AMD OpenCL Momentum miner

[mbender71]

I forgot to mention that these are random/rare errors. Very sporadic and not really an issue at all.
I thought I would throw them out for future debugging or possible low-level issues to investigate.
Time on my Ubuntu rig is spot on and set automatically from the internet. No worries, just wanted
to pass this on. As always, many thanks NaN!

Invalid share

Was just looking through the output of my current mining run and though I'd pass these on to NaN.
Many thanks again for all your hard work NaN!!

Is your time correct (execute date to get the time)? I have no idea how Ubuntu handles time zones. Windows sets the hardware clock to local time but Linux normally assumes UTC.

Are the files gpuhash_x in the same directory as the binary? I guess that the application cannot find the file.

I think I finally have my 4 x MSI R9 290 rig setup under Ubuntu running clpts v0.2.2
with all the tweaks for now. Currently mining on Ypool at the moment and getting :

collisions/min : 15130
shares/hr : 1730

The total rig is pulling 1100w with a 20" box fan running on low to keep air circulating.

I've switched over from Windows 8.1x64 toUbuntu   13.04x64 and INDEED there is a significant
increase in speed. Wow.. thank you NaN! Now I'm delving into tweaking the GPU clock, memory,
fan, etc. I've read extensively about aticonfig and I can seem to get it to work on the first (default)
adapter, but every time I try to use the --adapter parameter it seems to only be setting/getting the
first (default) GPU. For example, aticonfig --adapter="all" --odgt  returns four values but they are
all the same. I'm suing kernel 3.8.0-35 and catalyst 13.12. Is this a good combo? Perhaps there
are other (GUI) utilities out there? Much appreciated!

Running 4 x MSI R9 290 Gaming

What is the speed of R9 290 Gaming under Ubuntu?

[iamcount]

Three HIS 280x ,speed goes up to 96XX!  add -a 2

[NaN]

Error during compilation of program for device 'Tahiti':

Internal error: Input OpenCL binary is not for the target!

How to fix this?

My card is 7950,and driver 13.1

Which OS? Catalyst 13.1 is most likely too old. Please try to update.

Thanks!
Hi,NaN
it's solved,I used v0.2 ,just 55xx. After i changed to v 0.2.2 ,the speed goes up to 75xx.
I  found the miner has potentiality to increase speed. i used  cg to mine ltc or doge,the power was nearly 900w. now ,i use this miner ,the power just 510w. So, how can incease the speed? overlock?

Try to play around with the settings because 75xx cpm seems too low. Overclocking is most likely possible because of the low power usage. Most important is GPU core frequency but be aware of the pitfalls when overclocking Tahiti GPUs.

three his 280x ,win7 13.1dirver.just get 57xx, it's too bad. use -t 0,0,1,1,2,2 .
if add -a 1, the miner can not run. 
so, help me!

Which version do you use? I guess that you're using an old one. Use v0.1.4 or v0.2.2. If your monitor is attached to GPU 0, then I would use -t 0,1,1,2,2 and I would try -t 0,1,2 too. -a 1 should be fastest.

Thanks!

thanks. i'll try.

Can anyone please comment on what you are getting with the latest version on a 290X?

[mbender71]

Sorry to bother NaN but I would like to know what method you (or any others) use to monitor GPU
temps under Linux since aticonfig doesn't work with multi-gpu configurations?

Indeed, aticonfig does not work in multi GPU setups. The easiest thing for me was to write a cgminer config-file so that after booting up, cgminer is started, then closed and after that I execute my miner.

Can't thank you enough for your software AND that great suggestion!!
Time for me to go implement it!!
