Didn't click through Smiley

But, shouldn't also:

-        bits = bits[2:len(bits) - 1]

In that case? This is to remove the 0x and L.
Good catch, also sanitized the code immediately following it and repushed...

Latest poclbm mainline breaks with the new difficulty!

Bugfix: http://gitorious.org/~Luke-Jr/bitcoin/luke-jrs-poclbm/commit/7fdc508a1070f5540046f2d7649eed15503177ad
To merge:
Code:
git fetch https://git.gitorious.org/~Luke-Jr/bitcoin/luke-jrs-poclbm.git bugfix_difficulty_error && git merge FETCH_HEAD

Once again, Luke Jr. saves the day.

Here's the patch for the actually curious:
Code:
--- a/Transport.py
+++ b/Transport.py
@@ -62,7 +62,7 @@ class Transport(object):

        def set_difficulty(self, difficulty):
                self.difficulty = difficulty
-               bits = '%08x' % (difficulty,)

                bits = bits[2:len(bits) - 1]
                bits = ''.join(list(chunks(bits, 2))[::-1])

It prints newlines on every hash rate update when run in lxterminal (linuxcoin).  

Anyone experience the same?  Know why?

EDIT: was told this is because of the width of the terminal window.  There is some extra whitespace after the hash rate text which wraps around to form blank lines if the the terminal window isn't wide enough.

so how did you fix it? i want a clean command prompt @ windows Sad

Hey guys, the new Catalyst drivers come with support for OpenCL and AMD APP. So is the installation of the SDK still required, or is it not?

Some comments and questions Wink

* What happened to options like AGGRESSION etc.? I can not enter them anymore.
* Can we as next step get multi GPU support? So that one can define multiple GPU or just something like -d all and it uses all GPU? Quite a lot of people I think run multi card configs with the same card everywhere, makes everything easier.
* Is there a way to get rid of the new measurement output and put it back to "line by line"? Easier for those starting the miner from a control program that then parses the output Wink Not sure I overlooked that.

Besides that - good thing.


aggression = frames


and the line by line, try the --verbose mode

Hello.

POCLBM crashes almost instantly on my setup (2x5970+ 1x5850 + W7 x64)

if i remove the 5850 everything works fine

ideas?
Is your power supply big enough

5970=300watts *2 + 5870=200watts *1 +175watts overhead (Board, Fans, Processors, Disk Drives) =975watts @ 85%eff = 1150watt supply

Have the same isssue. Settings around -f35 for main card (with monitor) and -f2 for second one are best for me, but ofc loosing about 20MHash compared to 2x singlecard-rigs.

If you set aggression (in phoenix) too high or -f (in poclbm) too low, my experience is that it interferes with multiple GPU mining.  The miner gets bogged down with the overhead of being too aggressive and can't keep the GPUs fed with work to do. 

I would try a higher -f until you find the point at which you can mine on all GPUs without the second GPU affecting the first GPU's hash rate.

3 devices... both the 2 gpu and the cpu




ps: its ubuntu 11...





Do you have the crossfire cable installed, I keep each of my cards at frames=10, 3 cards on one rig, I try to keep the total of all the frames= to add up to 30.

If you do any other frames= combo do you see that much impact?


they are not crossfired...

GPU1 (device1) is with frames 1, and GPU0 with 10... if I lower the frame on the GPU0, GPU1 is affected.. I guess even with 10 GPU1 is affected considering frame 30 normal

What size PSU do you have?

I have a doubt.



I have one rig with 2 5850...

When I set the GPU1 (device 1) with frames=1, I get about 348/349 mhash constantly...
so when I turn on the GPU0, no matter with frames, I get lower mhash and the GPU1 drops its mhash...


is that normal?

both cards have the exactly same configuration and they are the same model...
in my mind I though I could set both cards with frames=1 and get the 348/349 mhash individually.. besides the desktop lag

when you run ./poclbm.py by itself in the /poclbm directory, what devices is it showing?
