you were referring to the tuning suite, right?

many thanks !

I've renamed the experimental one. Here is an updated one with more tweaks to the tuning (does not delay before disabling):
http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/kncminer/cgminer-tune
(Be patient before deciding what its performance is like since it takes many minutes to stabilise)
Updated that binary again. It delays re-enabling them progressively more every time they're disabled. The delay between disables is back and there is now a message saying that the cores are being enabled and have finished enabling at startup. It takes ~20 seconds on my saturn!

I've used the first version of cgminer-tune on my lower perf jup for almost 20 hs and that's what I found:

- extremly more narrow min-max performance interval. It used to hash  @610-15GH/s as max (only for a few secs) and after that it went down to 450. Now it's hasghing around avg +/- 10.

- slightly higher WU (20-50)

- almost the same cgminer hashrate as before (maybe a little bit better) (I don't have data for @pool hashrate for this machine alone)

- a lot less cores disabled at the end of the road. 10 instead of 20.

Update

Here is that last binary without the experimental tuning for those that requested it:
http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/kncminer/cgminer

I've renamed the experimental one. Here is an updated one with more tweaks to the tuning (does not delay before disabling):
http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/kncminer/cgminer-tune
(Be patient before deciding what its performance is like since it takes many minutes to stabilise)

I did nothing to the API that wasn't in the previous binary. The most likely thing if it's not working is either you changed your api allow commands, or there were two cgminer binaries running at once and one was holding onto the port while it was shutting down, not allowing the new binary to bind to the port.

good work

Jupiter: 3 perfect boards with 192/192 cores and 1 board with 187/192 cores working
firmware: 0.98-3.3v-workaround-freq (0.98.1-beta)
cgminer: cgminer-tune

results after 12h:
minor improvement in WU (~150),
Hashrate is 5-10GH/s better and more stable on client side - I'm running now slightly over specification
ok, on the pool side is no difference to notice, however it's a minor improvement on the road to max performance  Smiley

do you happen to have the link for 0.98.1 beta at hand ?
845  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Swedish ASIC miner company kncminer.com on: November 24, 2013, 04:54:05 PM
I noticed the BFGminer poll on the main page... anyone using it?...results?

it's there since forever Tongue

Anyway I've try to use it 2 days ago. I've compiled it from source using this instructions http://codepad.org/QKSeO5zh from an ssh session. I've let it run for 10mins but there were many cores enabled/disabled and it didn't seem to settle so I've turn it off and switched back to cgminer.

Hard day. KNCminer Water cooling upgrade.

Just photo.





May the Force be with you Smiley

wow

porno for miners!

did you chose to put heatsinks on top of the VMRs because they were running too hot in this configuration ?
847  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Swedish ASIC miner company kncminer.com on: November 23, 2013, 02:23:54 PM
Capitalising on the fact that I saw that dud cores are better disabled, here's an experimental binary that tunes things fairly aggressively:

http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/kncminer/cgminer

First it enables all cores on startup (so it can take a while before it starts mining!)
Then it will disable cores after only 3 hw errors in a row, but staggers disabling of cores 5 seconds apart.
Then it tries re-enabling cores after only another minute, but staggers re-enabling them.
If the cores fail 3 times in a row, they're decommissioned at that point.


many thanks.

anyway looking at /etc/init.d/cgminer.sh it seems to me that all the cores are are enabled at start time by the script itself, no?

To maximise the performance of your November shipment orders, we recommend the following:
- for November Jupiter’s a 1200 Watt PSU with a minimum of four separate PCI-E adaptors (6 pins or 6+2 pin).
- for November Saturn’s an 850 Watt PSU with a minimum of two separate PCI-E adaptors (6 pins or 6+2 pin).

I might have missed it due to the noise level here but does this mean that the November Jupiter's are less efficient than their October counterparts?  I thought they were around 1W/GH

if memory serves 'orama said 650+GH/s and that the max consumption measured at the wall during test was 1050W.

so yes the worst case scenario is 1.6W/GHs.

Calm down folks. I just posted it to let people know it happens even to developers, and have read what people suggested, but none of those fixed my particular issue. Every time I try one of those fixes things seem to just get a little worse so I'm afraid to touch it now...

Conman - did you try the hard reset - 5 times + 5secs + 5 times?
Yep, didn't make a difference.

thx & sorry it didnt help.

you made it quite clear nothing advised had helped but some people need it literally spelled out to get a clue.

what GH/s rate are you getting now?

mine has s.l.o.w.l.y crawled up to 530.1Gh/s over the past few days. could be and has been a lot worse.
It eventually speeds up to almost normal hashrate, but is laggy as in connecting and never quite averages as much as it used to because of that, making rejects worse too. Maybe it's just coincidence and the problem is elsewhere in my network but the timing with happening from the moment I upgraded to 0.99 is hard to ignore when I haven't changed anything else. Downgrading didn't fix it either.

I know its' saturday but just try to join kncminer channel @ freenode, hno's usuallly to be there most of the time.
850  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Swedish ASIC miner company kncminer.com on: November 23, 2013, 09:00:31 AM

out of curiousity how many nmc did you mine since the beginning ?

As of now btc has higher evaluation on bitstamp (just a few $). Does it mean there's no more delay in gox fiat widthdrawals?
852  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: November 22, 2013, 05:32:35 PM

Am i reading it right, 0 tx fee and already 4 confirmations?

Looks like stats stuck.

Edit: Gateway Time-out.

Edit: Short term stats (128s and 256s) stuck.

500 Internal Server Error

My payout happened, after complaining about it a few posts ago.... I've been tracking the individual block rewards to payouts, and to Slush's credit it is 100% accurate.... I have the confidence that despite the annoying delays, the payout always happens eventually....


just receive my due payout too  Tongue

Should I stay or should I go hmmm... I'm getting a decent reward here I think. .1 to .2 per 24 hours on a 100-130 ghs machine, is that decent? That all considering we don't get too many 11 hour rounds!

It's a metter of pool's luck. To evaluate it properly you need enough data points, that means time. For how long are you mining here?

To check if it fits just use a profit calculator and compute the theoretical revenue you should have and compare to what you've earned for real.

Obviously the higher the pool's hashrate the lower the variance, the lower the variance the more your theoretical profit should match your real one.
857  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [100 TH] Slush's Pool (mining.bitcoin.cz); TX FEES + UserDiff; ASIC tested on: November 22, 2013, 09:07:02 AM
Anyone been paid out today?

I'm also not being paid, despite being almost 2 times my threshold.... Cry


same here it seems there's some kind of delay in payment process.

Really annoying, but I like the pool otherwise...

It's the first glitch I'm experiencing in almost 2 months of mining @slush, but quite annoying thou.

Anyway it's quite a pity to see Slush running in some sort of "maintenance" mode, a part from the two-factor auth (that didn't work for me) I haven't see any kind of improvements lately.

Looks like Keith is getting involved in the official forums. That's brilliant to see.
Yes, it's very nice to see someone from KNC writing courteous and professional emails, addressing customer queries politely with well written and precise answers.

Direct link to Keith announcment: http://forum.kncminer.com/forum/news-and-anouncments/17857-forum-support

After that he did post another 5 times, first post 02:29 PM last 03:19 PM. If this trend continues I will have a look to knc forum a lot more frequently Tongue

Also they want to keep improving the design, get the pool up and running and give everyone here a chance to breath. This has been quite mentally and physically demanding. Hosting needs to expand etc. there is no shortage of work to do. I have plenty of content I've been working on for the site that needs some backend work before uploading, problem is it's not a current priority, and none of the guys I need to complete this are free to do so. I'd also like to work on my own pool for the guys who aren't in hosting, I have some cool ideas there...

wow. I've just checked KnC's repositories @ github and found out that hno (Henrick I suppose) is working on:

https://github.com/KnCMiner/bitcoin/commits/master

indeed a lot of things on KnC's plate, keep up the good work guys.
