Ploting with two NVIDIA Quadros M6000 using Direct mode.

@Dario's-wallet said in I'm having trouble with GPU Plotting using Direct mode.:
@Wolf 65536 it's the memory space measured in number of nonces: 65536*256KB(size of one nonce)=16GB
In my post I mean set the 2nd number at 65536 WHILE you set the 3rd at 65536/2=32768 ( a lot of parallel threads), then increase the last number starting from 600 (typically 600 is a low value)...Dario, what do you suggest on a system that has a RX480 and 256GB of ram ?
-
@Focus Hi mate, I'm so sorry for late reply :(, when I wrote my last post was 3 am and I fell asleep...
However for me is better always start with default values, then tweak. Every system can be a bit different. A good value for global work size could be 32768 (8GB RX480 version, without screen output). For the last two values is more difficult to say... Maybe a solution could be set the hash number at a middle-high value (like ~5000), find the higher local work size that works, and then increase the last number...
However a card like the RX480 I think can top every hdds write speed: if you have to plot more than one hard drive (@AdamGuerbuez system?:)), I suggest you to parallelize plotting (two drives at same time, maybe more, you have to try...)
-
@Dario's-wallet with that said.. Do you know a good stagger size for a 10TB Harddrive? Because every time that I increase the global work size(the third number in the device.txt file) for some reason I have to decrease the stagger size.

pause"Updated"
I'm unable to go with this configuration0 0 65536 32768 600
0 1 65536 32768 600Here is the error for this configuration. Even if I divide it by 2 all the way till the third number is 4096...

@Wolf No probs for the stagger, 105472 is ok, in direct mode the output file will be 3225037558013223906_0_38075392_38075392
About the devices configurations...mmm...maybe try lowering the local work size number increasing the hashes per call (6200 is just an example, maybe also try with 8192):
0 0 65536 32768 6200
0 0 65536 16384 6200
0 0 65536 8192 6200
And so on...

I just set it to...
0 0 65536 2048 8192
0 0 65536 2048 8192I get this error
[ERROR][-54][CL_INVALID_WORK_GROUP_SIZE] Error in step1 kernel launch
-
@Wolf 1024, 512, 256,...?
-
@Dario's-wallet If i set the last number to 8192 it throws me an error
Even if i set the configuration to thisexample..
0 0 1024 128 8192
0 1 1024 128 8192This is the error for this configuration.
[ERROR][-5][CL_OUT_OF_RESOURCES] Error in synchronous readThe highest that I can configure the last number with no problems is 7168. But I have to leave the third number to 1024
example..
0 0 1024 128 7168
0 1 1024 128 7168But if I leave the last number to 7168 and go up on the third number to 2048 it throws me a another error.
example..
0 0 2048 128 7168
0 1 2048 128 7168This is the error for this configuration.

@Dario's-wallet
btw.. The highest I can configure the third number with no problems is 4096. But I have to leave the last number to 1024
example..
0 0 4096 128 1024
0 1 4096 128 1024But with this configuration I lose 20000 nonces/minutes,.
-
@Wolf Uhm... Interesting... Seems you cannot use your entire GPU memory... Seems there's an inviolable line for this card memory in burstcoin plotting. However to figure out what's your fast configuration don't trust direct mode nonce/minute values, they're funky. Use buffer mode for that.

Do you have a rx480? If so what's the nonces/minutes? Also do you think its faster to plot first and optimize after?
-
@Wolf Don't know about a 480, but a 470 can do about 24,000 in buffered mode.
I've done all my plots in direct mode.
-
Rx 480 can do 31k nonces per minute in direct. :) I think that's the bottleneck of our HDD's USB 3.0
-
well if that card can do 31k nonces a min that means it can write about 7.7gb a min or about 130MB a sec which dont seem right
math supporting my claim:
nonce = 256KB each
256kbX31,000= 7,936,000
7,936,000KB / 1024KB = 7,750KB = 7.75GB
7.75GB / 60sec = 129.1666666666667MB a sec

@jervis What is your Device config for your Rx 480? I also Got a Rx 480! Is your Rx 480 a 4GB or 8GB?
Thanks,

-
@CesBurst1782 I don't really know what the device config text is. It's in a location I can't reach on foot and my friend is not telling me what he has done with the config. He just says he did something with it.
anyways, this is what he did just moments ago, 33k nonces/minute.
-
@jervis Its in gpuPlotGenerator folder, a file named devices.txt. Open it and share the line(s) in it.
Is it just me or the 2 pictures for two different plots?
-
@rnahlawi As i said, the plotting computer can't be reached on foot. :) it's in a different location. our Miners are located in different locations so that down times are very minimal. :) the picture above was already done. This latest picture is what's plotting right now.
-
@jervis Foot? Miners? what about remote access? obviously you're not aware of what's going on with your Hardware ..
Never mind dude xD
-
@rnahlawi man, please. All i want to say is I have no control over the plotting of our hard drives. It's off site. I can't plot it in my place. The person plotting is not giving me access to his PC. if i can access it, I would have already told you without all the drama. It's too freaking simple to get the device config if i can have access. even a chimp can do it (i think). Foot? I can't get there on foot. We talk on chat all the time. That's why i know what is going on in the plotting. He's sending me screenshots. Do i have to explain everything? It's too simple to understand. Anyways, relax man, drink your morning coffee first. :)
