OFFICIAL CGMINER mining software thread for linux/win/osx/mips/arm/r-pi 4.11.1

Sadly it's crashing the 17 lancelot instance every 10 minutes

cgminer.exe caused an Access Violation at location 0045b0b9 in module cgminer.exe Reading from location 1b30d66a.

0.2%

About 5-10% better still over 60%

Well I don't think that's the cause then if it's only 5%. We'll investigate further.

I've found a place where a fair amount of cpu usage might be lost. You might want to try the new binaries I uploaded again here that try to kerb that:

Heh, that's more like it

That's not a debug build so that is useless as well I'm afraid.

oops do u have a debug, cpu fixed?

Not today, at work... gimme another day.

Of course

IS there a benefit of using nogpu.exe vs no gpu in config file?

It just doesn't have the gpu code built into it so you don't need opencl installed (opencl.dll required etc). Otherwise it behaves the same.

I have a question about Linux usage: once you have connected via SSH, how do you get the output of cgminer (or any other running process, for that matter)?

[daemondazz]

I run cgminer under daemontools. Use --syslog to send most of the log output to the system log and redirect output from the command line to /tmp/cgminer.log, so you can see the ongoing hashrate.

You can use "screen" too

You can use "screen" too

Definitely, but this means that you need to (after a system reboot) remember, or be available, to log in and start everything up.

I have my systems PXE booting, automatically starting X under tty12 and cgminer under daemontools. It means that my miners can reboot at any time and they'll come up mining. Throw in puppet for managing the config files and it's fairly well automated.

Could you elaborate on what PXE booting, daemontools, and puppet mean? I'm a Windows guy!

Sure:
PXE booting means booting off the network from a file server - no disks in the machine and they all share the same root filesystem on the file server
daemontools is a program for supervising processes - if they die it automatically restarts them
puppet is a configuration management tool for linux

I should probably do a howto for all this, parts of this could be easily re-used without needing the whole setup.

Many thanks for the helpful response. I for one would appreciate a howto on making the RPi/MinePeon more automatic.

Can I hope in future that temp-cutoff will shut down cgminer too not just stop using gpu?

[Lucko]

EDIT: Now I get it. Well I did some testings and I can get about 4% more if I set up to 10 and 12. And that is missing at the moment... As far as I know 8 and 9 were limits in older versions...

There aren't really any limits per version of CGMiner, except where it tops out at which I think is 14.  But the limit is per GPU type.  9 is about the max that gets you the best performance.  But I have 5xxx series GPU's so 8 or 9 is the highest which is best for those.  If you have newer GPU's then maybe you can go higher.  I would recommend keeping an eye on your U: and HW errors though.

Again the FAQ in the top post explains allot of this.
Sam

Upper limit is 20 and numbers that I have are from test are 5770 and 6790 preforms best with 10 and 5850, 5970, 6870 performs best with 12. No problems whit HW and U is higher(2 day testing)... So can we stop this. I will use that settings if possible. I'm not asking if it is OK to use it. So no need to continue.

I would like to know why I can't use setting for intensity higher then 8 with 8 GPU cores and I was able to do so with 5 cores. What is a solution or workaround...
