GPU plot generator v4.1.1 (Win/Linux)

[luxe]

no sry, not heard of a cuda version yet, openCL support is build on cuda i guess.

@luxe Re: "The bottleneck will be your hdd write speed, not the gpu ... but you can plot to multiple drives at once.R9 280x is like ~90000 nonce per minute". With the multiple drives option are the drives plotted in series or in parallel?

[haitch]

@iKnow0 They're plotted in parallel.

can i even plot with my gtx 980ti? ive tried it so many times now lol

[newsense2004]

@KeenHero 980ti is still a decent card, why wouldn't you be able to plot with it?

[LithStud]

I use my R9 270x for ploting so your 980ti should be golden :P

idont know i get error -5 everytime cant load kernel

[KeenHero]

[ERROR][-5][CL_OUT_OF_RESOURCES] Error in step2 kernel launch

@KeenHero Try lowering the last number in your devices.txt file.

[KeenHero]

recomended settings are "1 0 6144 768 8192" is this correct for the 980ti?

[Dario's wallet]

@KeenHero If they are the values setted by the GPUplotter setup yes, of course they are the recommended settings, but your gpu seems to run out of resources (maybe because it has to compute all your os and other programs graphics): a solution could be lowering the hashesNumber (the last number, values must be between 1 and 8192, higher number=better performaces, check the readme file)...

@vadirthedark I suggest you to write here to get more effective help about your GPU plotter issue ;)

ccminer,
I tried the 'gpuPlotGenerator-bin-linux-x64-4.0.3' first, without success. Have done the first 4 steps listed below:

Install the build-essential
g++ packets
Install OpenCL (available in the manufacturer SDKs)
install the opencl headers ([apt-get install opencl-headers] on Ubuntu)

The reminder is where I am in trouble. I do not understand this:

Modify the [PLATFORM] variable to one of [32] or [64] depending on the target platform. Modify the [OPENCL_INCLUDE] and [OPENCL_LIB] variables of the Makefile to the correct path. Example:

OPENCL_INCLUDE = /opt/AMDAPPSDK-2.9-1/include
OPENCL_LIB = /opt/AMDAPPSDK-2.9-1/lib/x86_64

Are the 'platform variables' listed and in which file should I look? Same question for 'OPenCL_...'.
Thanks for any information you can give.

[ccminer]

I hope that @luxe xould help @vadirthedark with this issue that interest me as well :)

[vadirthedark]

Okay - from Readme file,

"Modify the [PLATFORM] variable to one of [32] or [64] depending on the target platform. Modify the [OPENCL_INCLUDE] and [OPENCL_LIB] variables of the Makefile to the correct path."

"OPENCL_INCLUDE = /opt/AMDAPPSDK-2.9-1/include"
"OPENCL_LIB = /opt/AMDAPPSDK-2.9-1/lib/x86_64"

I constructed a 'Makefile' from: https://github.com/bhamon/gpuPlotGenerator/blob/master/Makefile
and made modifications as listed above. While looking at the OPENCL_ variables I went to 'opt' to see if 'AMDAPPSDK..' existed, it does not - looked in Package Manager in Ubuntu to see if packet is listed, it is not. I will try to install AMDAPPSDK... in /opt.

First ? - Is it ok to use the 'Makefile'?
Second ? - Is the /opt the one in root? Not sure how to set this up to get correct path from 'OPENCL_'.

Thanks for any help available.

@vadirthedark Try to open an issue to github, the author of the script reply, at least he replied to me

[luxe]

Sry, i just used the win build ... never tried to compile on linux.

Hi, the gpu plotter gives me problems in direct mode at crashes 0.70 or 0.80%, in buffer mode do not. but slow more than it is. because it happens?

[vadirthedark]

Have found a script to assist 'gpuPlotGenerator' on github (gp-assistant-cli.sh). When I run the script I get:

df: ‘/media/imbota/burst’: No such file or directory
./gp-assistant-cli.sh: line 72: [: -gt: unary operator expected
ERROR, you don't have sufficient space left in your system.

The first line indicates the script is looking for a file or dir. I have set to plot to 1 plot for entire 5TB drive (burst). Can someone explain my mistake and how to set plotting for entire drive?

Thanks

@vadirthedark I finally got my new r9 380 4gb and I installed it!
So now I start to face your same problem to GPU plotting my hdd.
did you finally have been able to use the script on ubuntu?
