The SSL certificate is being replaced, if you've got https:// bookmarked, change it to http:// for now. This is what's delaying the launch.

Same problem my friend.. unless I add ldl I get:

Quote

/usr/bin/ld: note: 'dlopen@@GLIBC_2.1' is defined in DSO /lib/libdl.so.2 so try adding it to the linker command line

If you're pulling from git, make sure you re-run autogen.sh or you won't see his change for this.

Aha! Well that's why it thinks the device doesn't support ADL, because it doesn't support the full feature set. I'm pretty sure I can fix that. Is there only one fan setting for both GPUs then?

Right, there's just one fan that both GPUs share. Sorry, I didn't even think the fan was possibly causing this.

Interesting. So some call must be failing on the 2nd core and cgminer is disabling ADL on that card inappropriately. I think I'll just enable ADL on any AMD recognised card.
Do you get anything useful with ADL in the message if you start with -D -T ?

The only ADL message I get is a "Failed to ADL_Overdrive5_FanSpeedInfo_Get" right at startup:

Code:

I can confirm that even aticonfig throws an error when trying to get the fan speed of the second GPU:

First GPU:
Code:
 aticonfig --pplib-cmd="get fanspeed 0"
Fan speed query:

Interesting. Perhaps it supports only a few commands but not others since it does show up as a discrete device. What can you set manually with other software? Are GPU speeds linked for example?

aticonfig seems to show them as separate, including different temps:

Code:
$ aticonfig --odgt --adapter=all

Adapter 0 - ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series
            Sensor 0: Temperature - 100.00 C

Adapter 1 - ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series
            Sensor 0: Temperature - 100.00 C

Adapter 2 - ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series 
            Sensor 0: Temperature - 90.00 C

Adapter 3 - ATI Radeon HD 5900 Series
            Sensor 0: Temperature - 97.50 C

Adapter 4 - ATI Radeon HD 5900 Series
            Sensor 0: Temperature - 93.50 C

I also can set the clocks on both cards separately:

Code:
$ aticonfig --odgc --adapter=all

*snip unrelated cards*

Adapter 3 - ATI Radeon HD 5900 Series
                            Core (MHz)    Memory (MHz)
           Current Clocks :    725           1000

Adapter 4 - ATI Radeon HD 5900 Series
                            Core (MHz)    Memory (MHz)
           Current Clocks :    726           1000

  Configurable Peak Range : [550-1000]     [1000-1500]
                 GPU load :    0%

cgminer doesn't see the temp sensors on the second GPU though:

cgminer won't let me change anything on GPU4 either:

1) Dual GPU cards don't get adjusted/disabled correctly. For example, a 5970 will only disable the one GPU that has the temp sensor:

Code:
 GPU 3: [80.5 C] [DISABLED /78.5 Mh/s] [Q:2 A:11 R:1 HW:0 E:550% U:1.81/m]
 GPU 4: [327.3/324.5 Mh/s] [Q:25 A:23 R:1 HW:0 E:92% U:3.78/m]
Out of curiosity, what does AMDOverdriveCtrl -h return as a list of adapters on machines with dual core GPUs like this one?

That's total queued to date, not current queued.

Ack, ignore me. I had my own patch that was exporting some variables to an external program that didn't merge correctly with 2.0.0, that was reporting to my program the wrong number for the queue size. I normally didn't look at cgminer's own UI, and when I finally went to go look at it, I misread.

Sorry. Smiley

I'm also seeing something where the size of the queue on each GPU keeps growing over time, until there are hundreds of queued work per card. It may have something to do with cgminer reporting that the pool isn't providing work quickly enough (which I think is incorrect, the pushpoold it's talking to is a few feet away, on a totally unloaded box, that older versions of cgminer aren't complaining about), and after that the size of the queue keeps growing like crazy.

This also seems to be causing some of the work that's being done to be so old it's being rejected by the time it actually gets a chance to run. Example from a box running for a few hours:

Code:

1) Dual GPU cards don't get adjusted/disabled correctly. For example, a 5970 will only disable the one GPU that has the temp sensor:

Code:
 GPU 3: [80.5 C] [DISABLED /78.5 Mh/s] [Q:2 A:11 R:1 HW:0 E:550% U:1.81/m]
 GPU 4: [327.3/324.5 Mh/s] [Q:25 A:23 R:1 HW:0 E:92% U:3.78/m]
Strange, for me each core on my 5970's can be disabled seperately and correctly ([g] [d] 0, [g] [d] 1).

Mine can too, I mean the auto-disable that seems to be happening now if the temperature goes too high. The second GPU doesn't have a sensor, and I don't think cgminer realizes it's sharing a sensor with the first GPU.


3) Pressing "G" when you have more than a couple of cards makes it impossible to read the output, because the window the output is displayed to is too small unless you have a HUGE screen.
Windows? Make shortcut and size the font down or increase the lines height from 25 to 50.

I've got boxes with 8 GPUs in them, even on a 30" monitor with pretty small print, there still isn't enough room to display them all.

4) I'd love a way to specify different temperature thresholds per GPU on the command line. If I have different model cards in there, they have different points where they're happy. 5770s get crashy above 90-95, where 5970 and 6990 cards idle near there at times. Smiley
You can, comma's, just have to know which ones are enumerated which. (--gpu-clock 1000,440,750,950) for example.

You can for --gpu-clock, but not --temp-overheat for example.

Code:
--temp-overheat: '90,90,90,95,95' is not a number
10  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: CGMINER CPU/GPU miner, GPU overclock+monitor+fanspeed in C for linux/windows/osx on: September 07, 2011, 06:38:25 PM
Code:
[2011-09-07 13:36:44] Overheat detected, increasing fan to 100%
[2011-09-07 13:36:46] Overheat detected, increasing fan to 100%
[2011-09-07 13:36:49] Overheat detected, increasing fan to 100%
[2011-09-07 13:36:51] Overheat detected, increasing fan to 100%
[2011-09-07 13:36:53] Overheat detected, increasing fan to 100%
[2011-09-07 13:36:55] Overheat detected, increasing fan to 100%

This should probably identify which GPU it's talking about, and maybe have some kind of throttling added to it, if a card's temperature is wiggling around the threshold.
11  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: CGMINER CPU/GPU miner, GPU overclock+monitor+fanspeed in C for linux/windows/osx on: September 07, 2011, 05:09:52 PM
The new GPU features are awesome! A few suggestions/requests:


1) Dual GPU cards don't get adjusted/disabled correctly. For example, a 5970 will only disable the one GPU that has the temp sensor:

Code:
 GPU 3: [80.5 C] [DISABLED /78.5 Mh/s] [Q:2 A:11 R:1 HW:0 E:550% U:1.81/m]
 GPU 4: [327.3/324.5 Mh/s] [Q:25 A:23 R:1 HW:0 E:92% U:3.78/m]

2) It'd be awesome if cgminer would record the current clocks on startup, and restore them on exit if the auto tuning changed them at all.

3) Pressing "G" when you have more than a couple of cards makes it impossible to read the output, because the window the output is displayed to is too small unless you have a HUGE screen.

4) I'd love a way to specify different temperature thresholds per GPU on the command line. If I have different model cards in there, they have different points where they're happy. 5770s get crashy above 90-95, where 5970 and 6990 cards idle near there at times. Smiley

5) My ideal dream would be a way of somehow saying "Any 5970 cards you see, set the temperature thresholds to X/Y, the voltage to Z, etc. Any 5770 cards, the temperature threshold is..." so that I don't have to look up which cards are in which system, just to pass that along to cgminer.

6) Temperatures >100C should be allowed, no matter how bad of an idea that sounds. We have some cards that go up to 105-107C without issue.

7) Specifying an overclock/underclock range that cgminer is allowed to adjust the clock in would be handy.

Cool One step further, having it attempt to determine (maybe even saved into a local file) how high the clock was able to go without problems, and self-tuning the max clock rate while under the threshold temperature.

Price drop on the 6990s, 5770s and laptop. If there's something holding you back on buying please let me know, I'd like to get this batch of stuff sold off.

*tempt tempt tempt*


Want 3 of those 5770s. Not quite there on the coins. Trying to get it figured out, have enough for two cards right now, just trying to squeeze out some $$ for the third.
Do have one question, you say these do not fit in the large USPS flat mail box in original box. Is it possible to still get that box in the mail with the card, as in can you
fold it down an fit it in? Would REALLY like to have as much of the original packaging w/o paying extra for shipping.

Thanks.


 -ST

We've been sending PMs, but just so everyone else hears the answer:

I can fit the outer retail cardboard box into any shipping box fine, it's the ridiculously thick carrier inside the retail box that is too big to fit into any flat rate box. So you can have the outer shell of the retail box, the card and the stuff that comes with it, but if you want the plastic carrier piece that the card sits in, it's more complicated to ship. (If you buy just one card, I have to use a long "Medium" box, which is way more expensive to ship than just the bare card, and if you buy multiple cards I have to ship them all separately.)

Sorry if this is a known problem, but browsing the commits and the forum I couldn't see anything.

Does anyone else see the Mac client inserting a NUL at the end of the address when you copy an address from the Address Book to the clipboard? It causes weird things like if you try to directly paste that into a post on the forum here, the forum software deletes your message data. Pasting it into a terminal window (which ignores the NUL) and select-copy-pasting THAT works fine.

Have I broken something, or is this not working right on OS X?

I've looked at the source, and I don't see an obvious reason this is happening, but I'm wondering if it's happening everywhere but other platforms are not trying so hard to paste the contents verbatim?

Updated one more time. The user who paid for 2 opened 5770s had a "family emergency" and asked for a refund before they shipped, so they're back up on the market. Sold out again already.

Lowered the price of a few things, to try to tempt you further! Smiley
