Title: For mining on ubuntu,how can I limit the CPU load? Post by: supercanada1 on July 18, 2015, 11:58:30 PM Since the VPS limit the usage for the cpu, I have to limit the usage of miner when I setup the miner on ubuntu server, I installed cpulimit but it looks like not easy to use:
cpulimit -P /mycoin/src/myminer -l 25 I try to run this on ubuntu but it looks like it will not run background, any way to let this run on background? also, I must run myminer first, and then run cpulimit command, is this any way I can just limit my cpu usuage first and then the miner later? because if I run miner first, it will take lot of the cpu usage immediately Title: Re: For mining on ubuntu,how can I limit the CPU load?

Code: nice -n 19 cpulimit -P /mycoin/src/myminer -l 25 & Title: Re: For mining on ubuntu,how can I limit the CPU load? Post by: mullick on July 19, 2015, 10:19:43 PM If your cpu mining then im going to assume your mining with the daemon of the coin itself. In that case
Code: proc=x Where x = the number of cores you want utilized. Adding that line to your config file will do the trick for most codebases |
