Is anyone else seeing high CPU usage? I have 70% + being used on a quad core, for example. Mining BeamAlgoII

Can't post an image as I apparently still do not have enough cred  

On the bright side, the latest version has been completely stable for me and I see maybe 1 rejected share every few days. Great work!

Hi $@X,
thank you for letting us know.
Are you experiencing higher CPU usage in the latest version, when compared to the previous one? Is it happening only with Beam algorithm?
We expected this to be solved already.
Did you noticed a difference with latest driver, as suggested by joseph32?
We keep looking into this.
Cheers

I guess nicehash fixed their shit, I havent seen another worker error in a while.
I see 40-50% cpu usage on G4400 dual core for 6 1080tis.  70% seems high on a quad core if on all cores

Hi fr4nkthetank,
Thanks you for the feedback!
Good that it works now, did it happen again?
Cheers

[miniZ]

If you see high CPU usage, go back to 430.86. Seems a bug in the newest driver.

I tried to update some 7 and 13 GPU rigs and all got instant 100% CPU load with that crap driver. Back to 430.86 and everything is fine again.

Hi joseph32,
thank you for the information, this may be relevant for others!

no http or socket api interface , we can't get miner speed, shares, rejected... etc.

Hi cnminer,
How are you trying to connect?

Example (Linux):

Code:

curl --silent rig2:20000 -X '{"id":"0", "method":"getstat"}'

Hi everyone,
Thank you for your feedback!

You can find  miniZ v1.5q6 here.
We made improvements to address some of the issues you have reported.

In brief:
* Performance improvement for 192,7. (Up to 4% on RTX)
* Added --jobtimeout, --retries, --retrydelay for (re)connection customization.
* Added --cleanjobs for miner to only accept clean jobs.
* Better connection handling.
* Bug fixes.

For additional information check our Usage or FAQ pages.
Let us know how it goes!

Happy mining!

Great job on the perf improvement on 192,7 for both RTX and GTX. I run some RTX 2060 Super and a couple GTX 1660 Ti and the + 4% is real.

This is some serious work you've done here. Kudos!!

PS: didn't see the info about this release on your Twitter

Hi crypt_fr,
Thanks for the feedback!
You are right, we've just posted a Tweet
Cheers

Tried few miniz version on Ubuntu 16.04 cuda 10.1 drivers all crash with core dump.... any sugestion?

[fr4nkthetank]

Yup happened once again, but its infrequent.

In some rigs, this problem occurs with the latest version of the Nvidia driver. Try rolling back the driver version to an older one.

Thanks for 1.5q6 : little improvement for my 1070 ti (efficient almost)

I try using miniz on pool new nicehash

Code:

miniz/1.5q6/miniZ -cd 7 --par=BeamHashII --server beamv2.eu-new.nicehash.com --port 3378 --user MYWALLET.MYWORKER --telemetry=0

I check version 1.5q2 and 15q6
after run me see error:

why I see this error - other miner work fine.

--par=150,5,3 maybe and take -new off I dont think you need it anymore

[ayiphelmy]

some gpu stop mining on 12 gpu rig.... and the miner not restart when mining zero.... can u fix this?

[Alex356]

Hi! I keep on getting the same mistake with Miniz 1.4 mining zelcash: "cuda error 4...error in line 864". The rig consists of 6x1080, drivers updated. Please specify what does it mean?

Hi reb0rn21,
thanks for the information. We will investigate this.
Could you give us some information? Which GPUs are you using?
Also, could you paste here the output of running:
 

Code:

./miniZ -ci

and
 

Code:

./miniZ --version

Cheers

[miniZ]

Yup happened once again, but its infrequent. 

Hi fr4nkthetank,
thanks for the feedback.
Still we will check it out.
Do you have any suggestion for this? Maybe we can find some workaround.
Cheers

Hi artful,
Have you tried somaton suggestion?

BeamV2

Code:

stratum+tcp://beamv2.LOCATION.nicehash.com:3378

It seems that nicehash has changed the server address.
Let us know if it helped.
Cheers

Hi somaton, fr4nkthetank,
Thanks a lot for sharing this information!
Indeed, it looks like Nicehash has changed the server address for Beam (150,5,3).
