Simple core/memory auto-tuner script

[joshki]

I'm sending you a donation.  Not because This tool helped me speed up mining.  I got zero increase in mining.  I guess my cards are near optimally tuned.  But because I was able to optimize in another way.  Also,  I now have example code on how to talk to cgminer via APIs.  That could be useful to me some day.

You know that there are multiple examples of how to talk to the api in different languages in the cgminer package itself, right?

Can you change your GPU clocks using cgminer directly? If you try, ignore any "success" messages cgminer gives you after a clock change and verify that the new clocks are being used yourself (it should display them). This python just uses cgminers clock changing functionality, so if it doesn't work in cgminer, this script won't work.

Make sure you are giving the tuner sensible clock ranges for your card too.

checked with cgminer and it looks like I can't change the clocks in it either.  That sux.  Guess I'm S.O.L. on that.

Any chance you're going to expand this script to include other cgminer settings like threads, thread concurrency, worksize, etc?

what kind syntax of command is for Win64 for example?

Not at the moment. It seems like there are well established values to try for different cards though.

Syntax is exactly the same, you just need to have python installed. You might need to give the full path to python when launching the script, for example:
>C:\python27\python.exe CGMinerTuner.py ....

It seems that this a script does not want to work with cgminer 3.7.2

I just noticed this after fooling with it for an hour  

EDIT:

After some research and trial and error, adding these settings allowed me to use CGMinerTuner

Code:

"api-listen" : true,
"api-allow" : "W:192.168.1.100,192.168.1/24,127.0.0.1",
"api-port" : "4028",

We'll see what happens in a few hours
