GPU plot generator v3.0.0
This version comes with a multi-GPU support and greatly enhance the global memory consumption (on both CPU and GPU side). I hope that it will fix the bad performances of NVidia cards (I need some feedback on that point).
This version also add a [verify] command to verify a plotted file against a reference file (a C-plotted file for example).
A big thank you to Palad1n for his help on the qualification phase of this version.
With this new version, we hit the maximum bandwidth of a standard mechanical HDD (around 20k nonces/minutes ~= 83MB/s).
We made a test with a SSD disk too, with only one 280x we touch the 33k nonces/minutes.
As the HDD is now bottleneck, there are two options:
- Use faster hardware (SSD). It is up to you to test it
Feel free to share your experience on the forum (hardware configuration, nonces/minutes obtained).
- Write to multiple disks at the same time (I will put this on the roadmap).
Changelog:
- Multi-GPU support.
- [devices.txt] configuration file added.
- verify command added.
- list command split in two (listPlatforms and listDevices).
- More details added in listDevices command.
- Correlation between <staggerSize> and <globalWorkSize> removed.
- OpenCL error codes displayed for better debugging.
- Details added in usages.
- README updated and improved.
- CHANGELOG file added.
- CREDITS file added.
- LICENSE file added.
