RAM, change that last numer 8192 to 4096 or lower - if 4096 doesn't work thry 2048 then 1024.

-
ok, GPU ( incorporated in my processador AMD) it´s good?
I upgrade my ram to 16GB it´s better?
gpuplotgenerator ###### i have to download this software and install in the my principal DISK DRIVE ( "C:/")?
-
@burstcoinPT
a) The more memory you have the better.
b) I've never used the AMD integrated GPU so don't know how good it is.
c) You can install the plotter anywhere - you tell it via the CLI where to put the plots.H.

my ideia is, ONE computer in my house, and another in my father house, both with external hardisks, mining burst coin, to the same burst wallet, can i do this??
-
@burstcoinPT Yep, just make sure the plots don't overlap. Start the the plots at one location at the 0 nonce, the other location at say the 100,000,000 nonce mark. Each nonce is unique, but if you have overlapping ranges, then the space is wasted on one of your plots.
H.
-
then it is best to make all the plots on one computer first, and then then divide them by two computers? for example, if I make a portion at a time through the burst windows client they will overlap when you another installment on the next disc, or as it is all done on the same computer will be a follow-up in the process of the plots?
-
@luxe I have read up and watched riskys video several times, but i keep getting the same error over and over again, but i can't find anywhere what it is or how to solve it !
And no im not trying to compile it myself, i just thought you had to go there to change your platform for windows and to change that you are using winx64, but i see now you make the setup in the .bet file ( gpuPlotGenerator setup) i see now that you shouldn't have to do that, but the error i get every time is " [ERROR][-36][CL_INVALID_COMMAND_QUEUE] Error in step2 kernel finish "
-
@Krypton
Did you install openCL for you nvidea?! https://developer.nvidia.com/opencl
It is not included in the normal GPU drivers!
If you did, i fear i can not help you there.
-
@luxe Yes i have, but i will try to do this on another computer and with different card
( GTX 660 Ti ).about OpenCL and nvidias site they say
"OpenCL support is included in the latest NVIDIA GPU drivers, available at www.nvidia.com/drivers"
however do you mean any specific download on your link ? Like the OpenCL Multi Threads ?Regarding the Error i get i read some troubleshooting where it said
" - For NVidia owners: OpenCL implementation is under-efficient on some NVidia cards. Try to tweak your device parameters. If there is no significant improvements, you'll need a CUDA version of this program. "
i don't know if that is really the problem since it's in the tweaking trubleshooting
but i have now tried to get a hold of that CUDA version.and about the stagger it's the size of the CPU-Ram you want to use when plotting ? and not the VRAM ? right?
Regards
