Code:

[2012-02-03 23:28:22] Unable to open phatk120203.cl or ./phatk120203.cl for reading

phatk110817.cl was present but not phatk120203.cl.

Wait wait wait... they should be pulled into your local git directory by git pull... Something fishy is going on and I don't think it's my code or my git repo Undecided

They were pulled, but I hadn't copied them from the source/git directory to the working/running directory that I use. After copying them, as previously reported it ran but without LP (p2pool) and with all rejects after the donation acknowledgement.

What does starting it with your regular commands and "--verbose -D -T" give you up until it fails?

Code:

It's a dedicated mining system. I changed from I 8 or 9 (I forget which offhand) to default (dynamic), which yielded I 3 or 4 and a markedly lower Mh/s, because I thought that with p2pool's frequent longpolls it was better to be more responsive to them.

Not quite. I would recommend -I 9 -g 1 instead. That will give you more mhashes but because only one thread will be running per GPU, it will return data faster.

Here's the -n output from the latest commit, the one that fails to run:

If you look carefully you'll see it's different.

What does starting it with your regular commands and "--verbose -D -T" give you up until it fails?

Too late for that as I reverted to the first commit that had the 2.2.1 version number. But if you think it would be helpful, I can re-pull/build the latest commit and then try the -n.

I'm going to start here, but feel free to push me over to the Pools/p2pool topic.

I have some conceptual confusion/ignorance about using cgminer with p2pool.

(1) What metrics should I be looking at to tune parameters?

(2) What shares are cgminer reporting as accepted? As I (mis?)understand it, cgminer shares are traditional difficulty=1 pool shares, but p2pool shares are different, having a higher difficulty. What is "accepting" the shares that cgminer reports as accepted?

(3) I have been running with default intensity. Now with 2.2.1 that means a default of 1 thread per GPU rather than the former 2. With p2pool, would this be good? bad? don't know?

(4) I have assumed that cgminer's donation feature won't work with p2pool and that donations to CK must therefore be manual. Is that right?

Edit: (1) and (2) are related. With traditional pools, cgminer's U statistic (accepted/minute) seems to be the gold standard for tuning. But with p2pool...?

1. MH/s as reported in the average column is still the only objective measure. Provided you don't have any problem communicating with your pool/server it should tell you ultimately how well it's tuned.
2. No idea with p2pool, you'll have to ask a p2pool expert.
3. Default intensity is "dynamic" meaning it's meant to be used on a desktop with a GUI. If this does not describe your setup, use a static intensity, usually 7-9 provides the best, depending on hardware. Try and find the largest value that does not fluctuate too much. Dynamic works fine regardless of what pool you're using it on, provided that's what you want.
4. It should still work fine.

Isn't this the same as solo mining with cgminer? The shares are accepted by bitcoind but that would happen rarely?

But I'm unclear myself on what the P2pool client does in the mix. Does it tell bitcoind that the difficulty is lower than normal and alter how work is handled?

There's an annoying problem I've run into with multiple versions of cgminer including the latest release 2.2.1. If I quit out of cgminer and re run it later, it will no longer pick up the temperatures or fan rpms on the cards. I have to restart the machine for it to work again. This is on xubuntu 11.04. Any ideas of where to start on trying to fix this, or do I just have to always reboot whenever exiting cgminer before running it again.

Some people suggested to use CGMiner over phoenix. There is a glaring problem that needs to be fixed before I even consider using cgminer.

Please support multiple OpenCL platforms. I have 2.1 + 2.5/2.6 on most of my miners, for compatability reasons. The one computer I tried CMiner on (2.1 + 2.6) defaulted to just 2.6 and didn't even bother showing 2.1 SDK platform + gpu's, which is huge to me because 2.1 is so much faster.

Also does cgminer have phatk 2.2? Or the old slow phatk 1.0?

I'd suggest you find these people who suggested you use this crappy cgminer and shoot them.
You'll feel so much better

Some people suggested to use CGMiner over phoenix, but I encountered a problem that should probably get fixed, as it's a deciding factor whether or not I use it.

Please support multiple OpenCL platforms. I have 2.1 + 2.5/2.6 on most of my miners, for compatibility reasons. The one computer I tried CMiner on (2.1 + 2.6) defaulted to just 2.6 and didn't even bother showing 2.1 SDK platform + gpu's, which is huge to me because 2.1 is so much faster. Phoenix and Diablominer both support multiple platforms, and as rich as this miner appears to be, it doesn't currently support multiple platforms.

Also does cgminer have phatk 2.2? Or the old slow phatk 1.0?

edit: certain people got their feelings hurt, reworded things a bit.

What you say about the config files should not apply with the current 2.2.1 version. It should cope fine with zero values, and redundant entries now.

Im runnung Debian 6

With the following script, i understand that i get the same thing you indicated:

Code:

#! /bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          cgminer
# Required-Start:    $all
# Required-Stop:     $remote_fs $syslog 
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: mining
# Description:       Start BTC Mining
### END INIT INFO

script
  sleep 15
  cd /home/rcocchiararo/bitcoin
  exec /usr/bin/screen -dmS Miner su -c /home/rcocchiararo/bitcoin/startcg.sh rcocchiararo
end script

This won't work as a sh script because the script keyword is an Upstart conf file function. You would want to take out both script/end script. I don't know offhand if Debian has Upstart but if it does then the best practice would be to use that by putting this as a conf file in /etc/init. If it doesn't then you could rewrite it as a script by removing the "script / end script" and taking out exec so it just calls screen. I don't think exec is a sh command either. Upstart conf file is not the same as a script.

The cgminer config writer doesn't write a fully working config unfortunately. You have to tweak some values - particularly zero ones. My version here does actually write a working config even with engine/memory values that work. But my version of the code is considered too dangerous by ckolivas to include in the mainline since it reads current ADL values to put in the config. There may be instances/cards where it causes problems - for my 5830s it works ok.

I gave up messing with init scripts that start screen sessions and put this in my /etc/rc.local instead

Code:

su - user -c "/path/to/cgminer/start/script.sh"

Quote

Oh, and i use command line arguments, because either on windows or linux, even after saving the config, it ignores me Sad

(cgminer always asks for input)

This is usually because you have a syntax error in your config. You can see what the errors are if you specify the config.

Code:

cgminer -c ~/.cgminer/cgminer.conf

I don't know why it is built this way. IMO, when you fail to parse a config, you should fail out, not act like there was no config.

will try that tomoroy (just tried that in an init script and failed, and now i have to run xD)

weird if the config file is wrong, cause i made cgminer write it out, but oh well, i will see that tomorow also.

thx

EDIT: ok, no, i tried something like that but using screen Tongue
