Topic: [XPM]unofficial jhPrimeminer thread - page 31. (Read 180246 times)

Seems to run fine without msvcr110.dll for me over 6 hours.  I'll keep my stats with it and see if anything changes, although I think it was intentionally left out for the AVX build.

Does this fix the prime multiplier 2x problem? I run into it daily, it's brutal waking up to 8 hours of errors and no XPM generated =\.

Would be nice to include msvcr110.dll.

Please post an AVX version.  I am seeing a serious reduction in performance in PPS (and in turn, chaining) on my A10-4600m.

Hi,
A minor release to fix some of the problems we encountered lately and some features mostly for advanced users. As usual this version is not well tested, (time issue). The source is on github.
1. Implemented some kind of heartbeat monitoring, if a thread get stuck it's automatically restarted. Hopefully this will resolve the problem some of you reported that after a while the mining speed is dropped.
2. By default the initial cache auto tuning is disabled. It can be enabled using the "-tune true" command line parameter or by pressing the 'c' button in the miner.
3. The size of L1CacheElements that the above mentioned auto tuning used to set, is by default 256000 and can be set using the '-c' parameter (must be between 64000 - 2000000 and multiply of 32)
4. The auto tuning for the round sieve percentage can be also disabled by specifying a fixed value for the primorialMultiplier with the '-m' parameter (must be between 5 - 1009 and should be a prime number)

I intentionally left out these new parameters from the help because these are intended for more advanced users.

I won't post the AVX version because I think it has no performance gain. In case somebody saw any improvement with AVX let me know.

Edit: the 32 bit version is broken, don't use it until I'll find out what's the problem with it.

Sorry I should've mentioned I'm running v6 through wine on Ubuntu. I'll give it a go through Windows once I get some more memory into my Windows machine. I don't remember v4 having this problem, but I see v7 is out now so I'll try that first and see if I have the same problem.

Confirming there looks to be some sort of memory leak in v6, on one server without AVX I just restarted the process as it was using 11GB memory and only ~25% of the allocated threads. The other server with AVX was using 8GB RAM and same story, using only ~25% of allocated threads.

After restarting the processes they're both mining with full thread utilisation and using < 200MB memory.

And later in the same thread:

Strictly speaking, the highlighted can be put under doubt. Standard deviation for 46 found blocks is about 0.5*sqrt(46) = 3.39. For 99.7% confidence interval it's 3*SD = 10.17, so the two values are within error. Need some more testing.

how the -m values affect the found shares? i mean the lower value/higher value does what?

This same thing was happening to me..IDk whats the deal.. I dont think it has to do with your internet connection.
