Can the g parameter be used per device, example two cards set differently with -g 4,3 ?  (per if you are running a mix of cards)

you have to do

-d 3,4 and then -g x

commit #753
Tried to run quark and x11 without any parameters. Huge cpu usage (totally grabs one cpu core), system unusable with high priority.
p.s. win 7 64 bit, single gtx750, athlon x2 3ghz

Thanks. I have fixed it now. Should be back to almost 0.

with -g 4 and -i 22 hash on my 3 960 is 25M (-g 5 stop with errors). With only -i 22 hash 29M!
Now i downloading new build. trying later today.

Skein is optimized Smiley

0 memory and full boost on the gpu. full load, and 98%TDP

100MHASH on the 50watt 750ti.

WhirpoolX not work whith -g.  Hash is slowing 15-20%. GTX960.
X11, X13 is faster without -g. X15 is slower.

You need to combine the -g with the -i parameter. (for whirlpoolx and skein there is no gain)

And you need to download and build the latest version on github.

x11:

-i 19 -g 3

for quark:

-i 22 -g 5

I submitted a fix for the cpu usage in multiple threads.

x11 750ti settings:

-i 19 -g 3 -a x11

seems to run faster than default.

around 150Khash faster per 750ti.

Look at the power graph, only 60-90% tdp. With overclocking/voltage the hashrate gets much higher.

Should prevent the crash.
Thanks bathrobehero. But it was crashing at the goto loop. And said at that point it couldn't find ccminer ..

Yes, I misunderstood the problem. I couldn't replicate it though.

hi all ...

the donation stratum address is now active and can be mined directly ...

looks like yaamp had a major hiccup and dummy spit - with extranonce2 size errors - as can be seen by the graphs of sp's btc address on yaamp ... this issue looks like it affected all the miners - and was caused by yaamps stratum ... but it all seems to be going ok now ... we will see how it goes for the next few hours and check it again when i wake ...

so now we have sp donation - x11 and quark ...

just point miners to the following address and ports if you wish to donate in this way to sp - any username / any password ...

x11 - donate.granitecoinx.com:7999 ...
quark - donate.granitecoinx.com:7919 ...

remember these are still test environments and the address will more than likely change to - donate.granitecoin.com:portnumber - when it is setup permanently ...

just for examples sake - our mining settings for gigabyte 750ti oc lp cards in linux scripts or commandline are as follows ...

./ccminer -o stratum+tcp://donate.granitecoinx.com:7999/ -O chrysophylax.test:x -a x11 -i 20.6
./ccminer -o stratum+tcp://donate.granitecoinx.com:7919/ -O chrysophylax.test:x -a quark -r 3 -R 10 -i 23.7

./ccminer would be replaced with ccminer.exe to be used for windows batch files if you have the same cards ( probably with different parameters also ) ...

we hope this is ok so far ... the other algos will be setup tomorrow and the list of algo / port messaged here ...

#crysx

HAMPSTER ON THE WHEEL FOR YA, MATE!

I just hooked up to your donation proxy.  Great implementation!  I'll leave the critter there a while.  Any way we can view the action online?    

EDIT:  I just looked up the donation wallet on Yaamp.  All is good!  Grin   --scryptr

I added some boost in x11. Compile the latest and run with -i 19 -g 3 -a x11 and overvolt your card.

x13,x14,x15 will also run bether with multiple threads now. I reduced the constmem usage in the AES kernals. (shavite,echo,fugue,whirlpool)


done sp ... running now with those settings and the latest git pull ...

you can see the results on yaamp - still mining the donation link ...

quark seems to have a hard time staying mining - due to the stratum extranonce2 errors ...

we dont seem to have this issue with x11 ...

i need rest now - so ill check it all when i wake tomorrow ... but i find it weird how quark runs for a while fine - then e2 errors go on for a while before it settles again ...

this happens whether connected directly or through the proxy ... an issue with yaamp? ... or ccminer? ...

btw - i cant overvolt / undervolt any of these cards ... but they seem to be running well - for now ... Smiley ...

I have a question, if sometimes on yaamp the connection is lost and isn't restarting, i would like to add another pool. How can i do this. (with last ccminer1.5.47)
Am i the only one who lost connection on yaamp?
For now i use :
ccminer.exe -R 5 -T 5 -q -a quark -o stratum+tcp://yaamp.com:4033 -u 5LA1mw7JZKKVf3LK9KLAJSzQZzNwU9Z3Rp -p d=0.002

Can someone explain me what i should add to insert another pool after this one? (round robin, failover or someting else)

P.S sometime if i closed ccminer and restart it im able to log again and mine ...

Thanks for the help


LOOPER--

This is how:

:loop

ccminer.exe -r 1 -R 5 -a quark   -o stratum+tcp://us-west01.miningrigrentals.com:3333 -u me -p x  -d 0,1,2

taskkill -t -f /im ccminer*
timeout -t 1

ccminer.exe -r 1 -R 5 -a quark   -o stratum+tcp://us-central01.miningrigrentals.com:3333 -u me  -p x  -d 0,1,2

taskkill -t -f /im ccminer*
timeout -t 1

goto loop

This is a slight revision of Bathrobehero's script.  Use the "-R" switch, and the "-r" switch.  The script above puts in a 5 second delay (-R 5) before switching to the lower pool in the batch file, and to try to reconnect once (-r 1).  Yaamp uses it to switch between algos.  As used above, it switches between pools.  Yamp.com has an example script linked on the homepage for algo switching.

If you execute the command "ccminer --help >> help.txt" in a windows command box, you will get a text file explaining all the ccminer commands.

--scryptr
This looks good to me but the problem still is at the goto loop I think.  Again at the crash line ( goto loop ) it says can't find ccminer. Or is it the 1 second time delay that may keep it from crashing ?

CRASHES--

I think that may be the intention for "-t 1", but now I wonder if crashes are because of overclocking ccminer for performance.  The batch file works, but ccminer triggers the "program stopped working" error messages.  I don't know if ccminer is supposed to stay runing between connection attempts.       --scryptr

I am no linux guru, but I have run a script or two.

Maybe you can try this:

chmod +x script.sh    <-- to make it executable
./script.sh                 <-- to run the script

YES--

OK, but I was in the habit of implementing scripts with "sh".  Apparently, "sh" and "bash" are not completely equivalent.  There are some functions in Skunk's script that require "bash".

Further, the Windows batch command "taskkill" will not find the imagename "ccminer*" if a user closes the "ccminer.exe" with a "control-c" keystroke, because ccminer has abruptly been closed.  This abrupt closing triggers a Windows error response frequently, and disrupts the loop on the ccminer launch batch file.  If running ccminer in a round-robin batch file, the Windows error response prevents ccminer from reconnecting and mining until a manual intervention occurs.

Closing out of ccminer.exe in a clean fashion under Windows may require some changes to the source code of ccminer itself.

The as-compiled by sp_ release 45 is a nightmare on my rig, mining Quark

GTX 970
i7 4770
16GB
Win 8.1

Unsteady hashrate with -i 20, and most any other intensity setting crashes.

After a crash, the GPU goes into a low power mode and I have to restart the machine. I suspect that if I used an older version of Afterburner or Precision X that has the K-Boost button, I might be able to wake it up after the crash without restarting .

Either way, it is very buggy and that makes me Sad

download nvidia inspector

Use bat-file with

nvidiaInspector -restartDisplayDriver
Nvidia inspector is an  OverClocking application. Does it have anything to do with recovering from a crash?

DRIVER CRASH--

I am often able to overcome a driver crash with EVGA PrecisionX 16, an overclocking utility.  If you drive the card to hard, and the driver crashes, the card can be reset by turning "Boost Clock" off and on and then re-applying the clocking settings.  The desktop display may also need to be reset, as well.       --scryptr
Thanks scryptr. But what I just installed was TdrDelaySetTo40 that I found in nvminer zip folder. It hasn't crashed yet. But when renting hash and not able to monitor all the time I needed something to restart the miner right away. He is the problem I was having or still maybe have.
 At that time the command window was still open and if I clicked the warning window off the miner would start mining again without any problem.



thx

EDIT: This happened a lot when the stratum failed and at the goto loop. Tested it by disconnecting the ithernet.

:loop
ccminer.exe -r 1 -R 5 -a quark   -o stratum+tcp://us-west01.miningrigrentals.com:3333 -u me -p x  -d 0,1,2
ccminer.exe -r 1 -R 5 -a quark   -o stratum+tcp://us-central01.miningrigrentals.com:3333 -u me  -p x  -d 0,1,2
goto loop

nVidiaInspector --

The program is a GOOD ONE for Windows!  It overclocks and is NOT LIMITED to 4 CARDS!  I am able to access the settings on all 6 of the GTX 750ti SSC cards on the Windows rig, save the settings in a shortcut, and place the shortcut in the Startup Folder on my rig.  Fan speed, clock speed for core and memory, and power settings are all adjustable.  I added 500kh/s to the rig's Lyra2 mining hash rate with the utility (4.5Mh/s now).

@tbearhere --

I also get the Windows warning "ccminer has stopped working" when it cycles through the batch file.  It requires manual intervention and disrupts the functionality of the goto loop.  Apparently, it is a more frequent problem in Windows 8.  I don't have a solution yet, I am still looking.      

 --scryptr

Thanks scryptr. So far no crashes since I put in TdrDelaySetTo40. And I use evga precision x and that does detect all 6 cards. But I still don't feel safe that at the goto loop command is stable. I did put in a task kill ccminer right before the goto loop, but no difference at that time. There maybe a link with overclocking not sure.   thx
