^It seems the Wolf's miner is faster on linux.

Yep! Went from 305H/s on Win7x64 to 440H/s on Ubuntu64.

Just looking at youtube videos on how to install Ubuntu - is it complicated to run the software on it or is it just like windows? Whats GPU mining like on it? Is it more stable etc. ?

No, it isn't just like Windows, although it's not very complex. You can't GPU mine on it as of yet, as Claymore's miner doesn't support linux - however GPU mining in general tends to be more stable in my experience.

minerd-wolf-07-09-14 hits me hard with a decrease in performance. ~120 h/s

using minerd from cpuminer-multi-wolf-06-09-2014.zip ~190 h/s

CPU is a 12 core Xeon E5-2430 V2 Is this expected?

are you sure you are using the same number of threads in both cases?

I am using the same exact .bat file settings.

Is this bat file about right or is it too simple:

minerd -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://monero.crypto-pool.fr:6666 -u ADDRESS -p x -t 8

Are there any furthur codes I can put in to get any extra performance? I am only hashing around 250 - 280 on a E5-2650 ES QA82 which I thought is rather disappointing considering one of the guys on here is hashing over 400 on a E3-1230!

First, you need to try a different number of threads. Try 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Second, mine on my pool Cheesy

Hi all

Juste a question, i have both AES-NI and no AES-NI cpu with windows 7 x64. Can i use only you last build minerd-wolf-07-09-14.exe for both cpu , or i have to choose the AES version cpuminer-multi-wolf-06-09-2014.zip for my AES cpu ?

don't know it you last version can support both and detect AES cpu.

And if someone have an idea of how to detect a aes-ni capable cpu from a script (wmi , vbs).

Great job !

Any chance this will work on arm?
LucasJones version doesn't work either, the cryptonight part fails to link. I believe the problem is missing aesb-arm.S in that case.
Can't find the bitcointalk thread for it, though.

just wanted to say that if you run on a single core cpu, by default it does nothing:

0 miner threads started, using 'cryptonight' algorithm

1 - 1 = 0 :-D

I used RedHat 6.4. 1week+. no leak.. shouldn't it be same as Centos 6.4?

Look, all the same builds, all the same servers.
Yet huge difference in hashrate??

I asked if you followed the instructions for hugepage setup on linux - you haven't given me a reply.

Yes i did follow those instructions

Wait - those aren't the same servers, they're servers with the same specs. The reason this matters is that the other one could be different in some way, or being throttled. Plenty of VPS services will throttle you if you use too much CPU, or your CPU speed will suck if someone else is using too much CPU. Also, I did say that the hugepages edits probably wouldn't help under virtualization.

There is a serious memory leak , the miner eats up 8gb of memory in 24-48 hours. I suggest everyone sets up a kill/start script every couple hours or so.

What OS are you using? On my 50+ Ubuntu and Windows 7 machines, the memory hasn't leaked and they've been running for 5+ days straight.

I can confirm leak on CentOS 5.8 and 6.4.

Hi there!

The questions:

a) Is there any way to store the miner output to a file (i.e. text, Calc, Excel, etc.) in Windows in order to do some analysis?

b) Is there any way to run/swicth the miners with separate configurations based on the computer usage (i.e. when the computer is Idle, when the computer is beeing used by an user) to minimize user loss of performance perception in Windows?

The context: I'm having several (arround 20, from very old to 1 year old) computers in our office that I want to mine with. I'm trying to run the miners in the background without disturbing the user and trying to log the miner activity to be able to analyze it's output once per week to check serveral things:

- Is the pool rejecting my hasing power?
- Is the output from the miner close to the one repoted by the pool?
- Is the pool having connection / logouts / timeouts issues?
- Is it profiterable to mine with that PC?

Thanks in advance and sorry for my ignorance.

Southern Regards,

Wolf0

Just a quick check and I am getting roughly 220 KH/s with my QA82 ES Xeon processor with 12 GB of RAM... would more RAM make any difference?

No, but try a different number of threads.

Can I run this miner to merge mine on Minergate?

Yes.

Quote from: bitspender on June 18, 2014, 01:40:26 PM

Another question, i'm running multiple VPS.

When i use on Ubuntu, i get around 100 H/s
On the same hardware, but running windows image, i get 280 ??

You're probably forgetting hugepages.

You mean??

I mean read the OP.

Start your miner with screen

Code:

sudo screen ./minerd -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://xmr.crypto-pool.fr:6666 -u 485VWHzZMe8hGJCXDArFVf1KUqjbwUnKqCEfPTzcU8zt6geeCMaaXECEMYsxFwQdgKi9LVX3HNMb1FQoMLKpbFRE5rUGCNe -p x

FIFY

Also you can add your average hash to get an adapted diff from the pool like this :

Code:

sudo screen ./minerd -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://xmr.crypto-pool.fr:6666+1500 -u 485VWHzZMe8hGJCXDArFVf1KUqjbwUnKqCEfPTzcU8zt6geeCMaaXECEMYsxFwQdgKi9LVX3HNMb1FQoMLKpbFRE5rUGCNe -p x

For 1.5 KH/S

Is system memory critical to the miner performance? I use low memory, e.g. 800MHz as I only use GPU mining. If I increase to 1600MHz, how much is the performance gain?

This might vary a little depending on what ubuntu version you are using and ffs I have not run this in a while so it also might have a few un-needed steps but it should get you started. This is tested to work for ubuntu 12.04 x64 with AES capable CPU. This is all done in your terminal. The files are downloaded to your home folder (ie /home/cpuminer-multi)

First your dependencies:

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:costamagnagianfranco/autoconf -y
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential screen automake m4 openssl libssl-dev git libjson0 libjson0-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev autoconf python-software-properties -y

Next get the miner source and compile:

Code:

git clone https://github.com/wolf9466/cpuminer-multi.git
cd cpuminer-multi
./autogen.sh
./configure CFLAGS="-march=native"
make

Optimize system for mining

Code:

threads=`nproc`
sub="1"
mul="3"
thr=$(($threads - $sub))
thruse=$(($thr * 3))
sudo sysctl -w vm.nr_hugepages=$thruse

Start your miner with screen

Code:

sudo screen ./minerd -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://mine.moneropool.com:3333 -u 485VWHzZMe8hGJCXDArFVf1KUqjbwUnKqCEfPTzcU8zt6geeCMaaXECEMYsxFwQdgKi9LVX3HNMb1FQoMLKpbFRE5rUGCNe -p x

Thanks a lot, this looks like exactly what I'm after. Shame I won't have the opportunity to try it out until next week now because of festival plans.

Okay seriously dude, your backgrounds got to be trolls. Or you are a furry. Not sure what's worse. Tongue
