This problem can easily be solved by making an initrd environment and loading it to ram using ramfs where execution of scripts will not bother actual filesystem.

Yep, its already there but still, updates needs to be write to usb , and that is weak spot
Already using tmpfs for everything

I'd suggest different approach for this.
Switch to mLibc or ucLibc 64bit strap the default config file to initrd file and use dd to update to new images. I think that old projects like m0n0wall and pfSense are good starting point to do unified system. I am already onto this but only in my farm.

Do you support nvidia cards?

Do you support nvidia cards?

I already sent him my nvidia scripts, so expect soon support for nvidia

Optiminer v1.6.2

I have it in plans but not soon.
I can start thinking about it after April.

UPDATE v1065
- optiminer updated to v1.6.2
note: you need to reload or reboot your rig to start using this version.

[talks_cheep]

Update v1064:
- fixed "GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT is not specified!"

Thanks titanic!

I was getting tired of ssh'ing into my rigs to edit the start.sh file.

This will increase performance and reliability for mining.

Yay!

Net time tell me that i forgot. This was a bug so bugs are priority

I dont see it in my dashboard.... logout and login again .... still no v1.6.2

v1.6.1 is still there though

Am I the only one seeing this?

Sorry, forgot to change name.
After reloading you were using newest version but only name is that i forgot to change

I tried it anyways... and knew it was new version because my rigs did not crash!

there was something wrong with v1.6.1 that my rigs would not last 1 hour

Good to know.
Anyway i need t figure out how to do ability to lock versions.
And select which one should be downloaded to rig becasue i cant keep all of them
Its so much to do

Tytanick,

I noticed that in Optiminer thread, the sample batch files before running Optimer is :

SET GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=1

Is the Update v1064: - fixed "GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT is not specified!" takes care of the above?

My gut feel is that "gpu_force_64bit" and "gpu_max_alloc..." is not the same.

Can you help investigate?

# export GPU_SYNC_OBJECTS=1 - not useful mostly(some cards may work better with it)
export GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=1 ( required when using 64bit GCN ASM code )
#export GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=100 ( mostly for XMR/ETH  a.k.a memory intensive algos )
#export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100 ( XMR/ETH Also )
#export GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT=100 ( Single GPU alloc for XMR/ETH Also )

Using RX480 you may find better without most of the options except "export GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=1 " which is Required by optiminer-zcash

[tutorialevideo]

could you do something with that config to edit after we plug the hdd into the miner?

What do you mean ?

There are both, here is the whole list.

export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
export GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
export GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=100
export GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=1

OK.

So "export GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=1" is set permanently in smOS or only when running Optiminer?

Exactly, those are GLOBAL variables, no mates which miner or OS you are running.

[reelen]

I know there was a suggestion about adding a special option Optiminer v1.5 for testing.  These 300 clock issues can really eat into profits if not monitored.  Could we try that please?  I know myself and a few other members would test this and provide feedback.

Thanks so much!
