Claymore's CryptoNote AMD GPU Miner v11.3

[songjuhee]

Pardon my ignorance what is a pagefile size?? and how can I try 40GB

thx

Pagefile = virtual memory

right click my computer/this pc (on windows 10) - properties - advanced system settings - click tab advance - in performance click settings and you can set the pagefile manually

put 3000 to 40000 or directly 40000 to 40000

Guys,

I'm running a 10 cards rig 8*RX580-4G + 2*RX570-8G + RX480 @ core/mem 1200/2000, 1750 strips. Right now I'm using SimpleMining OS. Had no issues when mining with XMR-STAK, but after changed to claymore v10.2; with these settings, I start noticing rig freezes and miner reboots.

Noticed that by deafault, Claymore V10.2 was passaing the -h 900 & -h 1800 to the 4G and 8G cards respectively. I've downgraded the "-h" parameter to 850 & 1700 respectively @ core/mem 1200/1900 , and it seems to do the trick.

Question, what the heck is the -h? and what it does precisely?

Another question... if I want to configure the failover in SimleMining, whats the path to upload the epools.txt file? anyone knows?

Best.

I'm using Simplemining OS as well and have issues with the miner constantly freezing and reboot. The other issue I get is the miner will restart but the initializing will fail and the miner will be stuck at mining 0H/s.

I've never played with the -h value. On page 1 it says -h deals with # of hashes that the GPU processes so it probably has to do with how intense you run the cards. I'm going to play with this as well and see how it changes. Sucks that you had to downgrade the cards to 1200/1900, I would have hoped that you can at least run at 2000 mem speed. Have you tried to play with the voltage levels?

What do you have your -allpools set to? Right now my settings are this:

-wd 1 -r 0 -xpool stratum+ssl://cryptonight.usa.nicehash.com:33355 -xwal [yourwallet].$rigName -xpsw x -allpools 0

I'm running RX570 4G at 1150/1750/1000mV and RX580 8G at 1200/2050/1000mV.

Hello everyone,

I'm getting started with mining using a pool for this new coin called Electroneum.  I've basically did everything basic in configuring the start.bat file and adding the pool info in conf.txt.  it starts up but i am not showing any information. I have mined some xvg with my radeon RX 550 but this is what i get with claymore...

OpenCL initializing...

I'm running RX570 4G at 1150/1750/1000mV and RX580 8G at 1200/2050/1000mV.

I had that behaviour when moved to claymore v10.2 but, to be honnest I had a superior speed with it.  Like you, sometimes the miner restart and stay freezed at 0H/s as well. The only way of getting out of this state was rebooting the whole rig. And by rebooting, i mean shutting it off, wait 2-3s in power-off and then rebooting. Lowering the "-h" parameter bring more stability to the system. So, my current onfiguration is:

Cards: RX580-4G,RX580-4G,RX580-4G,RX570-8G,RX570-8G,RX580-4G,RX580-4G,RX580-4G,RX580-4G,RX480-4G

As you can see, you can pass to the miner a comma separated values in that each one is to a specific card from my list above. For reference, the default "-h" value  for the 4Gigs cards is "900" and "1800" for the 8Gigs.

My current frequencies for each card are:
CORE: 1200,1200,1200,1200,1200,1200,1200,1200,1200,1200

Hope this help

Can anyone confirm what's the "-h" is doing behind the scenes? and why lowering it a bit bring more stability?

Hello everyone,
What am i missing?

Are you sure that you are starting correct program (cryptonote and not claymore's dual ethereum miner)?
There is no asm param in Cryptonote.
apart from that (if you are starting cryptonote), include

Code:

-asm 0

in your batch string, although i am not sure if it would help since there is no asm param visible in description.

In addition, read post #1, especially regarding virtual memory allocation.

regarding quoted, read post #1, it explains it quite nicely.

[BSAlex]

AMD Cards available: 1
GPU #0: gfx804, 4096 MB available, 8 compute units

What am i missing?

No support for RX550 card (no ASM binary) in version 10.2
Try 9.7, it work for older cards with the same issue but I have no chance to try RX550.

HI!

R9 fury dont work on this version.

Automatically r9 fury 4gb hbm is defined by the miner with the following parameters -h1800 -dmem 1 which is 8gb of gpu memory. You have to start only with your custom settings and this is very annoying especially when using miner nicehash for windows.

Thanks for your reply!... yeah, i read "-h   number of hashes that GPU processes during one round. If not specified, default value is used. For many cases you can increase performance by adjusting this parameter value. For example, "-h 832" means HashCnt=832 for all cards. You can also specify values for every card, for example "-h 640,832,1376,0", zero value means autoselection."

When looking into Core/mem frequencies, I fully understand the physical implications of parameters like mem speed, noise, power and frequency... and the implications of those variables on some miscalculations that lead to an error. But didn't get what this parameter does at low level... what's a "one round"? The hashes take always the same time to process? Difficult don't make it more difficult to processed it?

Thx!

just add -h 900 (or whatever) to your bat file string.

I have an unmodded 480RX 8 GB and restarted mining after a few months of pause. Only v9.6 works for me on miningpoolhub with -nofee 1.
Too bad, that the CPU miner hasn't been updatet yet. Only option is - nofee 1.

You can get CPU miner here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1326803.0
It should be well maintained(last time I checked few months back) and have adequate performance and a lot of different algoes and optimizations supported

40GB is an overkill. I've got it working just fine (on dual ETH) with 30GB (28 works too, but 24 doesn't:) with 12GPUs on 8GB RAM system

Any help greatly appreciated, thanks.

My 470 8GB x6 rigs need at least 48GB pagefile to mine at optimal speed (~940H/s).  Eth I would just do 16GB. I use all 120GB ssds so it's no big deal.

Can anyone confirm what's the "-h" is doing behind the scenes? and why lowering it a bit bring more stability?

Just wanted to update. I tried lowering the -h value on my rigs. I have three different setups:

6x RX570 4G - these are at 1200/1750/1000mV -h 850 -> These have been stable for last 24h, no resets

11x RX570 4G - these are at 1200/1750/1000mV -h 850 -> These have reset 2-4 times over last 24h - Going to test -h 800 to see if I can get better stability

11x RX580 8G - these are at 1200/2000/1000mV -h 1700 -> These have reset 1-2 times over last 24h - Going to test -h 1600 to see if I can get better stability

For the RX570 4G cards, I'm hashing at 644, for the RX580 8G cards, I'm hashing at 733. I'm not sure why the RX570 4G have been stable but the RX580 8G have not. Hopefully this next test shows a better result.

I'm not sure if there's a way to increase the virtual memory on SMOS. My rigs use 8G of physical RAM (tho I just realized that both my 6x and 11x rigs both are using 8G of RAM so maybe I should increase my 11x rigs to 16G of RAM). I'm not using SSDs either, SMOS is being booted from a 16G 3.0 USB drive. I'm not sure if 16G of physical RAM would increase stability as I used to mine Ethereum with these rigs and they have been stable with far more aggressive settings. The RX570 4G were at 1150/1750/950mV and the RX580 8G were at 1150/2100/950mV and the systems were stable for 100+ hours with no resets.

so do i, my 580 x5 need almost 40GB pagefile (38,xxxxx)

i think i am not alone getting "WATCHDOG: GPU x hangs in OpenCL call, exit" message. Restart in every few hours or sometimes every minutes.. but mostly happened in gpu 0/1 (with long type pci-ex slot/pci-ex x16), maybe i'll try to only use x1 type pci-ex..
