I'm having a strange issue with HP9 on an 16 core xeon. It's a dedicated server split into two 8-thread VPS's, each with 8GB RAM, and both of them are performing poorly...
"blocks" : 99198,
"chainspermin" : 2,
"chainsperday" : 0.28352104,
"currentblocksize" : 1000,
"currentblocktx" : 0,
"difficulty" : 9.37849414,
"errors" : "",
"generate" : true,
"genproclimit" : -1,
"roundsievepercentage" : 70,
"primespersec" : 647,
"pooledtx" : 0,
"sievepercentage" : 6,
"sievesize" : 1000000,
"testnet" : false
I can't get the PPS or CPM/CPD values up to anything like a decent number. I have other similar VPS's with different providers running at 10 times these numbers. Any ideas?

Set sievepercentage at 10. |

Set sievepercentage at 10. That gives me a slight reduction in both PPS and CPD, hence why it was at 6. It's something more fundamental than that I feel. EDIT: CPU usage is at 800% showing all 8 cores are maxed out |

no and no. XPM doesn't use normal SHA or scrypt parameters, ypool created their own miner and set up the whole share system they use. I personally think it'd be BS to use their work to build a competing pool, figure it out on your own. |

I had no idea it is not sha or scrypt based........  dude get off your high horse a lot of this stuff is open source, i'm simply asking a question and looking for a fact based answer ... not looking for the opinion of the peanut gallery.... anyway i'll go mine some other coin with my machines since ypool is not very reliable... |

Yeah, 0.28 CPD is quite bad. Probably has something to do with the VPS configuration. My dual core athlon at home is faster than that. |

Ubuntu 12, everything compiled from source, same as my other VPS's and personal machines. Seems this one just doesn't want to play. I might try a different version of linux later if I have time, but doubt it will yield anything. Incidentally I tried sunny's version too, as well as the pool miner, and had the same low performance on each. |

How do you change the number of cores and threads?
if using the daemon then ./primecoind setgenerate true X (where X is the number of threads) if using the QT client, go into the debug console and type setgenerate true X |

Every time hp9 crash it produce this same error :
checkqueue.h:171: CCheckQueueControl<T>::CCheckQueueControl(CCheckQueue<T>*) [with T = CScriptCheck]: Assertion `pqueue->nTotal == pqueue->nIdle' failed.
Just in case you didn't know already !

I am also concluding that HP9 client is a lot faster, still getting a block or even two with haswell beast!  |
