Title: XPM - Issue with mining....reward 5 XPM Post by: Kavre on July 16, 2013, 09:21:39 PM Hello,
here is my problem. I have a server with 8 cpu (8 x Intel Xeon L5420 @ 2.50GHz). I'm mining around 2000 PPS, I hardly believe that is doing just 2k pps..I have setgenerate true -1 I'm sure that is possible to get much more pps (i think). Running on Ubuntu 10.04. Version hp4 from mikaelh. So i'm giving a reward 5 XPM to solve this problem. I tried almost everything. I was playing with setgenerate true 1........30.....100...200 but still no more than 2000 PPS. I'm completely lost. Can't get it work properly. Any idea what is the problem? Thanks Title: Re: XPM - Issue with mining....reward 5 XPM Post by: BitRock on July 16, 2013, 09:27:55 PM Hello, according to mikaelh's posthere is my problem.

Make sure your libgmp is up-to-date. Old versions do not support newer CPUs. I suggest compiling your own libgmp from latest source code for maximum performance.

Make sure you are using the 64bit version of the miner as well. Title: Re: XPM - Issue with mining....reward 5 XPM Post by: FiiNALiZE on July 16, 2013, 09:31:24 PM Compile the source here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=255782.0

Title: Re: XPM - Issue with mining....reward 5 XPM Post by: mustyoshi on July 17, 2013, 12:46:42 AM Open up your makefile, and add -O3 -march=native -s and recompile it from source.
Also, do that with libgmp for even more performance. Title: Re: XPM - Issue with mining....reward 5 XPM Post by: logicsol on July 17, 2013, 12:55:12 AM primecoind %CPU between 700-800 what mean this? Sounds like the miner is properly using the CPUs at least, that number means 90-100% usage across all 8 cpus. I think recompiling with the latest libgmp is your best route. I'd hazard a guess that it's not properly threading the CPUs, as you get similar pps as my i7-920 @ stock. AKA it's running your 8 4 core CPUs as 1 8 core cpu.

Open up your makefile, and add -O3 -march=native -s and recompile it from source. Also, do that with libgmp for even more performance. DON'T do that with GMP. GMP is already tuned for greatest performance, and using "-O3" can sometimes break code. Maybe i will try it, just to know if are any differnece. Like I said I'm using libgmp3. Should run like libgmp? Title: Re: XPM - Issue with mining....reward 5 XPM Post by: arnuschky on July 17, 2013, 09:13:51 PM I tested on 2 INTEL Xeon E5410 (4 cores each, 2.33GHz, 2x 6MB L2 cache). This is a total of 8 cores, I think that this is very close to your configuration (with "8 cpus" you mean 8 cores I guess).
I am getting ~4000 pps on this cpu. So there is definitely something wrong with your setup. First, try to compile and install GMP yourself: Code: sudo apt-get install build-essential Then, you should compile mikaelh2's high-performance primecoind: Code: wget http://sourcefwget http://sourceforge.net/projects/primecoin-hp/files/0.1.1-hp4/primecoin-0.1.1-hp4.tar.bz2/download -O primecoin-0.1.1-hp4.tar.bz2 Use this for your primecoin.conf: Code: rpcuser=<somelongstring> Now you should have exactly the same setup as my test setup - except that you have some Ghz more. Let me know if this works for you! As I said, ~4000 pps.

Code: sudo apt-get install htop I get 5000pps from a AMD Phenom 1090 (3.2Ghz) / 16GB RAM / Ubuntu 13.04 64bit from mikhaels hp3 on my desktop... I think your Xeon should do more... How much memory does the machine have? If it is lacking memory then create a swap file: Code: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=64M count=16 Update: Just compiled hp4 and getting up to 6000pps with the same config.

The 2K number is suspiciously close to the performance you should expect from running only one processor(4 cores). Use a diagnostic program to see if all the processors are the same temperature after running for a while.
