Updates:
- prevent reading optimized plotfiles in too much parts, if no useful number can be calculated due chunkPartNonces setting.
Details:
A optimized plotfile is handled in multiple parts by jminer, the calculation of the number of parts could lead to very high number due not perfect algo (i have to think about). Very high number of parts causes a drive/miner to be slow as hell.
As quick fix i added a fallback that takes 8 parts if number of parts is bigger than 100.Edit: I run into the above issue after plotting with Xplotter auto all remaining space of a drive ... what leads to staggersize i never had before, so if someone had a slowed down jminer after plotting in the same way, check new version.
Just to be clear, there is no issue with Xplotter, it is just awesome.Good Stuff :)
I have 2 comments:
1- run.bat still calls old burstcoin-jminer-0.4.6-SNAPSHOT.jar file, needs to call 0.4.7
2- didn't work with Latest Nvidia drivers, I had to downgrade again :)
-
@rnahlawi did a previous jminer version work with latest nvidea drivers? thanks for the hint with the start.bat
-
@luxe No, after Nvidia's last update it didnt work
I had 0.4.5 btw
-
@rnahlawi Ok, thanks that was important info for me.

I have problem with jminer v0.4.7-SNAPSHOT
OS Windows 10 Pro
RAM 32GB
VRAM 424GB
Running 527238GB on AMD RX 480 8GB and i have usage 300-400GB VRAM sometime more than i set 424GB and jminer crash :( sometime random freeze :(
any solution for this??
Also you have ~3000MB/s on amd 280x but i have only ~1000MB/s on
amd RX 480 why??

-
@adams First info important for me, have you used 0.4.5 before without issues? (uses previous openCl lib)
For the RX 480, are you sure it is attached via PCIe 3.0 16 lanes? You can check with GPU-Z or something like that. I also run RX 480 with quite good results ... never using more than 8GB of system RAM ... https://forums.burst-team.us/topic/3479/sas-9305-24i-host-bus-adapter/14 (Using Radeon driver version 16.11.5 as i had some issues with newer ones)
About the VRAM, puhh sonds like a caching issue like known from Win7, any way to switch that off? As it is not needed anyway i guess. Can you give some info what exactly that VRAM hardware is?!
400GB+ ?! Is that kind of extension card or something?
-
@luxe
I use 0.4.5-release but same issue :(
RX 480 is attached via PCIe 3.0 x8 lanes if connect to x16 i should get 100% faster?? Use radeon driver 16.11.4
I have samsung ssd 950 pro m.2 512gb soo set 424GB VRAM xD
-
@adams Hmm 16 lanes will be a benefit ... but 8 lanes should not be that slow. I reached 3GB/s with 8 lanes (4GB/s+ with 16 lanes) , like you with 280x ... Keep your driver, do not update to next mayor version yet ... i had issues with that. If possible try to disable that VRAM, it has no use for burst-mining, as every round other data read anyway. Maybe you can setup to be just not used for that progress or something ... sure makes sense for other 'normal' computing stuff :-) Or turn it of completely for a test ... it is the only reason for your problem, i could think of right now ... if it caches everything ... you may end up at 1000MB/s as this is the write speed of that VRAM.
With your capacity (if attached at fast controllers) you could end up at 4500GB/s+ with 16lanes, so consider that if possible.

"sonds like a caching issue like known from Win7, any way to switch that off?"
i have this on windows 8.1 pro but update to 10 pro and have the same issue about ram usage
it caches everything How switch that off??
I have connected HDD via USB 3.0 and sata 3
-
@adams I'm quite sure it is not your Windows ... but that VRAM ... you setup that via software right? Just give it it try and disable/de-install that.
-
@luxe
when i disable vram i get error that no ram/data to finis operation :(
-
@adams k maybe restart required, i'm not used to that, i do not know what software you use for that etc. but as write speed of that vram is arround 1GB/s i guess, and your miner only makes that 1GB/s it is limiting the miner ... windows can run without, but i do not know how to help you removing/disabling that completely.
Sry, also have to go to sleep now ... sure you can figure out ... btw. this m2 have quite limited read/write cycles ... so it is in your own interest to not waste that for useless caching in the burst-mining case ...
-
@luxe
i set this on windows
i disable that and show you what i get error
soo If you help me tomorrow, I will be grateful :)
-
@adams ... maybe turn of pc and remove that m2 for testing :-) I will be back tomorrow, if you still need help on this issue ... cya
-
@adams did you manage to disable VRAM?
-
@luxe
Yes i disable vram and get this error "System resources are not sufficient to complete the service" https://s24.postimg.org/3wec43w2d/error.jpg
-
@adams i think luxe is right, remove the m2 from the pc, reboot and try again.
-
@adams Can hardly see anything, but your read speeds are still kind of low ... can not explain it. Nothing directly to do with it, but you have horrible low staggersize on some files, thats not good for your drives and also slows down mining ... but something to solve later on :-)
@iKnow0 I fear he also has his windows on that drive, so thats not easy possible. But i also think it is not completely turned of and/or VRAM software has still some kind of effect.

this error usually indicate the swap file is too small.
-
@iKnow0
Yes i will try tomorrow because i have OS on my m.2 drive :/
btw CPU miners works fine
