barely any CPU usage at all (under 6% in task manager while I use various programs on the desktop)... I do from mining other things have two environment variables set... GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100 and GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1... I had been attempting to get SeLockMemoryPrivilege for cpu mining with large pages, but windows 8.1 is just an absolute bear with allowing this to get set, the MMC won't run locally by design anymore so I have not been able to set a correct value to get this working, which is why I am discounting my CPU mining experience as normal...

I do notice the GPU miner skips over my intel CPU as a GPU, despite the fact its still enabled for graphics, in fact its what I am using as my main desktop GPU so the two cards have zero load from anything else, it's just nice to not have any flicker or skips while using the computer... I tried to set the memory on the motherboard to 1024 thinking it skips past the built-in video as being too small, but even GPU-Z still does not recognize an increase in the memory, I was going to dig around for some set minimum command in windows to see if windows will force it to have a minimum memory.

Intel HD is intentionally skipped because of its inferior performance. You are better off running yam on CPU even without hugepages, its worst performance mode is still better than Intel's OpenCL.

Guys,

Pool miner is now updated to version 1.4, please download it from the pts.1gh.com page.

• It now uses stratum mining protocol, stale shares are almost zero
• It is now possible to override workgroup size detection, please try setting it to 64-128-256 if you had 'Invalid group size' error
• Hashrate is slightly improved

The pool now supports XPT protocol, for CPU mining you can now use yam! Connection string for yam is:

Code: [Select]

xpt2h://YOUR-MMC-ADDRESS:x@pts.1gh.com:18120:18121:18122:18123/pts


Sounds great, it will be nice to have all of my miners on the same pool. So we can use this miner? (the yvg1900 one?) from here:
https://mega.co.nz/#F!h0tkXSxZ!f62uoUXogkxQmP2xO8Ib-g
Thanks.

Do you find that your GPU mining lowers when you are CPU mining on the same machine? I attempted this and the loss in GPU was simply not worth the gains from the CPU, I was simply using more electricity for no gain... (I was using the yam) I'm sure results will vary person to person, just wondering if anyone has added them together to see yet?

Does the GPU miner use a lot of your CPU time? It was the case for me when using two cards without setting GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS, now the miner sets this variable automatically. It is some old AMD driver issue.

I started to try out the different workgroup sizes... seems I must settle on 256 as anything higher will error, is that expected for a 2GB video card? I'm guessing a 512 would work on a 4GB and so on? (just taking a stab at trying to understand since I see only 1.1GB of gpu memory being used, ASUS R9 270 2GB)

The worksize is limited not by your VRAM, but rather by GPU architecture and driver. Setting it to lower than default may benefit older cards (low-end 6xxx in particular) and might solve a problem with some Nvidias that fail to start with what their driver provides as default.

if anyone else is having issues building for osx, here is what I had to do to get it to build.

1)   cd /tmp
2)   xcode-select –install
3)   sudo xcodebuild -license
4)   curl -O https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-2.2.1.tar.bz2
5)   tar xf MacPorts-2.2.1.tar.bz2
6)   cd MacPorts-2.2.1/
7)   ./configure
   make
9)   sudo make install
10)   sudo port selfupdate
11)   sudo port install boost db48@+no_java openssl miniupnpc   (this takes awhile, almost an hour)
12)   git clone https://github.com/thbaumbach/ptsminer
13)   cd ptsminer/src
14)   make –f makefile.osx

Edit: one of my co-workers needed to download the command line tool for Xcode. So if step 2 doesn't work, that maybe why.

I got all the way to step 14 but then when I run that command I get the error "make: *** No rule to make target `–f'.  Stop." I have no idea what the problem is and I have Googled everywhere but I cannot find the answer. Can someone please help me? I'm willing to pay in protoshares when I can get this to work. Thanks!

You have a long dash in '-f'. Type the minus on your keyboard instead of it.

Reorder

Are there any variables we can tune with?  One of my Vista64 machines is crashing the display drivers only after 6+ hours of mining.  Temps not an issue and I tried the registry fix.  Same cards/drivers however with Win7 64 have been running forever without a hitch with your miner.

If it matters I am using 2x HIS 7950's with AMD 13.12 drivers.

There is essentially nothing to tune about the algorithm save for amount of VRAM used, and that the miner tries to adjust automatically. I figure AMD does not give much love to Vista in their drivers anymore, probably you are hitting some driver bug.

1700 cpm at 2x R9280!
Great work! 

i think we can do more than 2000 with 2x R9280  (

Why of course you can. Welcome to pts.1gh.com

2x MSI R7970 Lightning BE

Reorder, the 7970 is getting ~1150 CPM, but my 7870 is only getting ~620 or 650 CPM. Does this sound right?

Yes, my 7870ge performs about the same, 630cpm at stock clocks. It has less shaders, so this proportion stands for other coins too (in cgminer etc).
