BAMT version 0.5 - Easy USB based mining Linux with farm wide management tools

[rjk]

As mentioned multiple times in this thread, do not change profiles 0 and 1 unless you need to.

I am going to make this bigger and uglier every time.  Fair warning.

Put it in the thread title?

Yeah I don't want to waste your time but like I said I readed the thread and tried lots of different config.

gpu3:
  disabled: 0

  # core_speed_0: 300
  # core_speed_1: 600
  core_speed_2: 900
  mem_speed_0: 300
  mem_speed_1: 300
  mem_speed_2: 300
  # core_voltage_0: 1.125
  # core_voltage_1: 1.125
  # core_voltage_2: 1.125000

This is not working either. I tried also commenting mem_speed_2 and lower OC.

try it like that? ^

thats a lot more likely to work than any profile that sets profile 0 and 1 unnecessarily.

are you sure you need to be setting mem clocks in 0 and 1?  don't if you do not have to.

This is the updated config I am trying:

gpu3:
  disabled: 0

  # core_speed_0: 300
  # core_speed_1: 600
  core_speed_2: 900
  # mem_speed_0: 300
  # mem_speed_1: 300
  mem_speed_2: 300
  # core_voltage_0: 1.125
  # core_voltage_1: 1.125
  # core_voltage_2: 1.125000

  fan_speed: 85

  kernel: phatk2
  kernel_params: BFI_INT VECTORS FASTLOOP=false AGGRESSION=11

  pool_file: /etc/bamt/pools
  pool_timeout: 180

  monitor_temp_lo: 45
  monitor_temp_hi: 80
  monitor_load_lo: 80
  monitor_hash_lo: 125
  monitor_fan_lo: 2000
  monitor_reject_hi: 1
  debug_oc: 1

I will now try to remove every cards except the 5850 and work from there.

why don't you focus on one item at a time.  start with the core speed.  don't try to jack it up as far as you can, just see if you can reliably change it from the default to a little higher. 

once that works, do the same for mem speed.  make sure you are able to change the values a little before you go hog wild and shoot for the Mh/s record.

one item at a time, slowly towards your goal.  this is the only way to determine where the limitation lies.

[01BTC10]

Thank's a lot for your support. Like I said I tested a LOT of different settings but I will not post all of them.

I already OC that card before with CGminer way higher.

I cant be more gentle than trying to increase clock by 10MHz 

gpu3:
  disabled: 0

  # core_speed_0: 300
  # core_speed_1: 600
  core_speed_2: 735
  # mem_speed_0: 300
  # mem_speed_1: 300
  # mem_speed_2: 300
  # core_voltage_0: 1.125
  # core_voltage_1: 1.125
  # core_voltage_2: 1.125000

--[ Debug info for O/C on GPU 3 ]------------------------------------------------

GPU is enabled, overclocking is enabled

OC command - profile 2: DISPLAY=:0.0 /usr/local/bin/atitweak -P 2 -A 3 -e 735

Results:
Setting performance level 2 on adapter 3: engine clock 735MHz
ADL_Overdrive5_ODPerformanceLevels_Set failed.

I will try to focus only on this card by disconnecting all the others one. Maybe it's a wiring problem.

so.. maybe pick your battles and just use cgminer instead of phoenix?  then you don't have to do any o/c with bamt's tools, just let cgminer do it.

Did anyone crank out loud at this EPIC post ?

I'm glad you enjoyed. I still have issue with english writing but not with reading comprehension.

Required to make 79xx cards work in BAMT:  
A few hours of my time, and a 79xx card to do proper testing with.  I'll donate the time if the hardware is provided, this is my standard offer for most things.  
Cost to implement:  ~ 120 BTC (or a 7970).

Required to provide a 64 bit version that parallels the 32 bit version ("provide" meaning I have to create the initial image and then also test and release updates for it, which doubles the work I have to do now to support BAMT):  Several hours of my time initially to create and test a current 64bit image, then continued time to support it.  
Cost to implement initially:  100 BTC.  Cost to maintain will vary but should be about 20 BTC per month if new features and updates come out at typical intervals.

If you would like to donate towards these goals, just use the standard BAMT donation address:

1PoRYaGS56ksQmK7XXLurW3B2zwCAE8PRc

but be sure to PM me or somehow let me know what feature you desire so I can attribute it properly.

you can also request any other feature you can dream of, and I will give you a quote for the work.

HEY!  We are going to make a 30 BTC contribution, of the 120 BTC required to make 79xx work in BAMT.  

Who is willing to contribute towards this goal?  We wasted like 4 days trying to get this working and we benefit from BAMT enough to justify helping the development process like this.

Cool.  I will put all donations to the BAMT account towards this goal until you reach it.   (unless the contributor specifies another goal they'd prefer, of course).
Don't expect much though..  grand total of 2.00025 donated in the past 2 weeks.  And yes, the 0.00025 portion was all in one donation.. a bit overwhelming to see someone show that kind of appreciation!

[TheHarbinger]

Hell, I don't even use BAMT anymore and I sent a donation in a while back.  Hard to believe that you have only gotten 2 BTC in two weeks when I know there are people running 20Gh/s setups with it.


Come on you cheap fuckers.

[fourd00rgtz]

I'm gonna donate my NMC payout for the last week or so.

[Joshwaa]

I will send in the morning when I get to my wallet.

Hey guys, I have put the file on my VPS which has a 500mbit line.

Just sent in 10BTC. (For 7970's & 64-bit BAMT!) Will send more soon.

Ok, marked it down.  Between committed and donated we are at 42 btc and change.

Could you also integrate a litecoin CPU miner? How much more trouble are we talking?

Also could Diablominer be implemented?

Nothing prevents you from installing any software you'd like on BAMT.  Just follow the directions like any other Linux box.

If you want these programs integrated with the BAMT monitoring tools etc like Phoenix and cgminer have been, you're looking at several hours of work.  My rate is 20btc/hr, I'd guess 250btc would be a rough estimate for integrating a new mining platform.

[Joshwaa]

ok If we get the 7970 package paid for I will consider that one next.
