Title: CGMiner - restricting clock settings by time (time-based clock setting) Post by: ThiagoCMC on January 12, 2012, 09:14:12 PM Hi!
I would like to setup the hardware settings, according to the daytime, similar to Squid time-based ACLs (Restricting Web Access By Time (http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch32_:_Controlling_Web_Access_with_Squid#Restricting_Web_Access_By_Time))... For example: For each GPU (or maybe for the entire minig rig): gpu0-uuid off 07:00-18:30 gpu0-uuid gpu-clock 500-900 18:30-07:00 gpu1-uuid off 07:00-18:30 gpu1-uuid gpu-clock 500-900 18:30-07:00 gpu2-uuid gpu-clock 500-900 18:30-07:00 gpu2-uuid gpu-clock 500-930 07:00-18:30 Trying to simplify, turn off the mining rig 07:00-18:30 and turn it on 18:30-07:00 at full load. I can do it from crontab, of course, but, I think it can be awesome to have this feature within CGMiner... What about that?! 5~10 Bitcoins?! Cheers!

Look at cgminer --help

Look at cgminer --help LOL I'll check it!!! Thanks!!

There's a --sched-start and --sched-stop switch for turning mining on/off. But not throttling the clock speed based on time.
I'd like to change the intensity based on time of day myself. For instance when I'm not on the computer at night and while at work I'd like the intensity to be high, but low otherwise.

There's a --sched-start and --sched-stop switch for turning mining on/off. But not throttling the clock speed based on time. I see no problem changing intensity when you are going to bed or sleeping. It is fairly easy to do via [G]->->Enter GPU->Enter intensityI'd like to change the intensity based on time of day myself.

It is fairly easy to do via [G]->->Enter GPU->Enter intensity I know but I'm lazy. I want it automatic like OP.

I'll workaround with cron jobs... But, if someone wants to automatize this routines at CGMiner, lets discuss about it! Best!

I guess it's summer in Brazil, isn't it?
I had a similar issue during the summer here in Greece, with ambient temperatures of about 30-35 C. I went away on a holiday and I did not want to leave the air-conditioning on all day (and thus double my electricity consumption) so I had a setup like this:
It should be simple to implement. If you actually want to completely turn off some cards for certain day intervals, as your post suggests, then just omit the first cgminer process. Hope this helps. |
