Re: Acorn M.2 FPGA based GPU Accelerator

Please answer if you can.

1. I have 2 free M.2 slots on my mobo "Asus z270a prime" will both slots work?
2. How many GPUs can 1 device help? If you have 2 on a single mobo does it help with straight gains? or just help an additional x cards?
3. Im currently HiveOS and been using many Linux Distros, will this be supported in terms of a how to get it working on linux?
4. My current Setup i have 13 x RX 570 on a single Asus z270a prime with 2 free m.2 slots do you expect to see hash gains on all cards or just "x" amount? What would be your ideal setup in theory (if you can apply it to my setup  i.e run 1 in my setup or 2)? Even if the gains are low but the power draw is significantly reduced would it be reduced on all cards? All cards are at PCIE GEN2

I totally understand it all needs to be tested etc... In just trying to understand if 1-2 cards were implemented how do cards interact.... is there a finite limit in terms of number of cards etc.

Cheers

Started using this pool and its working well. Its def not the normal "cookie cutter" UBIQ type of pool. Some of the features seem really cool. Personally love the favorites option.

Im currently using EthOS 1.2.9 + Claymore 10.4  (manually added Claymore 10.4).

I am not seeing any increase in hash..... Has anyone actually been able to get the extra % that was stated in the 10.3/10.4 update?

Let me know

EthOS - Set RX series voltage
by
chilliefly
on 08/09/2017, 17:55:49 UTC
Hi All

I am currently using EthOS and recently I have seen they have the ability to set voltages on the RX series cards (noted below in change log).

ethOS 1.2.4 changelog (released September 3rd 2017)

Major Changes

Increased RX series hashrate by fixing hashrate drops caused by DAG growth.
Added ability to set voltage for RX series GPUs.



I have personally tried this but I am not seeing a change in the watts consumed from wall. The only time I see a change in watts is when the powertune/powerstage is changed. Can anyone help? Has anyone got this working?

Please and thank you.

I see the following has been added to latest release. Has anyone had any success with RX voltage. Ive tried but it seems the powerstage/powertune trumps it?!?!? Can anyone tell me how the voltage works with the RX Cards  (i use 570,580 cards). 

-Added ability to set voltage for RX series GPUs.

Perfect solution for SMOS would be to have additional two fields (OC page) related to mem/core voltage but as I understand it's not possible. Right?

Its a limitation of the AMD Linux drivers, nothing tytanik can do about it.
Me and cryptoscum will be working with this computing kernel and driver to meaby fix this power wattage issues.
I am starting to love nvidia over amd but nvidia also has some stupid limitations Cheesy

I have not tired EthOS but it looks like they have something in change logs for latest update.

Major Changes:
Increased RX series hashrate by fixing hashrate drops caused by DAG growth.
Added ability to set voltage for RX series GPUs.     <<< i cant validate this but since its also ubuntu maybe figure out how they did it (if it works)

@tytanick, have you seen this post:

Here is the solution for linux amdgpu blockchain fix:
The new ROCm Kernel works great, my hashrate went from 155 > 167Mhs/s with 6*RX470 with Ubuntu 16.4

#Install new ROCm Kernel:

wget -qO - http://repo.radeon.com/rocm/apt/debian/rocm.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo sh -c 'echo deb [arch=amd64] http://repo.radeon.com/rocm/apt/debian/ xenial main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rocm.list'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rocm

#edit grub
sudo nano  /etc/default/grub
#2MB fragments for Ellesmere are enabled with a grub option:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="amdgpu.vm_fragment_size=9"

sudo update-grub
sudo reboot

choose new Kernel and its done!

Thx to gstoner from ROCm Github.


Feel free to donate if you happy ;-)

Does it apply for SMOS too?

has this been confirmed ?

13 x GPU on 1 x Asus Prime z270-a anyone have 14+ working ?
by

on 26/08/2017, 19:05:41 UTC
Hey guys I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck getting 14-16 GPU running on this mobo. 13 works perfectly fine but 14th card makes the computer not post (black screen and keeps rebooting). As soon as I unplug one card works great.

Any help would be appreciated

Re: Sapphire Nitro+ RX580 8G Undervolt on Bios Who has tried?

on 24/08/2017, 16:43:16 UTC
Will this method ever be shared?  Is it card specific or can it be applied to family of cards 570 (ie Asus, Saphire, Gigabyte). If this info is not being released are you offering support for some kind of payment? Im specifically interested in Linux undervolting since im wasting a lot of Watts on my rig. Is it a one time application to a specific card or is it software based?

Let me know

Cheers


It's software based, not card specific, VRM specific, and most are supported. I currently can do all the way down to Hawaii cards, actually.
Have a pricing chart (per card or system)?
What is required from someone who needs work done (remote access or application sent and instructions sent) ?
Any limitations of how many cards you can run?
Can you run both 580s and 570s in a rig at the same time?

Cheers
Let me know

Usually I consider large farms with mostly a single type of GPU, because this way I can create a version limited to one VRM controller. This leaking would be damaging, but the master copy leaking would be catastrophic. No limit on cards, 570s and 580s are the same card lol, so of course.

nobody is going to mention Wolf0 wallpaper ?  Grin

Most people are used to it by now...

PM me if interested. Have around 60-70 cards. Just looking to lower my watts. Hopefully with SMOS - ubuntu (spawn a new terminal and perform any voltage work with software there). Willing to change OS if needed for ease of use for this to work. 

Assorted  batches of the following cards
570 Aorus 4gb
570 Saphire nitro+ 570 4gb
570 Gigabyte 4gb
580 Aorus 4gb
580 Gigabyte 4gb
580 Asus dual 4gb

Not looking to ruin anyone's brand/image....potential income loss would SUCK.

cheers

Linux Undervolting?
by

on 22/08/2017, 18:12:44 UTC
Currently using Simple Mining (SMOS) and use powerstage/powertune feature. Can anyone guide me in finding a better way to undervolt cards (rx 570) in linux?
Can it only be done in BIOS? if so any direction would help Smiley

Please and thank you

Undervolt on bios with PBE isnt working on linux (or I cant do it works). This is the big problen on SM I think. +200-300watts.

When you undervolt the steps you must also use all same value example there are 6/7 steps, from 2° to higest must use same value, cause on linux TP auto select index or you can also force to use it.

Anyway use SRBPolaris and everything will be good. on rx 480 i use 975mv memory and 920mv gpu (1190mhz)

Wrong - only will work on SRBPolaris if there's an offset in there already.


with that much higher power consumption i dont see the point to switch

There's ways to undervolt, just different.


Can someone help me with volting/power in SM.. Im struggling in this area like im sure many are!!  My cards are consuming too much power and id like to see if I can bring this down.

I have assorted 570's  and my overclocks seem stable but im consuming too much power. I've heard you can run high clocks 1250 core @ 950-975 mV but the power stage is hard to control this. What are other miners doing to try control power on rigs in SM.

Scenario 1:
1250 Core (stage 5/6), 2070 Mem (950Mv) hashing 28/29.5 MHs consuming about 160 watts per card from wall

Scenario 2:
1150 Core (stage 3), 2070 mem (950Mv) hashing 26-27 MHs consuming about 140 watts per card from wall  (Id like to maintain a high hash rate but I loose a lot when I bring my core down).


Ive tried flashing the bios with hard values in

CURRENT Values: *large values/numbers are configured by vendors. Are ranges of power i think? (since they are general binned values for mass sale... since not all cards/silicon are equal)
 Mhz    mV
 300    750
 588    65282 (DPM stage 1)
 952    65283 (DPM stage 2)
 1041  65284 (DPM stage 3)
 1106  65285 (DPM stage 4)
 1168  65286 (DPM stage 5)
 1209  65287 (DPM stage 6)
 1250  65288 (DPM stage 7)

Ive tried hard values in my BIOS but power did not decrease
 Mhz    mV
 300    750
 588    850 (DPM stage 1)
 952    850 (DPM stage 2)
 1041  850 (DPM stage 3)
 1106  850 (DPM stage 4)
 1150  875 (DPM stage 5)
 1200  900 (DPM stage 6)
 1250  975 (DPM stage 7)   

Does anyone have a tutorial on how to achieve lowest power consumption in SM?

Thanks

Hey All

I am running Linux OS (Simple mining) and I am looking to tweak my cards. I have a bunch of Assorted 570/580's and I have the memory timings all figured out and stable. However now I am trying to battle the power situation as Id like to lower it best I can (since Watts = heat and power consumption = $$$).

I've been using the power stage (DPM) feature I find it hit and miss depending on what im trying to do (I simply don't like using it for tweaking)...so id like to mod the BIOS on the cards and hard code the voltages.... Is this a viable solution ?  am i on the right track. I hope my understanding of this is correct.
