@gsrcrxsi / high rejection rate:
on v0.7: i'm currently experiencing this on my own, it looks like the rejects are coming in "chunks" with 5-6 rejects in a row, then everything is fine again.
is this was you're seeing too?

i don't have a hint right now what's the cause, i'll have to dig deeper through the server logs / mining code  >:(

/edit: and i just got home, i'll check the code now.

@cjrhoades / afr33sl4ve:
this is getting a little confusing, so you're using v0.5 and v0.7 ? both with the same problem.
and both of you encounter the "collision found" but -no- "submitted share -> <whatever>" line in the miner output?

if this happens and you dont see enough shares in the last blocks (user stats), then it looks like the submission is not reaching the server, thus you don't get an answer from the server about your submitted share. the miner itself counts every share that has been submitted regardless of the/an answer from the server about that submission.

also please be aware, that your most recent shares are currently not shown in the user stats, as these are bound to found blocks, and the last found blocks is 2.5 hours old

you should at least check your miner('s connection) and probably restart it
i checked the connection from my side and everything seems fine (incl. receiving work, finding collisions, submitting work, receiving work result)

which OS and which miner do you use?

- xolokram

ps. btw i'm thinking about implementing xpt protocol to let you guys mine with jh's miner

138
if
Code: [Select]
[MASTER] submitted share -> SHAREis missing, then you didnt receive the answer of the pool
the submission is executed with the
Code: [Select]
collision foundline

- xolokram

ps. letme check the server, this and the very high blocktime are strange

/edit:
ok, if you ask me someone's trying to fu-- up the pool (or is using a totally broken status update script)
more than 5k connections on port 80 while 4k miners are connected...

139
yep, this is pretty much disabling the AVX detection
while keeping the SSE4 detection

i'll be not much around here in the next hours
i hope i can fully get back to the issues (AVX, windows bug) by tomorrow :o

i had 1-2% on one machine and 4-6% on other machines yesterday

i would say 15% is too much

can you PM me a part of your console output of the miner with some information about REJECTED shares?

- xolokram

141
from v0.6 to v0.7? OS? VM or native?
does it state "using sphlib" or "using AVX/SSE" at the beginning of the miner?

i have a wild guess that the changes to the makefile (esp. -march=native) are not suitable for all distros/systems/configs

- xolokram

ps. @all: don't compare sh/m, use col/m

142
can someone on a i7 with SSE4 but -NO- AVX check if replacing
-march=native
with
-march=corei7
in
makefile.unix

then compile, then run, helps?

- xolokram

ps. sorry, i'm currently not able to test is

143
uff wow, didnt expect that much feedback over the night :)

"Illegal instruction" is caused by AVX while being permitted (i guess it's a vps you're using?), SSE4 could work, but needs some adjustment on the code, because it will auto-prefer the AVX code.

on machines with SSE4, but no AVX, it -should- choose the SSE4 code. but it looks like that this detection fails somehow on some machines... *urghs*

and don't us the "sh/min" (shares/min) measure for comparison, it's highly depending on what the server is accepting at the moment, and this is fluctuating (col/min is a better measure)



thanks for all the (positive & negative) feedback

i should add a manual option to choose from sphlib, avx or sse4

- xolokram

ps. i'm off to work

144
newest experimental v0.7 needs yasm to be installed for compilation
and it looks like that avx/sse4 is disabled on (all? some?) digitalocean vps machines

145
output of
Code: [Select]
cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep flags?

looks like avx/sse is disabled

/edit:
yep, it's disabled! see post below, no avx, no sse4

146
CPU?

btw i added a "known issues" information to the original miner update post, so we dont have to repeat everything

- xolokram

147
can you try the sphlib version of the miner for your AMD CPU?
(see (new) mediafire link in announcement post)

- xolokram

ps. yes, maybe ec2 instances are permitted to use them, haven't checked it yet, will do

maybe update for v0.7
requiring yasm for compilation

- xolokram

ps. see http://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=234.msg9657#msg9657

149
share submission's working fine on all my test systems
which is the last line you see in the output?

(please, PM me or even better use IRC --> freenode #beeeeer.org, so this thread and especially the last post will not polute everything with tech support stuff)

- xolokram

ps. rejections are not 100% gone due to the client<->server communication delay still causing a few rejects, but it should be better now

/edit1:
 ;)

/edit2: i will just re-use this post

new ptsminer v0.7 EXPERIMENTAL/TOO LATE?/BEEEEER EDITION *UPDATED-#3*
for ptsweb.beeeeer.org & #beeeeer.org @ Freenode

linux / github: source code here
windows binary: v0.7 x64 RC1 -> ptsminer_v07b_x64.zip (64 Bit, experimental, fasterererâ„¢!!!!!!) *updated-#3* incl. 'rejections-on-a-block-workaround-by-reconnecting'-fix
(containing GENERIC (INTEL&AMD) , SSE4 and AVX version (INTEL&AMD))

new optional parameter, check the usage example below

  • AVX / SSE support (thx to glitchboy)
  • SPHLIB support
  • RAM option (new parameter!)
  • smaller rejection problem bugfix
  • reduced thread priority of worker-thread

Code: [Select]
choose <version> depending on your CPU and mining implementation you want to use

usage: ptsminer_<version>.exe <payout-address> <threads-to-use> [memory-option] [mode]

memory-option: integer value - memory usage
                20 -->    4 MB per thread (not recommended)
                21 -->    8 MB per thread (not recommended)
                22 -->   16 MB per thread (not recommended)
                23 -->   32 MB per thread (not recommended)
                24 -->   64 MB per thread (not recommended)
                25 -->  128 MB per thread
                26 -->  256 MB per thread
                27 -->  512 MB per thread (default)
                28 --> 1024 MB per thread
                29 --> 2048 MB per thread
                30 --> 4096 MB per thread

mode: string - mining implementation
                avx --> use AVX (ptsminer_avx.exe)
                sse4 --> use SSE4 (ptsminer_avx_*.exe & ptsminer_sse4.exe)
                sph --> use SPHLIB (ptsminer_avx_*.exe, ptsminer_sse4.exe, ptsminer_amd.exe & ptsminer_intel.exe)


examples:
ptsminer_avx.exe PbfspbvSWxYqrp3DpRH7bsrmEqzY3418Ap 4
using AVX on 4 threads and 512 MByte RAM per thread (default)

ptsminer_sse4.exe PbfspbvSWxYqrp3DpRH7bsrmEqzY3418Ap 8 28
using SSE4 on 8 threads and 1024 MByte RAM per thread

ptsminer_intel.exe PbfspbvSWxYqrp3DpRH7bsrmEqzY3418Ap 2 25 sph
using SPHLIB on 2 threads and 128 MByte RAM per thread

ptsminer_avx.exe PbfspbvSWxYqrp3DpRH7bsrmEqzY3418Ap 12 24 sph
using SPHLIB on 12 threads and 64 MByte RAM per thread


build notes:

boost library & YASM required for compilation!

currently the mode parameter has to be set manually on linux machines (fix will come later), no autodetection atm

Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install yasm
i expect some problems with the compilation as i've not tested the miner on every linux / mingw distrubution out there... be patient, dont panic

compiler warnings on the SPHLIB files are alright (incl. sph_sha2.c, sph_sha2big.c & md_helper.c)

and next difficulty coming in fast...

problems with compilation? adapt some of the things from --> HERE (thanks to donschoe, don't forget to DONATE!!)

I can't test on OSX. Maybe someone can say if the compilation works on OSX??

KNOWN ISSUES:
1) on Amazon EC2 instances AVX is permitted (?!?) --> the miner crashs <-- SSE version is working fine, you'll have to set SSE4 mode manually
2) OSX compilation errors due to byteswap & *i-forgot-urghs* thread priority(?)

todo:
  • abandoned addresses payout script
  • fix that bug "crashing after share submission" on windows
  • add option to choose mining code optimization manually (avx,sse,sphlib)

- xolokram

ps. cmake file is not up-to-date, i will fix that asap
pps. using 32 bit linux distribution could be problematic... will look into that later
note --- quick dirty 32 bit linux distribution workaround: replace "elf64" in makefile.unix by "elf"
