Why is it so damn hot in here?

Quote from: kano on September 03, 2012, 12:11:52 PM

Funny question from a developer ... me

Anyone know the 3 letter command to blink/flash the led on the BFL?
e.g. the temperature command is 'ZLX' but I can't seem to find the blink command anywhere on the forum and BFL were far from helpful the first time I asked them for command details coz I also requested the details of the 'ZAX' command to upload firmware (so they replied with no details about anything at all - back in May)

I'm sitting here coding up a blink option through the API only to get to the line where I send the command and then realise ... I've no idea what it is ... and then wasted an hour searching the forum and my email

Kano, I sent you an e-mail with the most recent API interface details for BFL devices in it. It should arrive in 4 to 6 weeks.

This is a quick heads up to tell you all that I'll be taking a brief break from development and support for cgminer due to a family tragedy. I will not be receiving notifications from the forum nor checking on messages for a little while, so please use the resources of the many other helpful people on these forums. Thanks.

I'm really sorry to hear about this as well. Take care of your family business.
Take Care,

New version: 2.7.5, 31st August 2012
- Revert "Pick worksize 256 with Cypress if none is specified."

Thanks for removing that, I thought it was just me. Cheesy

However, on Cypress and SDK 2.7 I'm getting better throughput using:

Quote

"vectors" : "4",
"kernel" : "phatk",

instead of the suggested default values of cgminer for that card type, i.e.

Quote

"vectors" : "2",
"kernel" : "diablo",

Can anybody else confirm that?

I'm using SDK 2.5 with my Cypress and my command line is

-k phatk -v 2 -w 256

That gets me slightly better performance than what I had with CGMiner 2.4.0.

When I tried -v 4 performance was significantly worse for me.

2.7.5 test update:

Has been running for about 6 hours now and no sign of the -10 intensity bug so far. This is a good sign, it usually showed up within 30 minutes of CGminer starting previously.

Running one card at intensity 8, and one on dynamic, dynamic card is hooked to a monitor.
Test rig is a WIN7 x64 with 2 5870s not in crossfire, it is a daily use desktop, not a dedicated mining rig.
Connecting to a LAN P2Pool server.

I will let it run for a full 24 hours and do a follow up post. So far it looks good Con, here's hoping that bug is squashed for good this time.

And now for something completely different.....
Some good news,

24+ hours running in the background, with the system going under all sorts of other CPU and GPU stresses, and still no sign of the -10 intensity issue. I'm getting a little bit excited.

Sigh....
After running 2.7.5 for about 36 hours with no problems at all, I came home last night/this morning after a fine night of drinking to find my dynamic intensity had gotten drunk also. It had fallen, and couldn't get up. I = -8

Is it just me, but last day i had very poor spped with my 7970 rig and 5870 rig with different cgminer versions.

Thought maybe its pool foult, changed that BTCguild is my primary pool, but after a wile ist again the same.
Till now it was E: ~ 92%, now its 74 - 83. Speed was 675 now its 633, card with the same settings.

Anyone else got similar problem? Pool are ABCpool, BTCguild, Deepbit

On 2.7.5 I am having a problem with dynamic intensity dropping after running several hours. I haven't figured out whether it is time related or triggered by something I do. It sounds similar to some other reports, but mine only drops to -7 instead of -9. It first happened to my second (of two crossfired) cards, so I set that to fixed intensity this morning, then when I came back this afternoon my primary card had done the same thing. So, I set my primary card to fixed intensity, then back to dynamic and that fixed it (Obviously, restarting also fixes it). This machine runs Windows 7, but I had it happen on a Ubuntu machine downstairs earlier this week. I have dyn-interval set to 30.

Thanks for this work Con and Kano. I just finally went from 2.3.2 windows to 2.7.4 as I was wondering about waiting to work out any bugs in 2.7.5.

I have almost all 5870's and 5970's with one 7970 rig.

Has anyone figured the optimal settings for 5xxx series under Cons new kernel ? Should I change worksize, etc. ? How about SDK, I am still using driver 11.12 and SDK 2.1 for all of my 5xxx series cards and using 12.4 for my 7970's.

Any help would be aprreciated.

I am running 11.9 and SDK 2.5 (Windows 7) for my 5870's. Going from 2.7.0 to 2.7.5, I had to change mem from 170 to 300 and set work size to 256 to get the same hash rate.

At 970/300 -w 256 I get 445.6 MH per 5870. Fan is at 75% and temp is 69 to 74 depending on how hot it is outside.

I use SDK 2.5 because I also have one 6970 in that rig. I did not have to raise memory or change work size for the 6970 in that rig to maintain the same hash rate as before (960/170 - 430.3 MH)

Yes, I know it has the CPU bug, but I use affinity to only use one core. I have tried other driver versions but loose hash rate and have worse stability.

I thought 11.11 got rid of the cpu bug, and still had excellent performance?

Edit: fixed.

I was getting a lot of driver not responding messages and pool x not providing work fast enough with other versions. Do what works for you, but the hours I wasted on testing other SDK's and other drivers was nothing but trouble. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Haha sounds fair. I can't stand not having the latest version of any piece of software, so Im always updating everything.

Hey All! Thanks for creating an absolutely incredible mining program. You all rock!

I'm writing a monitoring program for my miner, I've IP address restricted access to the port, but I was wondering if there is any way of providing a password on access?

Cheers!

IP address restriction in cgminer is sufficient. You can have your monitoring program on the same subnet as cgminer and expose HTTP interface in your monitor. Built access control into your monitoring program. NAT your monitor IP to external IP or port forward external port to your monitor port.
