XPlotter for optimized plots (CPU)
-
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

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
-
@Blago , how about if you specify a file size, no better than v0.7? Also, how would you do that if you were starting the program from a bat file command? Thanks,
-
@Blago This is great! I'm plotting 2TB with it now, I'll let you know how it goes in a day or two.
-
@rds I'd tested bat file (runing as Admin) - works fine
@setlocal @cd /d %~dp0 XPlotter_avx.exe -id 17930413153828766298 -sn 601000000 -n 1000000 -t 6 -path H:\plots -mem 6G XPlotter_avx.exe -id 17930413153828766298 -sn 602000000 -n 1000000 -t 6 -path H:\plots -mem 6G @pausetime generating first plot - 3 hrs 17 min
time generating second plot - 3 hrs 24 min
(miner was running)
-
@zyzzyva 2Tb = 25 hrs for me (5120 nonces/min)
-
@Blago Unfortunately I have to plot this drive on my work computer, so I'm only using 2 threads and getting about 2800 nonces/min. Hoping for < 48 hours!
-
@Blago, never sawthe @ signs in the cmd window. Is that what make it administrator? What command in the bat file tells the computer to go admin? Thanks.
-
@rds The @ signs in the bat file just prevent those commands showing on the screen. To run the bat as administrator, in Explorer, or on a shortcut, right click and select "Run as Administrator"
