how can i configure miner to use less memory and more disk read? i am planning to use 10TB space with 8191 stagger size. or should i use lower stagger size?

I have a couple of questions:

a) Does the effectiveness/performance of mining BURST depends on disk speed, disk size, both of them or also something else? If yes, are there any reference/baseline performance numbers?

b)

dcct's plot generator(twice the speed, linux only): https://bchain.info/plotgenerator.tgz
Plot range checker: https://bchain.info/BURST/tools/overlap (thanks to dcct)
Plot merge tool(significantly reduce disk stress. linux only): https://bchain.info/merge.c (thanks to dcct)

Can somebody explain how can I actually use these performance tips, where and how do I use these files (on CentOS Linux)?

Thanks!

a) disk speed doesnt matter, disk size (plot size) is your hashrate.

b) if you plot your files with in order, you don't need a range checker. The merge tool I never used.  The plot generator you have to unzip and compile in the terminal of your linux. You will find the solution out there or in dcct's posts.

I have a remote machine with Ubuntu 14.04

I'm a complete newbie on linux. If someone can help me step by step I'll give 10'000 Burst when miner is running! I'm on freenode in the channel #Burstcoin, with the same username! Query me and let's start!

I've really helped the community with windows in my language, you can check here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/burst-unaltcoin-da-minare-con-lhard-disk-wallet-123-739507, but now I need help from linux experts!


EDIT: Found! Thanks!

how i can make more memory for plotting?

Increase your stagger size



where i can do this?

i use
./plot

./plot


i use

./plot 8191

as i know 8191 is max limit

8191 was the limit for the java generator. With ./plot you can use more. Try 100000 for 32GB ram.

Are there any news regarding new exchanges? Did someone answer our requests?

I get the feeling that today there are a lot of buyers out there in c-cex... Volume and Price will rise

what is the difference between -Xmx2048M and -Xmx8192M? is there any impact to finding a block?

Its the maximum memory java can use. If you get "out of memory"-errors then increase it, otherwise it wont have any effect.

I like to announce:

The Plot-generator rewritten in C!

It has several advantages over the one written in Java:
- About twice as fast
- Support for larger stagger sizes, only limited by system memory
- More efficient memory handling. With just 3GB you can use Stagger size 8191, with 8GB 24000 is possible. Plots with larger stagger sizes are better, as they require less disk seeks to be read.

You need a 64bit Linux environment to run this. Maybe someone can port it to Windows?

How to run it:
Download, unpack (tar -xzf plotgenerator.tgz), compile (make)

Then use the same command line options as with the Java-generator:

Code:
./plot

You can download it here:
https://bchain.info/plotgenerator.tgz


Anyone have any luck compiling this for Windows? It runs fine in Linux after compiling.

I used the this in terminal in Linux after I compiled it: "x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc plot -o plot.exe"

Then I try to run it on Windows and can not run. I think I am suppose to use "x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ plot -o plot.exe"

My skills are novice in compiling, so any help is greatly appreciated. Once I can get this running, I'll share a link to download it for Windows users.


where is a link ? _)

I'm still trying to work on it, but remember my coding skills is novice at best. I can not make any promises if I even get it to run.


using 2047 MB memory

i have 32 GB RAM
how i can make more memory for plotting?

when i start plotting
i have message:
