Not possible, but why not keep it simple and just use --load-balance (check --help to confirm that is right)?  Should be about 50/50 even if both GPUs work on both pools.  Alternatively, why not run two instances?  Are you on Windows?  If so, run two instance's puddinpop's miner b/c it is the only one I have seen that doesn't use CPU in Windows, and using CPU is expensive whether it is finding shares or not.

EDIT:  IOW, for your example above:
cgminer --load-balance -g 1 -o <http1> -O <u1>:<p1> -o <http2> -O <u2>:<p2>

It's a debian, and i got some stuff 'going on' already (many processes) and i'd like to save in what i can, but i guess i'll just put the 2 on screen if needed.
I'll try --load-balance, thanks for the tip, cheers!

Why the frell so many retards spell "ect" as an abbreviation of "Et Cetera"? "ETC", DAMMIT! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Et_cetera

Same here, just crashes without generating the kernel binary.
Using Catalyst 11.8 Preview / SDK 2.5 Win7 x64.

Is there a way to set a different username/password for each GPU so I know what's working and what's not from my pool workers page?

Nice edit.  Tongue  Glad you figured out your original issue.  Regarding this one, you could run separate instances with a specific GPU selected for each instance.  If you want it all in one instance, you brought up a good reason why it would be useful to choose resources per worker in the command line.  Unfortunately, I don't think it's currently possible (refer to my response to another question in this thread just a few posts up).

Unable to launch 1.5.3 on windows x64 sp1 too... hm. Rolling back to 1.5.1. It seems to me that the problem is with loading phatk kernel, because it works just fine with poclbm.

I tried w/ both kernels and still crashed =(

I'll build my own version of win binary on weekend (and potentially get rid of call the GPU rendering feature Smiley

I also tested yrcros's version and it also crashed on me, but i can verify my compiled 1.5.3 works and so can another user who i sent it prior to posting here. I've provided a link to it in the first post of this page.

Sadly, i am not the dev, but if you have some trust, try it.

I am unable to get it to cpu mine...wtf...says no opencl.dll found??  Any fix for this...

I just downloaded opencl driver  and installed it and now it works...why does cpu need opencl??  this is bug?

this cpu miner is not as good as urfasoft's....much slower..factor of 2 or 3 slower...wow.

Try the 4way algorithm. You are probably using the regular C implementation of SHA256

Using catalyst 11.6, xfce, sdk 2.5, current cgminer running in xterm - it seems to crash after running for minutes or hours, plmk if others are having this issue.

Also, anyone have an analysis of the scan-time feature and how 60 was chosen as default.
Same for retries, kernel, queue (why it goes all the way to zero and then up to 7).

Also, how long does it take to switch to higher priority pools (in failover) and how exactly the threads choose which pool for all the methods.

Also, does it donate shares to the developer?

Thanks!

Since Con is away...

I thought I'd take a try at integrating some of the recent changes in both phatk kernel threads. (here and here)
I've also changed the method used to specify various #defines for the kernels by simply specifying the defines as build options for clBuildProgram() instead of editing the .cl text on the fly. (so much simpler!)

Compared to the current kernel in cgminer 1.5.3, this does benefit from reduced ALU OPs, although not as much as either of the other phatk kernels:

1.5.3:
VLIW4: 1699 ALU OPs
VLIW5: 1376 ALU OPs

Mine:
VLIW4: 1694 ALU OPs
VLIW5: 1368 ALU OPs

My changes are here at github, but it's all in one big ugly commit, and not broken out by the individual changes, so i don't feel comfortable in the slightest offering a pull request to CK for it.

trojan..lol.  You degenerates need to get out more often...regardless,..the urfasoft miner is working much better so I have left the cgminer alone.  It's cpu implementation should be rewritten or disabled..dreadful.
