Tool for checking if plots are optimized
-
@haitch How could I optimize a plot if I do not have enough space on my mining hard drive or computer hard drive to do it?
-
@mathew If you don't have the space available, you can't optimize it. Best option is to use the gpu plotter in direct mode so that the plot is created optimized.

under the devices.txt what do I put if I have a nividia geforce 750TI card?
-
@mathew Take a look here for the plotter : https://forums.burst-team.us/topic/58/gpu-plot-generator-v4-0-3-win-linux/2
To get the correct device number run "gpuplotgenerator setup", then select option 1 to list devices in your system You'll get something like:
[0] AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing (OpenCL 2.0 AMD-APP (1912.5))
[0] Tahiti (OpenCL 1.2 AMD-APP (1912.5))
[1] Tahiti (OpenCL 1.2 AMD-APP (1912.5))
[2] Tahiti (OpenCL 1.2 AMD-APP (1912.5))
[3] AMD FX(tm)-4130 Quad-Core Processor (OpenCL 1.2 AMD-APP (1912.5))The "[0] AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing (OpenCL 2.0 AMD-APP (1912.5))" is your platformId - in this case 0. The devices below are the devices on that platform. Pick the number that corresponds to your video card and that's the DeviceID.

@haitch it is stating that I am running out of resources while in step 2 kernel launch. Not sure how to fix it.
-
@mathew In devices.txt change "0 0 4096 256 8192" to "0 0 2048 256 8192" and try again.
-
@haitch said:
now unable to create opencl gpu buffer
-
@mathew okay, put the 2048 back to 4096, and try reducing the last number of your plot name from 10240 down to 4096.
-
@haitch Getting the same error.
-
@mathew What the output of gpuplotgenerator setup, option 1 and option 2 ?
-
@haitch not sure what you mean. If this is what I think you mean.
-
@Mathew : From the above screenshots you are using your intel HD graphics for generating the plot, which does not have sufficient memory
I guess you need to change the line in devices.txt to
1 0 4096 256 8192
If the above does not work, you can try the below
1 0 2048 256 8192
Run plot generator
If this doesn't work too reduce the 2048 further to 1024 and then to 512 and try again
If nothing works paste the output of below command here
gpuPlotGenerator listPlatforms

@mathew - yep, exactly what tpriyan said - the devices.txt needs to be updated to reflect you actual card.
-
@tpriyan @haitch Tried all of that and my driver then says it has stopped responding buy has recovered.
-
-
@tpriyan Works thanks for your help!
-
@tpriyan new problem now, it stays at 2048/11448320 remaining nounces for about a half an hour now.

EDIT - Deleted to make thread clean

@mathew Are you plotting in direct of buffered mode? If direct then that is normal, nothing will happen for potentially a couple of hours - depending on the size of your plot.
