Did the graphics drivers update? There have been lots of reports of the recent drivers dropping hash rates. A reboot would cause newly installed drivers to load.

Nope, I'm already at 11.12 (didn't see a performance drop that everyone else reports - interesting).

On that note, what are the suggested drivers for mining in Windows? 11.6?

11.6 with sdk 2.4 remains the best for both windows and linux for mining, if not for gaming.

Just has to pursued Norton Antivirus that v2.1.0 isn't a Trojan :/

Same here with AVG and cgminer 2.0.6... Looks like the antivirus guys drank too much on Xmas.

The drop was after a restart (the whole previous day it was 84Mhash). It's a Radeon HD 4830, mining at 72C.

Just had the same issue after restarting my miner: one of the GPU would barely mine, the other would mine around 250 MHs vs the usual 380. Turned out the auto-intensity was screwing up, forcing it manually to 8 fixed the drop (and even increased hashrate above what I was used to). PC feels a bit laggy though now Grin

Going to try 2.1.0...

When I first start my miner, it usually shows a higher than accurate rate. Over what timeframe did you see this drop? What are you mining on that gives you 84 MH/s? nvidia?

What are your system's temps?

My hash rate dropped from 84 to 61 without making any changes to the system (upon a simple shut down and power on). Great.

I don't suppose anyone has any suggestions?

I had to lower the clocks on 5 cards (2 separate rigs) with 2.1.0 because they were locking up, and they were not previously, but they are more stable at I 9 now where I was using I 7 and 8. But my rejects are down. Maybe SAC is seeing 2 different issues...drop the clocks and see what happens.

Linux since 1997 RedHat 4

I'd suggest this is a known old problem and not cgminer either.
A few months back I had issues connecting to one pool and it worked fine on all other pools.
The problem occurred when my network link included my PowerLine link from my garage to my unit over the electrical cables - it's a low quality connection and somehow that affected connecting to a single pool but worked fine with others.
Redirecting the link via an ssh tunnel over the PowerLine also resolved it for that pool.
So, basically, network issues seem to affect mining even when other network access seems to be OK. (curl+json sux)
I guess it's valid to blame the network link (as was the pool decision back then) so I'd also suggest such current problems are network related also.

I don't know about the others but I have seen this all the way back to 2.0.0, only have logs in 2.0.7 though. Restarting the machine solves it for anywhere from an hour to a month. Figured it was just my router, it's more frequent with more miners on the same router.

Could you try the git tree now please?

Tried twice and got no segfault - seems to work. Cheesy

Sweet, thanks!

I don't know what to make of the other reports of connectivity issues since none of that code was actually changed... Unless something changed indirectly by addition of the API code?

Are you referring to the connection problems with the donation pool?
My guess about those is either spam/botnet protection by the pool or some sort of location-based misconfiguration by the ISP or whatever (IOW network problems). I doubt it's in the code, but it would be nice if the code somehow didn't wait for a successful connection to the donation pool and simply background the whole donation pool connection process. That way it won't interrupt mining and still give the pool a chance to be used.
I can try doing some protocol debugging when that happens and I have the time, but I'm kinda booked for the next few days...

Again, died in the ATI driver.

Well without hardware to reproduce it here, I'm kinda stuck for now. Unless someone has the knowhow to do a git bisect and find when the problem started happening, then I'm at a loss. My GPU based mining hardware may not be online for weeks again Sad

Code:

    Only pthread_join when pthread_cancel does not return an error.

Fantastic, thanks very much. All I need to do is not pthread_join then.
