This is same rig with same OC / power settings. 6.1 is not working 6.0 is working. We found this issue in multiple rigs with 6 or more GPU:s trying to upgrade to 6.1

^^^^

Some additional Info.

The 1070 Rig has a i7-3770K CPU and the 1070 Ti Rig a Pentium G4400 CPU.

Maybe the 1070 Ti Rig can't handle the CPU Load, thats why the hash rate drops.

I have 2 rigs, one is 6x GTX 1070 and the other one 9x GTX 1070 Ti

With 0.6.1 update:

On the 1070 rig the hash rate went up, but  NOT on the 1070 Ti rig.  Huh

Both rigs are running nvOC (Ubuntu) with 387 driver.

You can see on the 1070 Ti at the start the hash rate is normal, but after 15 min. it drops.

Thank you guys!
Very good result for my rig 6x 1070ti

Equihash algoritm:
Average rate - 3.38 KSol/s
Energy per card - Sol/w 4.20


to get 4 souls/watt on a 1070 ti, means you have the TPD about 58-60% lol you should post you're config cause I just dont see that type of hash rate with that low of TPD.

That is actually not true. I have 6 GTX 1070 Ti and get 4.12 sols/W average between the 6 cards and all of them are running at 70% TDP. The best one it is doing 4.23 sols/W. Have a look




No need to go that low but still I am surprise about the performance difference on the hashrate. I average 3107 maximun 3111 and he is doing 200 more sols average. Are you using Windows or Linux? and what driver version?

Interesting AB settings.  I thought most were closer to this..
power limit 86
temp 72
core clock 133
mem clock 585

.. I tried your settings and output is basically the same... but..
67c   537 sol/s   295 i/s   3.43 s/w   (on my end.. 1080's)

how can i get manual difficulty/static difficulty to pass through?

when I do --pass d=1   it wont take it, even if i do --pass x,d=1

it acts like its not even passing that through and just gives me Varr diff only.

On supernova pools.

very buggy release. i am using hiveos. dstm 0.6.1.

1. gtx1080ti has hashrate around 200 sols
2. ping problem (already reported here before)

Same problem here... With gtx 1060, dstm 0.6.0 i get ~300 sol/s. Now with dstm 0.6.1 i get around 200 sol/s .
Whats wrong?
https://i.imgur.com/UKFqQvW.png

yes i can confirm that.

are those AMD machines ? i have the same effect on 2 other of these cheap AMD machines, but on the modern intel machine with gigabyte D3A H110 it has no issues and the 0.6.1 performs slightly better.

this is with 0.6 (and its even warm).

as inquired the cpu usage of 0.6 and 0.6.1 related to above findings.
0.6.1 has higher peaks ie i see it peak to up to 50% cpu usage at least using "top".

2. ping problem (already reported here before)
I would have to agree. Both of my rugs dropped 500 sols after jumping onto DSTM 0.6.1. I rolled back to 0.6 and my hash rates jumped up where they should be. I only have one rig near me but it’s not by a tv so I’m not sure how I can get the logs if you need them.

New Version 0.6.1
- support configuration of 'temp-target', 'intensity', 'pool' via cmd-line parameters

DSTM, thanks for the new version.  I haven't had any issues with latency on MiningPoolHub, ZPool or NiceHash using Windows 10. However, I do have a quick question regarding latency.  Is 1.0  the default value?  Based on my limited testing, I am assuming it is as any lower value reduces the hash rate, but I would like a quick confirmation of that. Thanks.

I guess you're talking about intensity not latency like you wrote.
Intensity is only used to reduce the GPU load - if you don't set the '--intensity' option the intensity code path isn't used and zm will run as fast as possible.

Sorry about my typo. Yes, I meant intensity and not latency in the second sentence. That’s what I get for not proof-reading.  Thanks for clarifying how your miner uses intensity. Other miners, such as CCMiner, use a default intensity that is often less than the maximum and I wanted to make sure that was not the case with DSTM. Keep up the good work.

So far new version everything is running smooth/solid.

Def like the difficulty addition to show whole numbers instead of random string of characters.

Average rate - 3.38 KSol/s

nice results... how did you do that? care to share your config? Thanks.

I am sorry but 4 post and results nobody is near them with the same cards on different systems. I think you should upload a pic otherwise I just think you are pretty much bluffing...

I have not seen anyone getting that high hashrate and sols/W with GTX 1070 Ti. That combination does not sound right to me

For people having performance issues on 0.6.1/linux.
Is there a significant CPU-load difference between 0.6 / 0.6.1 on your systems?

Hi DSTM,

I noticed quite a difference in CPU usage between 0.6.0 and 0.6.1 running on vanilla Debian 9.4 (Stretch).
Here it goes: https://imgur.com/a/lNtcqlC

I measured the CPU usages with top over a period of time (around 1 minute or so) and took the average.
The behaviour of 0.6.1 running on my miner is that the last GPU (GPU4) is running at 75% of its capacity.
This rig has 4 GTX 1070 and 1 GTX 1080.  One of the 1070s is GPU4.
That's quite odd (considering the high CPU usage of kworker and some IRQs as well with 0.6.1).
GPU Overclock, memory clock, power limit have been kept identical in the two runs (0.6.0 vs 0.6.1).
The only actual difference is zm executable version.

Hope it helps.  Meanwhile, I reverted to 0.6.0 that uses less CPU and provides a higher combined hashrate on my rig.

Thanks for your good work! Cheers!

Thx, that's very helpful.

For people who have performance issues and also have some time to test - pls pm me.

So i get a strange thing happening in 6.1.  I have two 1080ti's on my comp and when i run my second card by itself the output shows only the first line of hash info and then stops displaying any info except for difficulty changes.  The card is hashing and is reporting on the pool but the output display just shows the difficulty changes. If i run my first card by itself and if i run the two cards together they output fine just how they are suppose to.. Must be a little glitch with running dev 1 only i guess. Anyone else running into this?   Great miner by the way..  https://imgur.com/a/BP5ulKB
