Re: RandomX Benchmarks! https://randomx.monerobenchmarks.info

I need help running RandomX benchmark with largepages enabled.

My bat file content:

benchmark --mine --jit --largePages --threads 8 --init 8 --nonces 100000

Result:

RandomX benchmark v1.1.1
 - full memory mode (2080 MiB)
 - JIT compiled mode
 - hardware AES mode
 - large pages mode
Initializing (8 threads) ...
ERROR: Cache allocation failed
To use large pages, please enable the "Lock Pages in Memory" policy and reboot.

I have in "Security Settings > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment > Lock pages in memory" set to Everyone

Using windows 10

Any ideas?




What's your hardware specs?
Probably not enough L2/L3 cache to run 8 threads as RandomX requires: 16 KiB of L1 cache, 256 KiB of L2 cache and 2 MiB of L3 cache per mining thread.

Ryzen 7 1700x

Ok, then try: --mine --jit --largepages --threads 8 --init 16 --nonces 100000

Examples:

https://randomx.monerobenchmarks.info/shareExportCPU.php?s=VFhwWlEwRkJQVDA9
https://randomx.monerobenchmarks.info/shareExportCPU.php?s=VFhwSlFVRkJQVDA9

Same result, it has to do something with "Security Settings > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment > Lock pages in memory"

Without largepages it is running, but the hashrate is much less then reported from others for the same hardware.

Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v14.6 (Windows/Linux)

I have a problem running claymore 14.6 with strap option on Windows 10 and GTX 1060 cards with samsung memory, drivers 425.31 I am starting the bat file with admin rights but claymore closes immediately. And that is regardless of my OC settings. Anyone with same problem?

Instead of  filename.exe (forget the filename) use your full path "c:\whateverthepathis\filename.exe"

Run as administrator changes the path to windows\system32

Thank you very much!
