It is working!! Here is one of the last lines:

0.02% (3584/19700000 remaining nonces), 926.90 nonces/minutes, ETA: 2w 0d 18h 9m

How do these #'s compare? Do you know if adjustments can be made while plotting is going on?
Thanks for all your help - could not have made it without your expert help!

ccminer

@vadirthedark
I don't think you can adjust while plotting! But you can mine during plotting!
You are welcome!!
Other folks helped me a lot and I'm gald I could do the same for you ;)

@luxe I set up the plotter on Linux. I have started plotting at ~14,000 nonces per minute. I have 2 Tesla m2050. my parameters are 0_200000_20000. This is the device ID :

Id: 0
Type: GPU
Name: Tesla M2050
Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
Version: OpenCL 1.1 CUDA
Driver version: 367.57
Max clock frequency: 1147MHz
Max compute units: 14
Global memory size: 2GB 574MB 192KB
Max memory allocation size: 655MB 560KB
Max work group size: 1024
Local memory size: 48KB
Max work-item sizes: (1024, 1024, 64)

I set up the device.txt as follows : 0 0 2048 256 8192

Do you know which parameters to use to increase plotting speeds ?

luxe

@CoinBuster If drive write speed is the bottleneck, you could try to plot multiple drives at once. But sry i do not know what parameters best for the compute units.

vadirthedark

@CoinBuster, interested in what distro you are using and plotter you used?
Thanks

CoinBuster

@vadirthedark I am using ubuntu 14.04 and GPU plot generator v4.0.3 (Win/Linux)

vadirthedark

@CoinBuster Thanks for the info. I am using Ubuntu 16.04. Could you tell me what Nvidia driver you are using?
Thanks

CoinBuster

@vadirthedark You have to download the right pack from Nvidia for your specific GPU. https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads

Depends on the drivers you want to install, some of them support 16.04. The driver I have downloaded do support 16.04. I installed pyopencl on my system.

vadirthedark

@CoinBuster, Would you tell me the advantages you see for installing pyopencl?
My GPU (GEforce 750TI) has similar specs. as your GPU. Did you install any additional
repos. (i.e- Cuda, etc.) as help for plotting/mining?
I am interested in system details for Linux based setups (successful and not). I did succeed onces
with a very slow setup which took 5 days to plot only to stop when it hit what seems to the 5TB
drive capacity which was derived from inaccurate input.
Thanks again for any help you can give.

I get an error when trying to run the GPU plotting software.

@Tate-A Okay, Installed the latest Drivers and OpenCL. Now I get this.

@ccminer said in GPU plot generator v4.0.3 (Win/Linux):

@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?

Hello everyone. I decided to give this GPU plotting method a try. Once I got through the initial stages of prepping my system I recall there being a question of whether gpuPlotGenerator 4.0.3 supported CUDA or not. I ran the software not knowing either way but it just stopped.

Before I go ahead and troubleshoot can someone clarify this for me please?

Thanks!

Hi,

With what settings are we able to create a very optimized plots?
1 GPU and 16GB of ram

rds

Hi, just checking out this plotter as I found out my integrated GPU will work with the plotter/miners for Burst.

I ran the setup to configure the GPU and the recommended values were not powers of 2:

I put in the recommended values and the program appeared to store different values, specifically the 19 was stored as a 8:

Is this normal?

rds

@rds,

bump,

anyone?

@haitch, @daWallet, @luxe, @ccminer ?

haitch

@rds Not seen that before - I'd manually set it to a power of two - either down to 4096 or up to 8192

luxe

@rds This setup is just creating the devices.txt i guess ... you can always edit that by hand, too. But i can not tell you why the 19 was not saved but 8 instead (seams to be a cpu? very low work group size) ... if this is important to you, you could try contact dev via github.

Hey guys,

Has anyone else had an issue with gpuPlotGenerator where in buffer mode it will start by using pretty much 100% of my GPU (which is what I want) at around 30k-50k nonces/minute and then it drops to around 12k nonces/minute. Sometimes it will stay at the higher amount and I can get 1TB plotted in an hour or less. Other times it drops down and only utilizes my gpu around 17%. It's weird that this doesn't happen all the time and I was wondering if anyone else had this problem.

Also I have a MSI Gaming X RX 480 8GB GPU.

My devices txt is:
0 0 8096 64 8192

My Batch file looks like this:
gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate buffer j:\Burst\plots\3817333640460646654_1026441216_4091904_36864

As you can see there are a couple spikes here and there, but it is barely using my GPU.

The only gain I have managed to get so far is running gpuPlotgenerator as admin and I seemed to get a gain 23%-27% percent utilization of my gpu and and 18k-20k nonces/minute.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
