Topic: Phoenix 2 Miner v2.0.0 - page 4. (Read 201569 times)
failback = 600 <--Is this the default value? I can't remember if I changed mine or not.
Each device is given a unique device ID. For OpenCL the format works like this:
[class:platform:device]
So [cl:0:0] refers to OpenCL device 0 of platform 0.
[cpu:0] Is a generic identifier for the CPU.
What exactly is the platform?
And how can it change to 1 0 or any other value?
thx
This probably won't help, but here's what I know.
For one of my rigs running LinuxCoin, which has three 5970s (6 GPUs total), the OpenCL devices (GPUs) are identified as follows:
[cl:0:0]
[cl:0:1]
[cl:0:2]
[cl:0:3]
[cl:0:4]
[cl:0:5]
I do not know what the first number after "cl" means or how it could be anything other than 0. See, I told you this might not help.

Odd error, not sure what to make of it.
Fedora14 box, mixed 5830/5850/6950. Aside from being about 200mhz slow vs cgminer, I'm seeing this:

Ideas?
Has anyone run this on an iMac with an AMD Radeon HD 6750M (or just OS X Lion, in general) and have any config options to share? Thanks!
Thanks ssateneth. What you posted got me thinking, and I figured it out. For reference, my system has three 5970s and is running LinuxCoin.
In order to have multiple instances of Phoenix2 runnning, I have to disable all of the OpenCL devices except the one that I want to use in that instance of Phoenix2. There's no need to put the config files in different folders in my environment.
If I don't disable the other OpenCL devices, I get the "cross-talk" I was referring to in my previous post. Below is what it looks like.

I know, it can be hard to with "recovering" a failed device compared to other more robust miners like CGMiner, but thats something you just have to live with. I have a 6 card rig that I check once a day, and I just check to see if all 6 cards have submitted anything recently; if not, I note the missing GPU, flash a BIOS with slightly changed clocks, reboot, and good to go another day.
If for whatever reason I need to run 2 different instances of phoenix, I make 2 seperate folders. Also, you really only need to declare arguments that are relevant. If you are manually setting things, you dont need autoconfigure or autodetect. I find that whatever I haven't set compared to your cfg just doesnt need to be defined or changed.
edit: i realized I may have not answered your original question. I don't experience any hash rate drops or misplaced shares or anything like that on my gaming PC (2 cards, 1 is dedicated, running a separate instance for each GPU). Hashrates are as expected for each card and don't seem to "merge" into a different card at random like you describe.
fakeedit2: You mention "creating multiple backends to allow for seperate workers" and "run multiple instances of phoenix 2". Isn't that the same thing?

My understanding is that creating multiple backends to allow for separate workers for each of my GPUs is not supported. One would need to run multiple instances of Phoenix2, each with their own config file.
I created the separate config files and ran multiple instances of Phoenix2. It worked in general. However, I had something strange happen. To make this clear, suppose I had just two instances of Phoenix2, called instance "A" and instance "B". Some of the shares from instance "A" were being counted by instance "B" but instance "A" was not counted some of its own shares. So, the hash rate in instance "B" was abnormally high and the hash rate of instance "A" was abnormally low.
I had 6 different instances of Phoenix2 running on one rig. Here's the config file from the first two. The other config files were similar to the below two except that the appropriate changes were for different workers in the backend line. Also, I changed the logfile line, [cl:0:#], and name as needed.
Is there something wrong in the config file? There seems to be some "cross-talk" between the different instances of Phoenix2. If you want further proof, I can replicate the situation and post the log file (assuming it happens again).
Regarding the auto-detect, is it necessary for each instance of Phoenix2 to go through auto-detecting all 6 OpenCL devices, patching, etc. in my rig? Is there a way to have it only detect the OpenCL device that will be used in that instance?
For now, I'm running all 6 OpenCL devices on a single backend. It works, but it makes it difficult to detect a failed device.

After more playing around. Think I've grasped what these settings do.
Setup [cl:0:0] and [cl:0:1]. Separate settings for each graphics card. *duh* moment there I know.
Now I'm using the right settings to a specific card, changing over to vectors4, bfi_int and workload 256, made a big increase.
I'm still not sure what I'm doing but my mhash/s is going up, so i'm not complaining.

Just want to start off by saying overall I found phoenix has worked quite well.
I've not truly grasped how to use it to it's fullest.
My settings are below.
I average 65-70 Mhash most the time. However I have no idea what a few of these parts really do:
[cl:1:1] - This part seems to give higher results than for example using 0:0. No idea just know it does.
Vectors - Didn't seem to find much difference changing this.
Worksize - A small number seemed to work okay for these low end graphics cards in my laptop
Aggression - I work on this laptop all day, so 1 is realistically the only option.
Kernel - As I understand it, there is opencl and phatk2, phatk2 showed minor improvements.
The rest I don't understand at all. Any advice?

I just switched to 2.0. Took a bit to get working.. the docs need some improvement IMHO. It'd be nice if the output gave some info too, such as what GPUs were accepted, and current hashrate. I intend to look at the RPC calls to see if there's a way to check these remotely, as the log file doesn't help me, and every time I VNC to it, everything slows down.
I had the problem you had for a bit. Then I put this back in the global settings:
Then, voila, it started submitting work.

What can cause this error? I just fresh installed my win7 on an x79 chipset board and 3930K CPU, same radeon 5870 though.
this is my cfg.
this is the error.
there are definately kernels in my plugins folder, I just download it fresh and it still wont work. help?

I have a feeling that it would be helpful to copy the "Getting started" information from the beta thread to the first post of this thread.
That would be great.

I'm getting a weird problem that I've never seen before. I haven't changed any drivers or sdk or anything, it just started happening out of the blue.
Someone thought it might have something to do with bip16 or something to do with local block detection (?) and cgminer had this problem at some point?
I really dont know, i'm just posting what someone else though. Can I get a fix please? I'm mining on eligius.
The miner continues to submit "shares", but they are all rejected with the reject reason: stale-prevblk. when another LP hits, it doesnt spam anymore and it submits valid shares

I'm having the same problem as ssateneth. Failed to load plugins. Fresh install and plugin folder is there. ssateneth was your issue ever resolved?
EDIT: Sorry, I missed that "ran repair of SDK 2.6". Can you give me more info on this? I'm not sure what you are saying. You didn't have to install SDK 2.6 right?

When you install a driver package from AMD, it normally extracts by default to C:\AMD\Support\
And yes I have 2.6 SDK and 2.1 SDK installed, but I only use 2.1 SDK. 2.6 is just there to allow detecting opencl at all in certain situations.
Is there any documentation about how to use the JSON RPC?
See doc/rpc.txt:

Yes, I forgot my .cfg 
Phoenix2 w/o any modifications.
I've tried 11.12+2.5, but had problems with one of the rigs (thank you, restore point )
All 5 rigs are dedicated, all miners has affinity to core 0, and cpu is downclocked/volted => cpu bug is not problem.
In my home I have 6970 and the connection with bitparking is rock solid, as you say.
That means problem with router/switch/isp, but poclbm works well with bitparking & btcguild... but gives ~2% less.
I changed the switch, router is cisco, isp is... there is no other isps
And last - Prop, score, PPLNS and other pps pools is closed book. For now
Maybe phoenix and bitparking not love one another.
However, I launch two windows with phoenix2 - one for bitparking with AGG 14 and one for btcguild with AGG 7 and fastloop.
Not so elegance, but works
