New YAM version release

[wallace]

Thanks Yvg1900!

I'm a newbie, and just got a problem when I run with a Haswell-EP Xeon E-2600 CPU to mine the MMC, This is a Haswell CPU. But it seems the program always auto exit after below message:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Checking MMC Stage 1 optimizations compatibility...
Checking MMC Stage 2 optimizations compatibility...
-----------------------------------------------------------------

I have tried each type folder, still the same issue.

but I can run the same program to mine the PTS on this CPU successfully. what's the problem? Is this CPU compatible with xpt protocol but getwork protocol?

very appreciate if you can answer my question.

FX 9xxx is the Piledriver architecture so do x3xx and including APUs.
But Bulldozer the FX x1xx and other variantions support AVX instructions as well (but yes not 1.1 version as Piledriver)

I have a problem with the version 2 for Bulldozer, it crash right after printing a welcome message with the donations addresses etc.

Code: [Select]

Unhandled exception at 0x005d237e in yam.exe: 0xC000001D: Illegal Instruction.
This what I get from debugger (maybe its going to help)

System: Windows 7 x64

I have to note that version 1 work just fine with the performance of about 6.9HPM (3.6GHz, Turbo Off)

I believe v2 works with 9xxx FX CPU's.

start /low yam.exe -c yam-mmc.cfg

threads = 2
mining-params = mmc:av=0&aesni=on&donation-interval=100&m=2048
mine = getwork://myaddreess@mmcpool.1gh.com:8080:8081:8082:8083/mmc
compact-stats = 1
print-timestamps = 0

it does not work

Try with aesni=off

Has anyone used one of these yet?  If so what were your results?

Thanks for your response yvg1900.

Buying another 8 gigs just to get huge pages to work is not possible for me at this time.  Is there anyone here who has gotten huge pages to work on 8 gigs?  Also, you had said that," I recommend trying the consig on machine with 16Gb or more RAM, and once you know the right way to enable it, try on smaller machine."

What do you mean by "the right way to enable it?"  Are there any other commands I should know about to get it to work?  Do you think a memory deframentation program would help?

Best wishes,

asquirrel

*update*

I pulled another 4 gigs from another system that I had in storage and added it to my system for a total of 12 gigs.  It seems that at least in my case, 12 gigs was enough to get the "huge pages" function to work.  MY HPM (at least according the the YAM program running with AV 2) is at 7.6

[yvg1900]

On Windows, 8Gb of RAM is true minimum of RAM needed for hugepages to work.

AT this physical RAM size, possibility to allocate 1Gb of properly aligned RAM depends on how many and which applications start at boot and login. Even starting and exiting program at boot may cause mem fragmentatoin due to allocations made by other programs while exited one was running.

I recommend trying the consig on machine with 16Gb or more RAM, and once you know the right way to enable it, try on smaller machine.

Hello folks,

I have been having a real bear of a time getting huge pages enabled and working with the miner.  Running I-5 3570 Ivy Bridge.  overclocked to 4.4 ghz.  8 gigs of ram.  Windows 7 64 bit ultimate. 

Error message is as follows (see below in more detail)

Can not allocate hugepages memory, error=1450
Warning: MemoryCoin2 memory block for thread 2 allocated in non-hugepages memory
 - thread performance may degrade

Running yam-yvg1900-M7m-win64-ivy-bridge.  Running memory coin wallet 0.8.583.0 unk-beta.  I like it better than the standalone since I can jump to that webpage where it gives my mmc stats. 

yam-mmc.cfg settings are:

threads = 3
mining-params = mmc:av=0&aesni=on&m=3072
mine = getwork://MDLTQ29J7BHuxfkBV6JsfMTY5exun7SKcn@work.mmcpool.com:80:8880:8881:8882:8883/mmc

compact-stats = 1

Running three threads instead of four threads because with four I can't work at all on my system.  I just upgraded my system ram from 4 to 8 gigs. I've tried changing memory settings to 512 but program says it's too small and minimum needs to be 1024 per thread.  I tried going above 3072 and got the same error message (1024 per thread).

I googled this:

https://www.google.com/#q=how+to+enable+large+page+support+in+windows+7+

went into this link:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190730%28v=sql.120%29.aspx


To enable the lock pages in memory option

    On the Start menu, click Run. In the Open box, type gpedit.msc.

    The Group Policy dialog box opens.

    On the Group Policy console, expand Computer Configuration, and then expand Windows Settings.

    Expand Security Settings, and then expand Local Policies.

    Select the User Rights Assignment folder.

    The policies will be displayed in the details pane.

    In the pane, double-click Lock pages in memory.

    In the Local Security Policy Setting dialog box, click Add.

    In the Select Users or Groups dialog box, add an account with privileges to run sqlservr.exe.


Foofoobean (my pc) was already set as a user.  I also added "everyone" as a user.  I tried adding "users" but that didn't work.  Then I rebooted and tried again.  Same error message as above.

My HPM right now is around 6.5.  I'm hoping with hugepages enabled  I will get higher HPM.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

HI all, i'm running on ubuntu server, it run well.
But i hear someone on ypool memtion that if we can enable the huge and also attach thread to physical socket, it would be more performance?
Anyone know how to setup the numactl and huge please help.
My server config as below.

numactl -s

preferred node: current

Nope it doesn't, this Xeon is Nehalem-based. Gulftown and Clarkdale were first to intruduce AES instruction set.

[isiarj20]

I tryed with a Xeon 5605 and Works fine, with an E3-3103(or similar) and goes well, but I have a problem with a Xeon E5504, the yam miner only Works with the aes-ni option disabled but this procesor has the aes-ni instructions set...., I tryed with the generic and the Sandy bridge versions, but has the same problem, any help? Thanks.

I keep getting error 1300 on YAM for huge pages. I have went under user rights management and added my account but still getting the error. I went back and added every group and user but am still getting the error. Can anyone help?

[Delinquency]

Guys, please help me with installation on linux.
I have VPS in cloud with proc, having aes-ni support, but even with aesni=off i got this:
(-> Illegal instruction (core dumped))

On my windows everything is ok, farming with aesni=on.

Maybe i must install some dependencies ?

I only get that error if I run a YAM executable that is not compatible with my processor.

Please check on your processor type again.
Just try a different version of YAM.

i downloaded correct version ivy-bridge, my proc has ivy-bridge architecture, but yam don't work how can i check what is illegal instruction i have? Please help
