XPlotter for optimized plots (CPU)

@Blago said in XPlotter for optimized plots (CPU):
@nixxda plotschecker can't help for optimized plots.
Just run again bat@setlocal @cd /d %~dp0 XPlotter_avx.exe -id 107189002634585473 -sn 830522688 -n 15260960 -t 6 -path D:\plots -mem 20G @pauseand plotter will check and continue writing. (each plot, created by XPloter 1.0 contain info - how much physically written nonces)
turns out my PC crashed at 12%! (I had many many other things running!-)
But restarting the plotter worked like a charm! about 13h later the whole disk was plotted.I'm still a bit suspicious however!-) File size was allocated at the beginning but are there really all the nonces in there?! Is there no way to check except winning Blocks with it?!
-
@nixxda maybe plot checker? I look at it this way if the file is to cover whole hdd then it would show no free space. So something has to be there. Plus its a file not a partition so some data must be there if it taking up space.
-
@tross
does not work unfortunately!-) Only thing right now is confirming that Xplotter has properly finished I'd say!
And some trust in Blagos code!-) And in your own abilities of course!!-) (?)PlotsChecker only checks filename and something and since the file size is created/allocated at the beginning it always stays the same.
Blago outsmarted himself! hihi! damn that thing is fast!

@nixxda
if you run XPlotter again and will see something like:

= plot is complete
- Plots checker did not help for check optimized plots

if plot not complete - it contain garbage (deleted files)
-
@Blago what is this "Failed WriteFile (code = 21)" I'm getting?
Happens again shortly after rerunning xplotter after the initial fail

@nixxda
if you run XPlotter again and wiil see somthing like:

= plot is complete
- Plots checker did not help for check optimized plots
thanks Blago! wanted to try that but did not have the guts to try it on an 4TB file!-)

@k.coins plotter can't write to drive.
ERROR_NOT_READY
code 21 - The device is not ready.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms681382(v=vs.85).aspxcheck your drive for hardware errors (chkdsk) / bad sectors
drive is USB? OS lost your drive - power down or sleeping

a very rough comparison:
with gpuplotter GTX970@~30000nonces/min,
I do ~3TB/24h direct/optimized (incl. everything)with Xplotter i7-6700k@~11000nonces/min (using 6"cores")
I do ~4TB/24h optimized an everything!now calculate overall Efficiency!!
ps. the numbers are a very rough remember-gestimate! but I'm going to confirm that! once I have some free disk space again...........
-
@Blago thanks. I restarted and xplotter kept going this time. So now, restarting back at 85% shouldn't effect the plot quality?

all be fine, plotter keeps how much nonces already written directly to the drive

Hi folks I'm plotting 4tb right now and explotter is giving my this error... Someone has seen this befor? Or can tell me what is it?
-
@Focus 8)
44 threads, 200 Rb RAM = 50600 nonces/min = 4Tb by ~5 hrs
it's speed of 10 CPU FX-6300
-
@Amoulier Your drive is NTFS? can you post screenshot after start XPlotter?
Your plot will fine, but you can't use "continue writing after interrupt XPlotter"ERROR_DISK_FULL
Error 112 - There is not enough space on the disk.

44 threads, 200 Rb RAM = 50600 nonces/min = 4Tb by ~5 hrs
it's speed of 10 CPU FX-6300I leave it at 200GB ram cause when I used to try 250GB with wplotgenerator it would crash

@Blago ok I know what is the error.... I'm running xplotter on my mac true wine, the think is that running it that way, create two files, the plot and another file called like the plot but ending in "/stream", normally I erase that file after the plot is done, and that error don't show up, but this time I erase it as soon has explotter create it! here a example of what I'm talking.
I hope the electric service do not get interrupted till I end this plot or I will have to start from 0 again... because my macbook pro have battery, but the hdd dock is connected directly to the wall... Me and my greats ideas!
-
@Amoulier I didn't expect that XPlotter can run on Mac.
XPlotter keep parameter "how much nonces written" inside plot. Windows uses streams for it.
blahblah/stream always will 8 bytes
-
@Blago me neither I just kept experimenting with wine and managed to make it works... Actually I made a tutorial on this forum on how to make it... Xplotter for Optimized Plots (cpu) on MacOS

@Focus WTF!
Nice! :)
