Using this to ping you.

Gave up trying to get the benchmark to work. Went straight to xmrig 4.2.1.

edit/update: Thanks for the detailed guides in this thread. Using turion and the custom bios for overclocking, was able to get 12.8khs. Very happy.

I am building out another identical setup but after flashing the bios, CPU2 does not working. Meaning, if I take the CPU out of CPU2 slot, it boots. If I put it back in, it doesn't boot. I tried flashing the original stock bios but that didn't help either. No bios beeps, no screen, nothing with CPU2 in. I checked for bent pins but don't see anything. Have you experienced that with any of your work?

For now, I will have to just use 3 CPUs which seems a little like a waste but better than nothing I guess...

I fixed the invalid node by swapping ram into all blue slots instead of all white. Now, still having the issue with having to enable --softAes. I checked the bios again but nothing jumped out. Doesn't the 6378 support AES?

Update: Just kidding. Still having 5 and 6 invalid now.

I pulled down the turionPowercontrol but getting this error when I run it:

You need cpuid installed:
sudo apt install cpuid

And you need cpuid and msr loaded:
sudo modprobe cpuid
sudo modprobe msr

To have cpuid and msr loaded on boot:

Edit /etc/modules file and add these line to it:
 cpuid
 msr

Also, I can't run the benchmark without using --softAes. Why is that? I see your logs show hardware AES. Is that something in the bios I need to setup?

Also, Getting this error:

seq 0 1 | xargs -P 0 -I node numactl -N node ./randomx-benchmark --mine --largePages --jit --nonces 10000 --init 8 --threads 8
libnuma: Warning: node argument 0 is out of range

First make sure you have enough LargePages:

sudo sysctl -w vm.nr_hugepages=9600
cat /proc/meminfo

also make sure you have numactl installed:
sudo apt install numactl

For a Quad Opteron 6378 system this is the command:

seq 0 7 | xargs -P 0 -I node numactl --localalloc -N node ./randomx-benchmark --mine --largePages --jit --nonces 100000 --init 8 --threads 8


That cleared up the turion errors and appears to be working.

Still getting this error:
seq 0 7 | xargs -P 0 -I node numactl --localalloc -N node ./randomx-benchmark --mine --largePages --jit --nonces 100000 --init 8 --threads 8 --softAes
libnuma: Warning: node argument 0 is out of range

<0> is invalid
<3> is invalid
<6> is invalid

Also, still required to have --softAes on the command line. Anything ideas about that?

@MinersRus

Unfortunately no, I am unable to improve that last processor but I am still working on things.

Does that mean that "HT assist" was already disabled in the BIOS?

These are the other settings I have in the processor settings:

HT assist: Disabled
Core Performance Boost Mode:  Enabled
Processor HPC mode: Disabled
C1E: Enabled

No luck getting TurionPowerControl working either.

I have discovered that TurionPowerControl binary can be downloaded here:

https://github.com/mh0rst/turionpowercontrol/releases

Just download the tpc-0.44-rc2.tar.gz file (or tpc-0.44-rc2.zip) and unzip it.

In the tpc-0.44-rc2/bin/Ubuntu-amd64 folder you will see the TurionPowerControl binary

Bittware is now the only choice for boards, slightly more expensive but significantly faster hashrate. 



When will the group buy be for these boards? Will all the previous bitstreams need to get converted to run on the bitware?
7  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: DIY FPGA Mining rig for any algorithm with fast ROI on: July 11, 2018, 04:56:38 PM
I observed mineority stock. Once they went from 1400 something to under 1000 over nightm after a short period of 0 stock. Now they went from 150 to 0 suddenly. Maybe some big order, maybe they come back up.

Nope discord peeps confirm -- SOLD OUT

some nice videos posted by whithefire:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibCtdVmPAas
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzGp9IeSnuI

another one about watercooled card soon.

can't wait for august...

So with the first video and using this mining calc:
https://0x1d00ffff.github.io/0xBTC-Stats/?page=miningcalculator&#

It looks like the card is doing $15 a day, so for $3600 would be 240 days to pay off. Not too bad but hopefully other algos can get up to at least the $30 a day payout.

Re: FPGAs hosted @ Mineority.io

FPGAs hosted by Mineority will have access to encrypted bitstreams from their team and any open bitstreams, such as these. You will configure this with the web UI.


Mine on!

If we purchase FPGAs (shipped) do we still get access to Mineoritys encrypted BitStreams?

+1 for quoted question

All the same cards, all the same efuse keys, all the same bitstreams. At least launch - mineority could decide to release their own layer or vice versa.

Can we get some more info from Kristy regarding topic , its very important since only option i personally consider is shipped fpgas.

Aggred.

Also, how can we trust mineority to actually ship the cards? Are they going to mineority then getting reshipped?

NOTE--now including more info on forks as I get it/you post it. Any coin not posted here check in the reddit thread at the bottom, I am only adding info on DEFINITE fork dates. Assume most coins will fork eventually, other than Komodo.

NOTE--added a field for untested so any Z9 owners who want to test can give a whirl. Pool runners or just general curious users can post pools they want to test in this thread and testers can respond, I will update as best I can...


Running for about 10 hours on Luckpool.net and everything is working perfectly. From the chatter on the site and a number of links provided there are many Z9s running well on the pool ranging from 15-17k SOLs

What wast the ip and port for luckpool? Using zhash.pro but I really like luckpool and would prefer them. Smiley
12  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Z9 list of working pools/Fork updates on: June 25, 2018, 07:32:17 PM
What are the potential risks of running at full overclock -- 750. Dropped shares? Brick it? Does the z9 mini shut off it the temp gets too high? At 750, the three chains are averaging about 62 degrees. It is a cooler day today, and wonder if I should turn it down on one of the 100 degree summer days coming up.

FYI

https://discord.gg/Cbc979S

Both of the discord links posted a couple posts back are expired. Would love to jump in if someone can post a valid link.

I took some verilog classes back in college. Are the bitstreams written in Verilog? If so, I would love to contribute whatever help I can to getting a working bitstream for the most popular algos. Who should I contact to help get me started in the right direction?


Thank you! Linked worked!

Hi!

please can someone write step by step manual to install SRR in Linux, ethOS ?


thnx wm
BTC
 

I took this script:
https://simplemining.net/download/SRR/Tool/SRR-Agent-Linux-v2.sh

Changed the serial number and the slot number. Placed it in the home directory on ethos.

type sudo chmod +x SRR-Agent-Linux-v2.sh

type crontab -e

then added:
"@reboot /home/ethos/SRR-Agent-Linux-v2.sh"

This will run the script at startup. Seemed to work for me.

I am experiencing the exact same problems almost verbatim as the poster above. I was thinking it is related to a bad flash drive possibly. I am trying a different one. Also version 14 and 15 seem to work better than 17 and 18. I am getting lag and freezes and random reboots just trying to use you ubuntu with no mining software running.
17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [OS] nvOC easy-to-use Linux Nvidia Mining on: June 21, 2017, 04:49:09 AM
Fantastic work. Really liking the build.

I ran into the problem where my over clocks were not getting set, but your fix seemed to correct that (started with one gpu before putting more in). After the fix, the gpufan error messages (I saw others were having that) are still showing up. Not a big issue since it looks like the fans are dynamic and should adjust up.

One suggestion for the next build, can you add ZEN cash to the list of available coins?
18  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Best OS to run an 8-GPU NVIDIA GTX 1070 rig? on: June 08, 2017, 01:05:52 AM
instability, driver issues, less scripting friendly, not unix based ultimately... Large scale development would be more difficult to manage 10 windows boxes than linux. Also, the worst is having windows randomly restart for updates... If I want an update, ill do it myself...
19  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Best OS to run an 8-GPU NVIDIA GTX 1070 rig? on: June 08, 2017, 12:21:37 AM
Bump. Looking for an EthOS but for nvidia.

Sounds like even ubuntu isn't that flexible for overclocking nvidia cards, so its almost only windows.. Which sucks...
