[BBR] Boolberry GPU Miner Discussion - AMD & Nvidia - OpenCL & CUDA

[clintar]

I do keep getting this error and miner dying every once in a while

Code:

 [GPU0] error:  CL_INVALID_WORK_GROUP_SIZE

Command i'm running is

Code:

./minerd -a wildkeccak_ocl -o stratum+tcp://bbr.cncoin.farm:8888 -u [ADDRESS] -p x  -k http://bbr.farm/scratchpad.bin -l ~/scratchpad.bin

[whyyk7]

me too..

[mbk]

Fixed the bug. Binary release updated.

Looks like bad performance on 290x - about 1 Mh\s, same as 280x

And some issues with disconnects on different pools - every 20-40 seconds i get

Code:

[2014-08-14 23:55:56.143] Re-login, disconnecting...
[2014-08-14 23:55:56.144] Re-connect... and relogin...

That's normal with these miners

Edti: Ok, I stand corrected. I assumed this was normal, but I guess this ISN'T supposed to be happening. I'm investigating this now.

Hello mbk。I run newest miner.

   Why the first computer buffer size is 1791m but another is 1024m?

[mbk]

It depends on driver, environment variables and system memory amount so I guess something's different in your systems. Anyway we don't use large GPU memory buffers so it doesn't matter at all. The code is from my other miner that used a lot of GPU memory.

It looks like miner doesn't work. You should look at miner initialization messages.

OpenCL version uses extended config. Ordinary version overwrites it if you run it later and use the same directory. Use different directories if you need both versions. Look at command line options.
