Hi,
I am running jhprimeminer the precompiled linux version by
bengtåke or
clintar (not trough wine!).
I am running it on my VPS Ubuntu 13.04 x64 linux server and I noticed a big difference in pps when:
- I run it
foreground = average 3000-4000 pps
(EDITED) - or when is it running the background = average 1000-2000 pps
(EDITED)So if I leave my ssh session open and the jhprimeminer is running in foreground I get double speed.
But I can't have it open all the time...
I also tried to run it as a daemon (daemonize),
and also used renice commend to se the priority to -20 (maximum).
With no significant improvement.
Does anybody know why is this happening and if it is possible to run it at full speed even if it's in the background?
EDIT: I corrected the wrong pps for fg and bg (swapped them)I ran into this problem when I was originally working with jhPrimeminer on a headless linux box. The problem seems to be with wine: if you run a console application in the background and attempt to capture the output, the wineconsole process eats 50% of the CPU.
The only solutions I've come up with are 1) nohup the miner and never see the output or 2) output directly to screen and never disconnect. :\
On an unrelated note, the reason you see so many extra characters in the log files (and the reason they're so hard to grep) are because of all the control characters.
