Can you explain what exactly is 14+16 or 14-14?
IT IS AN INTENSITY SETTING--
But I only understand as much as the help file explains. A better explanation may come from the developer. It is the "cn_config" parameter, which I bolded in the text below. In Linux, if you type "./teamredminer --help > redhelp.txt, you will have the following help file saved for reference:
Team Red Miner version 0.3.7
Usage: teamredminer [OPTIONS]
Options:
-a, --algo=ALGORITHM Selects the mining algorithm. Currently available
algorithms: lyra2z, phi2, cnv8
-o, --url=URL Sets the pool URL. Currently only stratum+tcp
URLs are supported.
-u, --user=USERNAME Sets the username for pool authorization.
-p, --pass=PASSWORD Sets the password for pool authorization.
--platform=INDEX Sets the index of the OpenCL platform to use.
If not specified, platform will be auto-detected
with a final fallback using index 0.
-d, --devices=DEVLIST Sets gpu devices to use from the OpenCL platform.
DEVLIST should be a comma separated list of device
indices. If not specified, all devices on the
platform will be used. (example: -d 0,1,4).
NOTE: if using --bus_reorder, the indices used are
after reordering. Use --list_devices to show indices.
--rigid Set the rig identifier that will be sent to the pool.
This is only used for cryptonight pools.
--init_style=1/2/3 Specified the init style (1 is default):
1: One gpu at the time, complete all before mining.
2: Three gpus at the time, complete all before mining.
3: All gpus in parallel, start mining immediately.
--pcie_fmt=FORMAT Sets print format for pcie bus numbers. The accepted
values for FORMAT are either 'hex' or 'dec'. The
defaults are decimal for windows and hexadecimal
for linux.
--api_listen=IP:PORT Enables the api. IP:PORT is optional. If present,
the IP:PORT combo decides the interface(s) and port
to listen to. Default is 127.0.0.1:4028. For
external access, use e.g. 0.0.0.0:4028. It's also
valid to only specify the port, e.g. 4029.
-l, --log_interval=SEC Set the time interval in seconds for averaging and
printing GPU hashrates. SEC sets the interval
in seconds, and must be > 0.
--cn_config=CONFIG Set the cryptonight configuration for the miner.
CONFIG must be in the form [I0][M][I1], where
[I0] and [I1] are the thread intensity values
ranging from 1 to 16. [M] is the mode which can
be either '-' or '+'. Mode '+' tends to perform
better for higher core clocks, and '-' tends to
perform better for lower core clocks.
For example: --cn_config=14-14
CONFIG can also be a comma seperated list of
config values where each is applied to each GPU.
For example: --cn_config=8-8,16+14,15-15,14+14
Any gpu that does not have a specific config in
the list will use the first config in the list. --pool_broken_rpc Tells the miner to only allow a single outstanding
rpc request on the pool connection. This is
a work-around for pools that violate the json
rpc specification regarding rpc IDs.
--no_cpu_check Disables cpu verification of found shares before they
are submitted to the pool. Note: only CNv8 currently
supports cpu verification.
--bus_reorder Reorders the detected or specified devices after
their pcie bus id.
--list_devices Lists the available devices for the detected or
specified platform and exits immediately. Bus
reordering will be implemented in the order shown.
--help Display this help message and exit.
I could use a better explanation, really. And, FWIW, a setting of "16+16" failed to load the kernel on my Vegas, I needed to reboot afterwards.
--scryptr
. It would translate into a full 8GB allocation on your Vega. The weird part is that the driver actually says "sure, let's go" and tries to allocate the buffers instead of throwing an error in our faces so we can exit with some dignity.
