I find very telling that the only responses I got here were after I said I fixed it and to just talk shit, basically because I'm upset. Very helpful. How about pointing out some of those posts. No you just wait for a troll moment then pounce. THANK YOU TROLLS VERY HELPFUL
Says the person who wouldn't post how their problem was fixed. Isn't that telling as well? So you guys aren't willing to help me fix a problem on my one setup which is most likely different than every other setup because everyone's machine is different? Well... Screw you guys... I'm going home. What are you whining about? This conversation had nothing to do with you. Unless your the same person as GrapeApe using more than one account?!?!?

ckolivas, you mentioned that Windows default 15ms timer resolution is shitty. Today I've just read that 15ms resolution is for reason http://randomascii.wordpress.com/2013/07/08/windows-timer-resolution-megawatts-wasted/Indeed, after executing clockres and "powercfg -energy duration 5" I see, cgminer switched it to 1ms ClockRes v2.0 - View the system clock resolution Copyright (C) 2009 Mark Russinovich SysInternals - www.sysinternals.com
Maximum timer interval: 15.600 ms Minimum timer interval: 0.500 ms Current timer interval: 1.000 ms
Platform Timer Resolution:Timer Request Stack The stack of modules responsible for the lowest platform timer setting in this process. Requested Period 10000 Requesting Process ID 5356 Requesting Process Path \Device\HarddiskVolume6\Downloads\prog\bt\cgminer\cgminer.exe Calling Module Stack \Device\HarddiskVolume4\Windows\System32\ntdll.dll \Device\HarddiskVolume4\Windows\System32\winmm.dll \Device\HarddiskVolume6\Downloads\prog\bt\cgminer\cgminer.exe I haven't found exact notice of that in NEWS.txt, but this Version 3.0.0 - April 22nd, 2013 - Create a cgminer specific gettimeofday wrapper that is always called with tz set to NULL and increases the resolution on windows. - Add high resolution to nmsleep wrapper on windows. So is timer resolution change in cgminer intentional?

So is timer resolution change in cgminer intentional? Indeed it is intentional. We work with very tight timeframes and 15ms resolution isn't remotely accurate enough for what's required by some higher performance, but poorly designed hardware. If the hardware in question had nice queues for submitting work and buffers for returning work and didn't require polling, we wouldn't need to do this, but we do. Otherwise, depending on which device we're talking about, we'd lose results, the results would be corrupted or we'd be unable to keep it busy (the avalon suffers from all of the above for example). Note that we try to only enable high resolution timers for the duration we need them, but with so much going on in cgminer, it ends up being on most of the time.

Hi
I used CGMINER 3.1.1 with an radeon hd 5870 on RedHat EL 6.4 and all worked fine. After upgrading to 3.3.1 I only get HWs but no shares. What has changed since 3.1.1?
Thx

Just to be clear, Windows is not a realtime operating system. 15ms? it used to be 10ms.

But no an RTOS it is not, nor meant to be. I'm pretty sure it was 10 on XP. I remember fighting to get 10ms of work done in a 300ms window. because of orphan control it couldn't be done. took 3 months to convice the muckity mucks it couldn't be done. Ended up using RedHat where we could set our own slice time.

You changed your driver. See GPU-README. It's even in UPPERCASE, screaming out to be read.

Now back to regularly scheduled programming

I tried the old 3.1.1 one and it still works. The 3.1.1 .bin files may have been from a previous Catalys/OpenCL combination that worked better. To check that, back up the 3.1.1 .bin files, delete the ones in the running directory and re run CGMiner and let it build new ones and see if your performance is the same or not.

Older SDKs no longer produce valid shares with newer drivers.

Will the driver and configuration options for the Klondike be included in cgminer anytime soon? Thanks!

Question:
I'm running a BFL Jalapeno; it's connected to a Centos-KVM session running Ubuntu. When i mine with CGMiner pointed towards Bitminters servers, it runs like a champ, though about 10% slower than it did when it was running on a Mac Mini. But bitminter's java app on the mac kept crashing every couple of days, so i'd rather give it a try this way, lose 10% of the performance (5 GH rather than 5.5 GH) but hopefully not come home and see a frozen java app sitting on my screen.
Now, my question is this: it runs fine when pointed at bitminter and generating bitcoins. When I attempt to point it at coinotron's servers in order to miner ppcoins, I just get stuck at the opening screen, saying it can't find any hotplug USB devices. But the same exact command, pointed towards bitminter finds the Jalapeno just fine and starts mining away.
Anyone have a clue as to that? Can a Jalapeno be used to mine other SHA coins if I use another miner besides cgminer? Or is it trully that specific that it'll only mine bitcoin's version of SHA (which i thought was more or less the same on all the other SHA coins?

wouldn't this be better asked in the bitminter forum? M
