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

[spiccioli]

ckolivas,

sorry to report that on my system 1.5.6 declares my GPUs (a 5850 and a 5870) sick after a few minutes of work just as 1.5.3 did.

I'm on a linuxcoin 0.2a system booting from a USB key (with persistence), I don't think I have hardware problems since different miners work without problems.

best regards.

spiccioli.

You know, this actually could be a problem with Linuxcoin.  It is still a beta after all.  You may want to try using another Linux distro on your USB and see if the problem persists.  If it doesn't, we may need to take a look at the repository of Linuxcoin and see which dependency is causing the issue before a work-around can be cooked-up.

The new kernel works things -even harder- so if you were getting sick GPUs before, you still will now. The difference is it should recover by itself. If you get sick GPUs all the time, I suggest dropping the intensity down till you find where they stop being sick.

Uhm,

@ck: Is anything like Phoenix's -s planned?

ie
 -s SOCKETNAME, --socketname=SOCKETNAME
                        full path to file for outputting current status.

That would be so delightfully cool... and useful.

I've noticed something strange about the Windows version of cgminer.  With only GPU mining enabled, there are 6 instances of the program running; 5 of which are using 1,216K of memory and 0% CPU.  Is there a purpose for these threads or is your miner having accidental child processes?

They are most definitely there for a purpose. 2 per GPU, Workio thread, staging thread, longpoll thread, watchdog thread, gpu restart thread, cpu restart thread, and then there's a thread spawned (and then killed) for every getwork request and every submit work.

ckolivas,

I was running it with

Code:

-I 8 -Q 3 -w 256

I've started it again without any parameter, it has lost a few MH/s but it has been running for enarly 20 minutes as I'm writing this...

Let's see if it was just a too high intensity.

thanks.

Don't know if this gives any hint, now GPU0 is marked dead and GPU1 is still mining.

Now that one is a driver crash. Nothing to do with cgminer directly. It even caused a linux kernel warning about a prolonged soft lockup. Perhaps try a new kernel ati driver and ati sdk.

ckolivas,

the thing that baffles me is that this does not happen if I use the other available miners, even DiabloMiner, which is a single-miner multi-GPUs kind of miner goes without problems.

my kernel driver is SDK 2.4 and Catalyst 11.6, which I think, under linux, are the latest available.

anyway, as soon as I have some more spare time I'll try to setup a USB key with a standard linux distribution (not linuxcoin) and I'll try again.

thanks a lot.

Returning with the ps snapshots I promised. I only left it running for a few hours, because I wanted to upgrade to 1.5.6. The lines below are done at 10 minutes each, with 'ps aux'. I only edited my username and password. The full command line is:

Code:

./cgminer -o http://pit.deepbit.net:8332 -u XXXXX -p XXXXX -o http://uscentral.btcguild.com:8332 -u XXXXX -p XXXXX -o http://api2.bitcoin.cz:8332 -u XXXXX -p XXXXX --submit-stale -t 0 -Q 4 -g 2 -I 10 -k phatk -v 2 -w 256 -d 0 -d 1

I think it's not enough data to draw a conclusion, but I have the suspicion that there is a memory leak somewhere, most likely in the dead gpu detection/restart code. The jumps in allocated memory are after such an event. I already started to get ps snapshots of 1.5.6 (I used the same -I option to make the gpus crash often), let me know if you need any other data:

Code:

Oh yes there is no way to clean up after a dead GPU restarted thread. It's a dramatic manoeuvre where I disable the thread and create an entirely new context. See the problem is that when code hits the GPU and NEVER RETURNS there is no reliable way of resuscitating the code that called it. So I disable the thread (in case it ever comes back) and create an entirely new thread. If I free any of the ram from the original thread, it will often crash if the thread returns and the memory has been de-referenced from under it. This is all because it's done in c low level.

Executive summary: If you get lots of GPU sick scenarios that restart the GPU, decrease the intensity level with -I till it stops happening.

Returning with the ps snapshots I promised. I only left it running for a few hours, because I wanted to upgrade to 1.5.6. The lines below are done at 10 minutes each, with 'ps aux'. I only edited my username and password. The full command line is:

Code:

./cgminer -o http://pit.deepbit.net:8332 -u XXXXX -p XXXXX -o http://uscentral.btcguild.com:8332 -u XXXXX -p XXXXX -o http://api2.bitcoin.cz:8332 -u XXXXX -p XXXXX --submit-stale -t 0 -Q 4 -g 2 -I 10 -k phatk -v 2 -w 256 -d 0 -d 1

I think it's not enough data to draw a conclusion, but I have the suspicion that there is a memory leak somewhere, most likely in the dead gpu detection/restart code. The jumps in allocated memory are after such an event.

Actually, I would suspect it to be in the new phatk2 kernel.  There was a similar leak in the original phatk2 kernel (which was actually much faster before they fixed it) and they had to revert some changes to fix it.  It's probable that the source used for cgminer was of the problematic version and a similar reversion will need to be made for it as well.

[-ck]

No, the source for the new phatk kernel came from phateus himself and is as up to date as it gets.

[d3m0n1q_733rz]

Cool.  I was just worried about it being the same issue as was found with Phoenix Miner...maybe that was with the miner...eh, it's too late at night/early in the morning for me to think about things.  So please disregard my confused thoughts.

No, I was running 1.5.5 with the old kernel. As Con said, if I still get a lot of crashes I will decrease intensity. But it appears that's not the case with 1.5.6 - no crashes, no hardware errors, which is consistent with my results with phoenix-1.5 + phatk-2.2. I might even try to increase the frequency a little and see if hardware errors went away at higher freqs too (also expected).

The other 2 notable differences are increased hashrate (hooray) and +2 degrees C heat per board (booo) - also expected.

Great work on the new windows-build.

However on one machine I'm trying the cpu-only version on Windows XP (x86) which crashes instantly.
I start it from a bat-file with the following options:

set http-proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8118
cgminer-cpuonly.exe -o http://mining.com/8332 -u user -p pass

What may be the cause?

EDIT: The benchmark-mode (--algo auto) works. After finishing the last benchmark the miner crashes.

For one, the backslash instead of the colon before your port number.  Also, try tagging on --algo auto for good measure.  It's a nice feature that will ensure you're using the best algorithm for your processor.  But yeah, http://mining.com:8332 not /8332.

[Tx2000]

Apologize if it was already addressed or noted somewhere but I cannot seem to find it.  Is it possible to set Intensity per GPU?  If not, would that be something difficult to add?  I like being able to manage each GPU individually and in my case, one of my GPUs isn't always a dedicated miner while the other is.

Unfortunately there is not a way to do that at the moment. In the readme you'll see it recommends running 2 instances of cgminer selecting which GPUs to use. Use one instance in dynamic mode and the other with a set intensity.

Good idea.  I don't know why I didn't see that.... I'll give it a shot, thanks!

for me 1.5.6 seems to work only on single card machines, i get the same message from 2 diff machines, one is 2x 5870 and one is 2x 5830

any ideas ?

P.S.
1.5.5 works just fine
