Did you use a different address for each drive?

I keep getting this error now when I issue the "make" command:

Linking [bin/gpuPlotGenerator.exe]
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lopencl
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [bin/gpuPlotGenerator.exe] Error 1

I've tried Googling the error and see that a bunch of posts on the issue, but can't seem to correct this "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lopencl" error. Any suggestions?

The correction for that particular error is to use "-lOpenCL" instead (assuming you've installed opencl with "sudo apt-get install ocl-icd-libopencl1" first.)

However, I found the makefile is incompatible with linux.  It may work better if you change the "CC"s to "C++", but I haven't tried.  I did get it to compile with the single command

Code:

g++ -ansi -pedantic -W -Wall -std=c++0x gpuPlotGenerator.cpp -lOpenCL

I also had to do "( cd kernel && ln -s ../nonce.cl )", since it seems to expect to find the file there (In my version, it's in the root dir.)  Then the command "./gpuPlotGenerator ./plots/ 0 10 10 10 10" ran without errors (on an NVIDIA GTX Black.)

Edit: However, when I try something more substantial, like a stagger size of 64 and a thread num of 64, I get ">>> [-5] Error in synchronous read".  -5 is out of resources.

Edit 2:  Following the advice here, I added

Code:

			error = clFinish(commandQueue);
			if (error != CL_SUCCESS) {
			  throw opencl_error(error, "Error after running kernel");
			}

in between the clEnqueueNDRangeKernel and clEnqueueReadBuffer calls.  I get error -36, "invalid command queue", which apparently can still mean insufficient resources.  A titan black is pretty beefy, though.

I ran what you suggested:

sudo apt-get install ocl-icd-libopencl1

But I think what got me past the error was the changing of "-lopencl" to "-lOpenCL" (Dang Linux and being case sensitive!). After this, I finally got "make" to work!

I'm not linux-y, so I don't know what running this command does:

Code:

cd kernel && ln -s ../nonce.cl

It appears to change directory into the kernel folder (assuming you are already in the root of the gpu plotter folder). The second part of the command... this creates a link somewhere?? I run that command and I get this:

ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘./nonce.cl’: File exists

I tried running the gpu plot generator anyways, and I get this:

HD6950 2GB and HD6970 don't work with the gpu plotter, even on 13.9 with APP SDK 2.9.1. It freezes and probably because of the architecture isn't GCN/compute based like the 7xxx's and R series AMD's. I tried to even use 512 stagger size and 8 threads as the lowest settings. So, no go at the moment with VLIW cards at the moment. This might work on the 750/750ti, just an assumption.

I didnt change anything for the new plots im generating on the new 2 drives.  Are you saying the nonces will be same as the first drive I created them on all doing the same thing? Doesn't sound right.....  Maybe if I used one instance miner per drive right?

I'm not linux-y, so I don't know what running this command does:

ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘./nonce.cl’: File exists

Can you let me know which version you downloaded, so I know we're talking about the same thing?

The "cd" command lets the program find the kernel code where it expects to.  You could probably also change "loadSource("kernel/nonce.cl")" in the .cpp file to the correct relative path for nonce.cl.

If you generated the nonces with exactly the same command, the nonces should be the same.

gpuPlotGenerator-src-1.1.0.7z

In that version the nonce.cl file is in the Kernel folder...

OK, I used the wrong command to extract the archive ("7z e <filename>").  The cd command is not necessary.

[omgbossis21]

Yeah they were the same damn it.  I started the 2nd drive off where the first one would of left it off so no overlap there.  The 3rd drive I had no idea where the nonces would of left off so hopefully I picked a high enough number to start so they don't overlap

[sickfancy]

i too just switched to solo mining,

  i thought you used to see a deadline while solo mining? what happened to it?

i tried solo but the deadline i submitted is like 10 - 100 times i submit to pool. I tried it for around 10 blocks but the deadline is really high. Not sure if solo can read plot properly. i went back to pool.

I switched to pool two days ago then just went back to solo.  I'm now also noticing that my deadline is 100 times I submit to pool.  This doesn't make sense.  I'll continue to solo to see if this is just pure luck.

[Razerglass]

so everyone who has nonce 1-1,000,000 will have a different deadline right?

Did you use a different address for each drive?

my question was if everyone had a different address but used the same nonce will the deadline be random or because i started a 0 like everyone else were all having the same dealine?

my wallet has a dozen harddrives from 0- to like 50million~

cool. any idea on the ">>> Unable to open the source file" ??

this too is something i wondered. so judging on whats been said already running 1 hdd theoretically as 5 plots nonce 0-100 101-200 201-300 3001-400 401-500 although correct no overlaps would not be as good as say 100 random small plot files of say nonce 0-10 50-60 500-510 and so on totally random. (it was my thought the 0-100 was just "slots" in which a nonce was placed like aisles and shelf numbers in a warehouse.)

The deadline is high in solo could be because the miner is not reading all plot properly. Deadline is a product of existing plot. I obverse for many blocks and the deadline for solo doesn't not make any sense. It is as though the plot is less than 50 gb. The deadline is way too high.

[regtable69]

side note i just got a random 77 coins from the pool cryptoport?!?!? anyone else there get not the 250+ like i was told they pay out at?

so if everyone starts at nonce 0 pretty much whoever gets further in the nonces will have different deadlines than everyone else or are they unique per account id?

[BurstBurst]

Got 3.4 TB I'm was able to get 3000 BURST per day now so at current rate of 0.00000400 BTC will be able to get 0.012 BTC per day. Profitable coin with little electric cost to mined.

they are unique per account id, when they submit the shares, they submit like, account_num:nounce, so, to the sever, all your miners submit the acount_num:nounce, so, no matter where your mine, diffierent miner or in different computer, all plots should not overlap, the reason i say they are unique because: when you solo, you will find there are mostly depends your lucky, for exsample, all of us start from 0, but if every one have 1T, if the nounce are the same, so every one will share the same deadline, that's impossible, because if nounce is same, then everyone's result are the same.everyone will get the same block
