Phoenix 2 Miner v2.0.0

[ssateneth]

I know, it can be hard to with "recovering" a failed device compared to other more robust miners like CGMiner, but thats something you just have to live with. I have a 6 card rig that I check once a day, and I just check to see if all 6 cards have submitted anything recently; if not, I note the missing GPU, flash a BIOS with slightly changed clocks, reboot, and good to go another day.

If for whatever reason I need to run 2 different instances of phoenix, I make 2 seperate folders. Also, you really only need to declare arguments that are relevant. If you are manually setting things, you dont need autoconfigure or autodetect. I find that whatever I haven't set compared to your cfg just doesnt need to be defined or changed.

edit: i realized I may have not answered your original question. I don't experience any hash rate drops or misplaced shares or anything like that on my gaming PC (2 cards, 1 is dedicated, running a separate instance for each GPU). Hashrates are as expected for each card and don't seem to "merge" into a different card at random like you describe.

fakeedit2: You mention "creating multiple backends to allow for seperate workers" and "run multiple instances of phoenix 2". Isn't that the same thing?

Thanks ssateneth.  What you posted got me thinking, and I figured it out.  For reference, my system has three 5970s and is running LinuxCoin.

In order to have multiple instances of Phoenix2 runnning, I have to disable all of the OpenCL devices except the one that I want to use in that instance of Phoenix2.  There's no need to put the config files in different folders in my environment.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env phoenix

[general]
    autodetect = +cl -cpu #Use autodetect for all OpenCL devices, except those which are CPUs.
    verbose = True #Enable verbose logging?
    backend = http://***:***@us3.eclipsemc.com:8337 #The primary backend.
    backups = http://***:***@us2.eclipsemc.com:8337 http://***:***@us.ozco.in:8332 http://***:***@deepbit.net:8332 #A space seperated list of backup servers.
    failback = 600 #Seconds between attempts to reconnect to primary backend when using backups. (0 to disable)
    queuesize = 1 #Target/maximum size of the queue
    queuedelay = 5 #Seconds before work expires to request more work (WARNING: don't change this unless you know what you are doing!)
    statusinterval = 1 #Seconds between statusbar updates
    ratesamples = 10 #Number of samples to average for hashrate reporting
    logfile = 0-phoenix_logfile #Set this option to log to a file.
[cl:0:0]
    autoconfigure = False #Automatically configure this device?
    kernel = phatk2 #The kernel to use for the device
    name = GPU 0 #The name to display the device as (default is device ID if not specified)
    start_undetected = False #Do not start the kernel if the device is not present
    disabled = False #Disable this device?
    worksize = 256 #Work group size, tweaking this option may improve performance
    vectors = True #Use unit2 vectors? (enable this or vectors4, not both)
    vectors4 = False #Use uint4 vectors? (enable this or vectors, not both)
    bfi_int = True #Use BFI_INT instruction on ATI VLIW GPUs?
    goffset = True #Use OpenCL 1.1 global offset?
    fastloop = False #Use fast internal loop? (ideal for low aggression)
    aggression = 11 #Number of nonces to test per kernel execution (lower value = less desktop lag, higher value = higher hashrate)
[cl:0:1]
    disabled = True
[cl:0:2]
    disabled = True
[cl:0:3]
    disabled = True
[cl:0:4]
    disabled = True
[cl:0:5]
    disabled = True

If I don't disable the other OpenCL devices, I get the "cross-talk" I was referring to in my previous post.  Below is what it looks like.

Has anyone run this on an iMac with an AMD Radeon HD 6750M (or just OS X Lion, in general) and have any config options to share? Thanks!

[dlasher]

Odd error, not sure what to make of it.

Fedora14 box, mixed 5830/5850/6950. Aside from being about 200mhz slow vs cgminer, I'm seeing this:

Ideas?

[sanchaz]

Each device is given a unique device ID. For OpenCL the format works like this:
[class:platform:device]

So [cl:0:0] refers to OpenCL device 0 of platform 0.

[cpu:0] Is a generic identifier for the CPU.

What exactly is the platform?
And how can it change to 1 0 or any other value?

thx

This probably won't help, but here's what I know. 

For one of my rigs running LinuxCoin, which has three 5970s (6 GPUs total), the OpenCL devices (GPUs) are identified as follows:

[cl:0:0] 
[cl:0:1]
[cl:0:2]
[cl:0:3]
[cl:0:4]
[cl:0:5]

I do not know what the first number after "cl" means or how it could be anything other than 0.  See, I told you this might not help.

failback = 600 <--Is this the default value?  I can't remember if I changed mine or not.

I always thought the first digit after the "cl" refered to the platform of GPU you have.  Like you'd see different numbers in there if your rig had 5XXX series cards mixed in with 6XXX series cards. iono for sure though.

Yeah, that sounds like the right idea to me.

Nope. AMD APP isn't the only OpenCL computing platform. There is also ATI Stream (also known as SDK 2.1, and yes it IS a seperate platform from AMD APP which is SDK 2.4 and higher), and Intel opencl, and probably many others. I have 2.1 and 2.6 installed on the same computer. Platform 0 for me is SDK 2.6, and platform 1 is SDK 2.1. I have both installed because 2.1 is faster, but isn't normally detected by some miners unless AMD APP is installed too.

Hi!

I just started using this miner, because i continued mining after 6 months.
I figured out almost all the settings (the documentation needs to be more detailed, i think).

With a HD5970 and a HD6850 wich "vectors" should i use?

Sorry about my english

[Math Man]

For my 5970s, I use unit2 vectors.  I seem to remember testing unit4 vectors when it was first added to the kernel and getting  a lower hash rate.  I could be wrong, but I think unit4 vectors were introduced to take advantage of the 6000 series architecture.

Test both of the vectors out for a few minutes.  You should be able to easily tell which one will give you the best hash rate for each of your cards.

[telegdyd]

Thanks.
My 5970's are giving a lower hashrate with unit4 vectors, but i didnt tested only with my 6850 yet.
I'm going to test it tomorrow.

I just found all of my phoenix 2.0.0 miners at 0 Khash/s, and this was on multiple machines.

They were mining Eligius with p2pool as fallback.  Here is a sample of the log output.  Restarting the program fixed the problem.  Could this be a bug in Phoenix?

In Windows this happens:

It's a bit different in Linux, I actually get a stack trace:

No news on this?  Am I the only one getting this?  I've tried other pools and it still happens.  Connection/pool issues seem to trigger it though.

Is Phoenix 2 even actively maintained/developed anymore?

[Chaseshaw]

Does 2.0.0 offer any hashing improvements over 1.7.x?

Can someone who has it working answer this? Is it worth the upgrade?

thanks.

It was worth it for me. I'm getting between 20-25 Mhash/s more with a 6870, depending on aggression.

phoenix is very confusing imho.  unless you have the 5000 series, I wouldn't bother with it.

Not really... i pretty much copy pasted the config and made a few changes based on how i want to mine, voila, runs fine..
