Oh yes, a nice Corsair SATA6 SSD 128MB for the OS [swap is on a fast hard disk, but it really doesn't need to swap ]. 7.6 score on Windows 7 with all at 7.9 except the processor is at 7.6 (my i7 760). If I find that I need more processing power, this board will take much improved yet [without a board upgrade].

Is there a way to limit the amount of memory phoenix miner uses? It eventually uses up all my memory and crashes on linux.

Sounds like a python problem. I am not seeing this on any of my machines [all Windows, since I couldn't get near the hash rates on Linux Ubuntu].

If you have the proper version of python installed [which presumably you do as either it was installed as a dependency or compiled as one, depending upon how you put it on your system and the distribution that you use], in the directory where they phoenix.py is located: python ./phoenix.py Or, presumably, the phoenix.py file is marked as executable, and if not, you can mark it that way by: chmod u+x phoenix.py./phoenix.py Or course, pass the command line arguments as required [if you don't know, search the forums]. Good luck.

I cant get this to run on windows XP SP3, catalyst 11.6, stream SDK 2.4, radeon 5830. CPU mining works fine but when i try to mine with [0-0] Cypress, it says 'connected' then [0 hash/s 0 accepted 0 rejected], forever
any ideas?

This has been added to the SVN, and it will be released with a new version shortly. In the mean time, it is possible to edit kernel.cl and apply this change even with the compiled version.

This has been added to the SVN, and it will be released with a new version shortly. In the mean time, it is possible to edit kernel.cl and apply this change even with the compiled version. FWIW, I am finding that Phoenix 1.5 [with optimization in both kernels] runs faster using the poclbm kernel than the phatk kernel on my 6970. Just barely. I don't know if this will reflect in reduced stales or not. 1128 (0.35%) Prop. 6970 894 (0.11%) Prop. 5850 934 (0.00%) Prop. 5850 Note that before the change, I was using the POCLBM miner itself for my 6970 and I usually get 0.25-0.40% with Deepbit, but when I used Phoenix 1.5 (poclbm ... phatk I never tried with 1.5 since it was always considerable slower in previous Phoenix versions), I saw slower rates [similar to the POCLBM miner], but high stale rates [over 1.0-1.5%]. All based on a stable Deepbit The other miners, the 5850s, always used Phoenix with the phatk kernel [and thus used 1.5 since I learned of it several days ago] and I was seeing somewhere in the realm of 0.6-1.0% IIRC. So, this fix has obviously affected stale rates. Having said that, running with the poclbm kernel on my 6970 for just a few minutes has already resulted in a valid stale [not the local stale I reported earlier]. I will continue to run the phatk kernel I think, but for some, the poclbm kernel should still be considered on the 69xx series ... I may make some test runs myself, but first, I need to vet phatk and phoenix 1.5 (patched) against more hostile "environments" Rock and roll!

I have some 6950 and i manually changed the kernel line. Miners are actually faster and my stale rate _is_ normal (0.3% - 0.6% after 8h).

I am trying to figure out the idle bug / help figure it out. I have phoenix running from source. added some log commands: Miner.py: def idleFixer(self): self.logger.log("idleFixer: called") if self.idle: self.logger.log("idleFixer: requesting") self.connection.requestWork() reactor.callLater(15, self.idleFixer) self.logger.log("idleFixer: done")

what does that tell me? idleFixer is being called after the problem occurs but does not help. idleFix is not being called. any suggestions for debugging? are there any RPC status infos that I could have it spit out?

The code you modified was my last ditch effort to create a workaround for the idle problem. As you can see, it didn't work. I have given up on the current RPCProtocol design because it doesn't work, and without the original developer present I can't seem to fix it. Personally I think the issue lies somewhere in the modification to the Twisted.web library to enable persistent connections. I am working on a complete rewrite for RPCProtocol, but I'm not exactly an expert on netcode so it's taking a bit of time. Expect a release sometime in the next 2 weeks.

On both of my mining machines it appears that after 12+hrs the miners slow down by 5-10%. You can see this represented in the MSI Afterburner GPU Usage % graphs here: http://imgur.com/RCMZ4 The very spikey GPU usage on the left is when i logged into my machine after it was running for 20hrs and on the right was after I restarted the miner clients. This has been happening for weeks, I restart my miners every day because of it. Any idea what the cause is? It is going from a constant 98-100% GPU usage to 89-100% gpu usage spikes.

any ideas to reach 300+Mhash/sec on a 6870 using Phoenix 1.5? running stock voltages and clock speeds I'm only getting 265Mhash/sec any way to get that up to 300 w/o overclocking? (don't want to shorten the life of the card) if not, then what should i overclock/underclock to hit 300Mhash/sec? rig specs: Ubuntu 11.04 2x HIS PCI-Express ATI Radeon HD6870 Video Card (Engine Clock: 900 MHz; Video Memory: 1GB DDR5; Memory Clock: 4.2 GHz; RAMDAC: 400 MHz) AMD Sempron 140, Socket AM3, 2.7 GHz, 1 MB Cache, 45 Watts ASRock AM3 processors AMD 770-140W 4DDR3/ATI CrossFireX motherboard Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500 GB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s with NCQ 16MB Cache Kingston ValueRAM 2 GB 1333MHz PC3-10600 DDR3 DIMM Desktop Memory Thermaltake V3 Black Edition SECC / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case Antec EA-650 Green ATX Energy Star Certified Power Supply running: python phoenix.py -u http://user:pass@server:8832 -k phatk VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=12 DEVICE=0 thanks in advanced!
