Is there any software developed for controlling more than one rig? gpu rig

Sure, MultiMiner is a free, Open Source and Cross Platform UI that lets you do exactly that.

If you pair it with MobileMiner, you can manage your rigs from any browser or smart phone, including native apps. No ports to forward, no firewalls to mess with.

You can also check out Awesome Miner (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=676942.0), that can manage and monitor multiple miners.

Awesome Miner has full support for the popular Sgminer GPU mining software, making it possible to use concept like device profiles, to make it much easier to configure and get started with the mining. You can also access preconfigured settings for several of the popular multi-pools from the Awesome Miner Web Site (http://www.awesomeminer.com/), making it even easier to get started.

Many users also find the feature Awesome Profit Switcher useful. Awesome Profit Switching makes it possible to get higher profits than any of the auto-switching multi-pools alone, by automatically switching between multiple algorithms and multiple multi-pools.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

But only for Windows miners and Windows managers/clients, right?

You need Windows to run Awesome Miner, but you can monitor any computer or device running Cgminer or Sgminer, using the "External Miner" feature.

It works fine to monitor standalone ASIC's like Antminer S1 and KnC Neptune, or computers running Linux. When connected to any of these, you can manage pools (switch, add, enable, disable, prioritize and so on), manage devices, and of course see statistics and other information.

To fully manage a remote computer using the "Managed Miner" feature, with support for starting mining process and reboot computer, you need to run the Remote Service that is only available on Windows.

To summarize, you don't need Windows to be running on your miners, but if you do, you can get additional features not provided by Cgminer itself. In the screenshot you see above, there are four miners running and Awesome Miner shows statistics and provides operations for all of them:
- Two miners running Windows (Managed Miner)
- Two different ASIC's running Linux (External Miner)

Thank you for explaining! Does Awesome Miner support miners without static IP addresses?

It will work, however if the IP address changes, you would then need to change it in Awesome Miner. It wont automatically scan for the new address.

Is it possible to install some kind of software on the mining device with dynamic IP? Or is it an ASIC you don't really have that kind of access to? There are online DNS services like dyndns (and probably others as well, I was a long time since I used these kind of services) where you can install local software that automatically updates your DNS name to point to your dynamic IP. In this case it would be possible to point Awesome Miner to the DNS name instead of the IP.

But in general, just like Axiste point out, Awesome Miner will require you to manually change the IP address.

Good idea!

I have 2 GPU miners, one with AMD GPUs, one with Nvidia GPUs and one ASIC will arrive this week. Maybe I should give MultiMiner a shot, but it doesn't support Nvidia GPUs, right?

I don't think there are any good Windows GUI software for monitoring nVidia GPU mining at the moment. If there are many users requesting that feature, I can implement it in Awesome Miner.

What about team viewer? I like it the most..

cgwatcher i presume? or just teamviewer for remote control, or the simple desktop remote control of windows 7

Teamviewer and Remote Desktop are probably the least efficient way of monitoring multiple mining rigs (or even a single rig for that matter), as you don't have any centralized management or overview of the mining.

Using teamviewer :)... the best is always to see what happen to your computer...

awesome miner and multiminer are great. if you have antminers only and just want something really simple you can try my app in my sig

I am using vnc, no problem so far..
