Topic: Simple core/memory auto-tuner script (Read 4644 times)
ive been looking for something like this, just what i need!
It seems that this a script does not want to work with cgminer 3.7.2
I just noticed this after fooling with it for an hour
EDIT:
After some research and trial and error, adding these settings allowed me to use CGMinerTuner
Code:
"api-listen" : true,
"api-allow" : "W:192.168.1.100,192.168.1/24,127.0.0.1",
"api-port" : "4028",
"api-allow" : "W:192.168.1.100,192.168.1/24,127.0.0.1",
"api-port" : "4028",
We'll see what happens in a few hours

what kind syntax of command is for Win64 for example? 
Syntax is exactly the same, you just need to have python installed. You might need to give the full path to python when launching the script, for example:
>C:\python27\python.exe CGMinerTuner.py ....
Can you change your GPU clocks using cgminer directly? If you try, ignore any "success" messages cgminer gives you after a clock change and verify that the new clocks are being used yourself (it should display them). This python just uses cgminers clock changing functionality, so if it doesn't work in cgminer, this script won't work.
Make sure you are giving the tuner sensible clock ranges for your card too.
checked with cgminer and it looks like I can't change the clocks in it either. That sux. Guess I'm S.O.L. on that.
Any chance you're going to expand this script to include other cgminer settings like threads, thread concurrency, worksize, etc?
Not at the moment. It seems like there are well established values to try for different cards though.

I'm sending you a donation. Not because This tool helped me speed up mining. I got zero increase in mining. I guess my cards are near optimally tuned. But because I was able to optimize in another way. Also, I now have example code on how to talk to cgminer via APIs. That could be useful to me some day.
You know that there are multiple examples of how to talk to the api in different languages in the cgminer package itself, right?
I just tried this and keep running into "failed to set new gpu core clock".
Any ideas or is my card (4870x2) not compatible?
Win7 x64
Cgminer 3.0
Python 3 (will try 2.7 tomorrow)
amd/ati driver 13.1
thanks

The latest version should be compatible with Python 3.x now.
Python 3.3.1 ... The most current from Python's site over the weekend.
the script worked fine on linux with 2.7.x
You may want to try 2.7 ...
There are big incompatible changes between 2.x and 3.x , and most people still develop for 2.x unless they explicitly state that they require(or support) 3.
Found the problem, its simple to fix. Will push the changes soon.
Same error here.. gonna install 2.7 now
Also i'm using 64 bit -- should i take 32bit?

I'm blind. Didn't see your obviously Windows command prompt.
What is the output of 'python --version'?

Its throwing an error when I try to run against my miner machine remotely... same when I try to run against it locally.

Are you using a Mac? You probably need to update your python installation (I used 2.7, but 3 should work too).

Going to give this a go tonight, looks great, thanks...
