XPlotter for optimized plots (CPU)
-
@Blago Ok. I believe I used Version 0.6 so that might be a reason why. I might give plotting another go this weekend.
-
Last night I plotted a 200GB file with Xplotter V0.7. This morning I woke up, it was done 20029 seconds to complete.
5.5 hours to plot and optimize is slower than the old system, at least for me and the computer I'm using.
Turned on the miner with just this one file:
I still don't think all the bugs are out.
-
@rds can you send to me your log-file?
But replace your secret phrase (password) by some symbols before sending.it's my plot generated by v0.7
also I'm just finished first test v0.8, file with the same size (1.8Tb, 7630128 nonces)
v0.7 - 115671 seconds - 32 hrs 8 min (avg ~3958 nonces/min)
v0.8 - 91026 seconds - 25 hrs 17 min (avg ~5029 nonces/min) but required admin rights
-
@Blago I have some Tb replotting with v0.7 right now. I'll hook you up with the log files when finished. It'll be a while though, the plots are rather large.
Probably shouldn't have fully committed so soon lol
-
@Blago So sorry, my bad. I had downloaded v7 but did not load it into the directory my bat file was pointing to so that file shown above was made with v6.
I'm glad to see that. I'm going to plot another 200GB file right now with V7 and get back with the results.
-
I just finished plotting a 200GB file using V7. Good news and bad news.
Good news, the file is intact and produces good DLs.
The bad news, it took 6 hours and 3 minutes to finish.
To me, that is not so good. IIRC, I can plot a 200GB file in 2 hours, while, at the same time, optimizing a 200GB file at 2 hours or maybe less. So the old system is at least 3 times faster. I will do an actual test tomorrow (too late tonight) and report the times.
-
@rds I think this system is better for big plots because the beggining is slow but then it creates faster as many stated before... So in small plots it may take more...
-
I just did a back to back test. I xplotted (v7) a 50GB file. It took 78 minutes. Then I plotted (v6) a 50GB unoptimized file and simultaneously optimized another 50GB file in 70 minutes. So the old system appears to be only 10% faster on smaller files. I plot all my drives in 200GB chunks. I don;t have any open space right now for a 200GB file but I will be getting a new drive in the next day or so. I will do the same back to back test for a 200GB file and report the results.
Edit: Sorry for the confusion, v6 above is really the wplotgenerator.
-
@rds a little confused on what it is you're exactly trying to say... v0.6 was suppose to yield optimized plots too
-
@k.coins he is talking about wplotgenerator...
-
@gpedro ah ok, my bad! I understand now @rds . I'm still fighting to get 12 Tb plotted with xplotter. Had a machine shut down on me last night. The struggle is real!
-
@k.coins, I do 200GB as a happy medium between 1 file per drive and too many files per drive. If something goes wrong in the middle of a file I only have to redo 200GB instead of 12TB.
-
@k.coins I thunk that V0.7 works a lot more. I picked up a lot of DLs with a 500GB plot

@rds #BigPlots

my question is how do I increase the amount of RAM this plotter uses cause its only using 50% of my free RAM and whats up with the slow speed? with the regular plotter i get about ~9500 nounces a min with xplotter I only get 1800/min thats a HUGE step down
-
@socal I would also like to utilize more RAM with xplotter. Although plotting with this no longer bogs down my machine
-
@k.coins on the command line add -mem <x>g eg: -mem 8g - however I believe you can't assign more than 50% of your RAM
-
XPlotter v1.0
If Xplotter run as Admin (administrator rights) - it's create empty (zero'd) plot much faster
You can turn off Xplotter at any time, and later may continue plotting (works only at NTFS)
-
I made a new win client release with XPlotter v1.0 included.
By default it does not run in admin mode - but still works.https://github.com/dawallet/burstwindowswallet/releases/tag/0.3.8-rc5
edit: You can run the win client in admin mode by right click on the desktop symbol. That should propagate to the XPlotter.

@daWallet w/o admins rights speed the same as in v0.7
