GPU plot generator v4.1.1 (Win/Linux)
-
@ccminer
Used nano to get Makefile and revised OPENCL_. However, when I ran make dist, got error. Seems make requires an options function (make [options] [target] ). Author left out this information.
Any ideas" Thanks

Finally I have been able to use the gpu plotter on my ubuntu 16.10 desktop computer.
Later I'll write a post about my experience and how to do step by step in order to use help other linux/ubuntu users like us!
with my card I can plot 5 tb in like 24 hours with a stagger sixe of 20 gb, I can't complain.
About what you wrote you can edit the makefile just by opening it with gedit, no need to use the nano function from terminal, but also no need to compile the scrypt because the author issued already compiled version.

@ccminer Thanks, i followed the discussion on github ... https://github.com/bhamon/gpuPlotGenerator/issues/14
-
@luxe eheheh
what is the username of the developer here? I want to follw him.
As I said as soon as I get some extra time I'll write a post about my experience to guide step by step the gpu plotter configuration for ubuntu users like me.

Guess he is not registered here ... on the old forum his name was @cryo.

@ccminer, Will look at 'gedit'. On the subject of 'Makefile', how did you create it? From what I can tell, it is created manually or by combining several existing programs? Wouldn't each computer have an individual Makefile because of its own components and names for files/dir? How would you use an existing compiled script? Thanks again for your help.
-
@vadirthedark I downloaded the makefile from github here : https://github.com/bhamon/gpuPlotGenerator
But you do not need to compile it yoursef because you should have an already compiled file.
-
@ccminer I did use that 'Makefile' and revised it to show path to be:
PLATFORM = 64
OPENCL_INCLUDE = /home/imbota/AMDAPPSDK-3.0/include
OPENCL_LIB = /home/imbota/AMDAPPSDK-3.0/lib/x86_64I presume you are talking about the 'gpuPlotGenerator' as the 'already compiled file.' from above? When I used './gpuPlot...' I get this error:
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-version.c: 224: _dl_check_map_versions: Assertion `needed != NULL' failed!
Have you seen this and can you help?
-
@ccminer Some success! No errors
I went back to the github discussion and did as you did - downgraded AMDAPPSDK-3.0 TO -2.9.1 - and was able to find platform and device id's. Now I am at figuring the info to plug into devices.txt.
Thanks for all your help!!
-
@ccminer Sorry about all the replies, I seem to be behind 1 or 2 steps.
In this discussion: https://github.com/bhamon/gpuPlotGenerator/issues/14 did you go back to AMDAPPSDK 3.0? If so, did you make any more changes to your system?
Thanks
-
@vadirthedark You need to install both the APPSDK 3.0 and the GPUpro (according to your card model)
-
@ccminer , Thanks, I will work on that.
-
@vadirthedark what version of ununtu are you on?
-
-
16.04, If I have problems I will update to 16.10.
-
@vadirthedark read my "tutorial"
16.04 is ok, you don't need to update
-
@ccminer Update, I had an error with AMD....3.0 so I reinstalled AMD.....2.91 and seems to be working fine. Was able to see Platforms and Devices #'s and then I ran ./gup... setup to get these numbers in devices.txt:
0_0_0_20971520_8192
6510305595672859587_0_15991_8192I have a 5TB drive and intend to plot entire drive with 1 plot. After I formated the drive the remainder was actually 4.7TB, is this the number to use to figure nonces?
Also, when you run the ./gpu.... generate in terminal will that start the plotting precess? Is there anything else I need to do?
Thanks for all your help
-
@ ccminer Sorry need to delete last post - wrong info and questions.
-
@vadirthedark So have you been able to plot or not I didn't understand
-
@ccminer I have not tried to plot. 1st paragraph is ok, except output to devices.txt ( #'s are wrong). The last 2 lines are ok, just need help with setting up my drive. Did you make 1 plot on your drive? Did you have any files on it for plotting?
Here is devices.txt:0_0_0_20971520_8192
_0_15990_8192How do they look for 16GB RAM, 4GB memory gpu, 5TB (4.7TB?) drive? Also the path indicated in the ./gpu.... generate-is that the path to your working files or path to drive?
Thanks again.
