Guys,

I need help.


My mining rigs are riserless motherboards with 7x vega.

These boards have Celeron 3885 CPU that appears to be very slow.

When the miner starts, it in parallel initializes each card and connects to the pool. But once the shares start coming, the CPU is busy with something (probably verifying the found shares?) and never completes initialization of some cards. Sometimes 3 cards start, sometimes 6 cards start, sometimes all 7. But I have to manually stop and start the miner many times until I get lucky and initialize all 7 cards.

Is it possible to introduce some delay between card initialization and mining start, or disable CPU share verification?


Thanks!




Will be back at my desk shortly and will provide better feedback. Meanwhile, can you describe the behavior those times you’re lucky and all cards initialize ok, does mining work fine after that in those cases?

I think we need to add an option of doing a staggered initialization and a delay, that no card starts mining before the full init process has completed.

The miner is actually missing on-cpu verification, we didn’t have time to add it, so that’s not the issue at least Smiley.

Whenever the vards initialize or not, the miner works super nice from what I have seen so far. I am busy all day optimizing my rigs for this miner. If some cards don't initialize, miner still works, just displays 0h/s for that card, and CPU usage is high, so he is probably stuck trying to initialize the cards or something.
Then, i just quit the miner and try few times and eventually all cards initialize.
