2 instances of miner on same machine

[asb1321]

Hi, 

Does anyone know how to run two instances of same miner at the same time and both will have own dedicated GPUs as I want to mine different coins and don’t want dual mining.

I am using Team Red Miner.

Thanks for the help.

Look for -d or --devices or -gpu command line options to tell a miner to use only specific gpus.

I know TRM and LOL use -d or --devices

You set one to use a card or cards and set the other to use the other cards.

Yes, I tried disabling 1 GPU in one instance and enabling it in the second instance but it shuts down both the instances. Even if I run two different miners i.e  TRM and Phoenix they both will not work.

work 1 instance with 2 cards? show your commandline and give us information about your system or how should we help?

Hi,

Please see the command line for both GPUs together.

teamredminer.exe -a ethash -o stratum+tcp://eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -u 0x789FFf9——————-BD8A37165eE5655.abd -p x --enable_compute

So if this to mine on card #2 add -d=1 to the end of the line.


On the other miner command line assumes lolminer add --devices 0

This would make TRM mine on the second gpu and lolminer on gpu 0

Hi,

I tried but TRM doesn’t start with those additions at the end.

For LOLminer add --devices 0

This will make it work on 1st gpu (plugged probably into mobo for super zombie mode on eth)

For TRM add --devices=1

this will make it work on gpu #2 (remember the start at 0).

The syntax is slightly different....but that works on 9 of my rigs no issue

Great.. it worked.

Thanks for your help.

Highly appreciate.
