Normally a rejected share won't be fixed by resending it.

The Windows release of poclbm uses py2exe to create an EXE for us lazy Windows users :)You use it by doing "python2.7.exe bitcoin-luke-jrs-poclbm\poclbm.py" Luke-Jr: Great work! I merged this with my branch (http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=19169.0) and it seems to be working wonderfully so far. I haven't measured connection performance, but it's very nice to have it tally up the rejected statistics and such. Thank you for this great improvement to poclbm :D Title: Re: My improvements to poclbm Post by: Ali on June 21, 2011, 06:39:43 AM You use it by doing "python2.7.exe bitcoin-luke-jrs-poclbm\poclbm.py" That's what I do too but it raises the error. Code: Traceback (most recent call last): File "poclbm.py", line 3, in <module> import pyopencl as cl ImportError: No module named pyopencl How to install pyopencl? I never used python. Title: Re: My improvements to poclbm Post by: fpgaminer on June 22, 2011, 07:32:16 AM Quote That's what I do too but it raises the error. Yikes, yeah. Well, to be honest, pyopencl looked like a bit of a pain to compile when I took a look at it last, and I couldn't find anything pre-compiled. Hopefully someone else can chime in here.Other than that, you may want to take a look at my branch, for which I did put together a ready to run Windows exe: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=19169.msg254264#msg254264 (http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=19169.msg254264#msg254264) For that one I copied over the pyopencl binaries from the original poclbm packaging, so I didn't have to compile pyopencl. ;D My branch includes luke jr's modifications, but it also uses the phatk kernel (which may give you a speed boost). Title: Re: My improvements to poclbm Post by: Ali on June 22, 2011, 07:42:43 AM I'm using your branch now fpgaminer. The phatk-kernel gives me a boost of about 12 MH/s.
What does the Efficiency value mean? Title: Re: My improvements to poclbm Post by: SoreGums on June 23, 2011, 02:27:32 AM What does the Efficiency value mean? yeah, i'm wondering the same thing ;)is 359%,380%: good, great, ok, awesome :P Title: Re: My improvements to poclbm Post by: Luke-Jr on June 23, 2011, 02:29:50 AM What does the Efficiency value mean? Same thing it's always meant with regard to mining. Percentage of getworks that result in a share. With roll-ntime, fast miners can easily milk lots of shares out of each getwork.Title: Re: My improvements to poclbm Post by: SoreGums on June 23, 2011, 02:31:43 AM What does the Efficiency value mean? Same thing it's always meant with regard to mining. Percentage of getworks that result in a share. With roll-ntime, fast miners can easily milk lots of shares out of each getwork.edit: ok i get it now. eff = accepted shares/getwork*100 - simple really ;) Title: Re: My improvements to poclbm Post by: Detritus on June 23, 2011, 11:51:01 AM Great work luke-jr
I made some minor tweaks to the status display line to show three digits of precision on the display of reject and efficiency percentages. A lot of times rejects is between %0 - %1 and being able to see the fraction of a percent is handy (well to me anyway.. ;) ) here's and examples of the modified display... Code: [401.772 MH/s (~444 MH/s)] [Rej: 13/1635 (0.795%)] [GW: 2704 (Eff: 59.985%)] and here's the diff of BitcoinMiner.pl that implements it... Code: bigfoot@brontosaurus:~/bitcoin-luke-jrs-poclbm$ diff ../luke-jr-poclbm/bitcoin-luke-jrs-poclbm/BitcoinMiner.py BitcoinMiner.py 149,150c149,150 < eff = self.shareCount[1] * 100 / self.getworkCount < self.say('[%.03f MH/s (~%d MH/s)] [Rej: %d/%d (%d%%)] [GW: %d (Eff: %d%%)]', (rate, round(estRate), self.shareCount[0], totShares, self.shareCount[0] * 100 / totSharesE, self.getworkCount, eff)) --- > eff = float(self.shareCount[1]) * 100 / float(self.getworkCount) > self.say('[%.03f MH/s (~%d MH/s)] [Rej: %d/%d (%0.03f%%)] [GW: %d (Eff: %0.03f%%)]', (rate, round(estRate), self.shareCount[0], totShares, float(self.shareCount[0]) * 100 / float(totSharesE), self.getworkCount, eff)) Title: Re: My improvements to poclbm Post by: jkminkov on June 24, 2011, 09:37:40 AM any chance that we <windows lamers> get compiled binaries :-[
