Title: I guess I understand the flags, now how to write a phoenix 2.0 config file? Post by: skeeterskeeter on February 26, 2013, 03:10:27 AM So as most you might have seen I am having trouble with guiminer and getting it to run optimally. So I decided to try phoenix 2.0.
EDIT: I am running two 5830's a 7770 and a evga 610gt; all four support openCl, I guess I can use guiminer to find their device numbers too! I see that most user set the flags as such -k phatk DEVICE=0 WORKSIZE=128 BFI_INT VECTORS FASTLOOP=false AGGRESSION=13 or whatever they wish. I get that these are flags for the device, but how do I get phoenix up and running to set this. I know it is used via command line, it sent me the message "looks like your new, edit the .conf file". So I am not sure as how to write it? I cannot find a guide how to write it, only different config values. EDIT: Well I found this? It sure does make all these things scream when I run phoenix. So, this [cl:0:0] means For opencl miners with device ID 0 and ____ 0 do the mining as follows [...value setting...] How can I tell which device is which, what is the the third number stand for? What is a good, low low setting to start at for each of my cards? - in guiminer the flags (-v -w512 -f100) seemed to let each card run at a decent temp. (though they seemed to not be getting many shares?; a little slower than the flags (-v -w128) and alot less heat) It says queue size is the size of the queue, what queue? work queue? why would I want size one? Code: [general] EDIT2: This works nicely with a worksize of 1024 and agression 9 for a pure air cooled setup. Prolly needs to go even a little lower.

Post by: ssateneth on February 26, 2013, 06:11:12 AM You have too many options/flags set that you probably do not even need to mess with. One example is you are declaring auto-detect, but you are manually declaring devices to mine on too?...
I crafted this config myself when I used phoenix 2 and it just -worked-.

Post by: skeeterskeeter on February 26, 2013, 12:49:44 PM This was an example config I found perusing the interwebs. Idk he used whatever he did.
So how do I target each individual GPU? Do I set the two numbers after the "cl" in the device config sections to the numbers of the device that guiminer picks up? Say guiminer calls my 7770 capeverde [0-1] then in the config file i should use [cl:0:1] to hit the 7770? Does verbose mean, "I am going to type the password in this file as plaintext"? I got the 7770 and two 5830's running at 600Mhash collectively. Should be more, near 800, but not enough cooling right now. |
