Monero Mining Performance

[Marsh]

BTW , I am using Ubuntu with xmr-stak-cpu miner.
You may want to temporary install Ubuntu , just to find out your hardware is capable.
In Windows OS, my be 266H/s is most you could accomplish.

May try to bring the CPU back to stock clock to get a baseline reading.

 

[RickGrick]

Yep I know the reason. It's HTPC and I encrypt 5xHDD
When I turned off raid5 at IDLE (no movie on) I go for 275H/s

There is funny thing Intel dedicate 2MB cache to iGPU so when someone watch the movie it's actual 6MB L3 for CPU.

Now, it make sense, may want to run 3 threads of xmr-stak-cpu instead of 4.

That's why I told about 6MB/l3... It's confirming the theory. Same hashrate but less power consumption.

I have two more "problems"....
I run docker with hyper-v. I can't get resoults but it's look like about 400H/s on my 2699v3 compare to 800H/s is this possible? When I test rendering I have got almost same performance.
Linux>Windows.

One more thing I'm looking for compiling tutorial in visual studio. I can't do it with wolf's source.

An interesting one for today. The Intel Xeon E5-2603 V3 has 15MB L3 cache but only 6 cores with no HT.

5 threads (nproc-1) = 130H/s
6 threads (nproc) = 156H/s
7 threads (L3 cache / 2) = 154H/s

 

[RickGrick]

On stak miner...
2699 v3
850 H/s - 22t
That's my best.
23 threads 815H/s
21 T- 840H/s

A little odd...

 

[Marsh]

A little odd...

What do you mean?
I looked up Intel ARK , E5-2699v3 has L3 45mb cache.
45/2 = 22 threads

Linux or Windows OS?

 

[RickGrick]

winOS
Sorry ... 45/2 =22 I forgot that. So it's perfect normal.

Worker number 4 is my E5-2695 V2 cpu pc, cant seem to get the XFX 7750 hashing in Ubuntu...it dual boot's with windows 7 so maybe this weekend I'll fool with it some more and try under Windows.

 

[zer0sum]

Which pool is that @Klee ?

 

[Marsh]

Looks like mineXMR.com - Monero mining pool

Yep, had zero issues with them so far.

Hello, All.
Could somebody help me to setup config file for XMR STACK miner, expecially "cpu_threads_conf"?
My system is four socket Xeon E7 4890 V2.
OS Win Server 2012 r2.
STAK miner don't see more than one CPU. And best hashrate for one phusical CPU with L3Cache/2=17 threads is about 800 H/s
@Patrick I've seen what you've tested four socket Xeon E7 Dell R930. Could you please help me to setup cpu threads config?
Thanks

 

[Marsh]

Based on your previous recommendation , I am mining with minexmr.com

Average Total Hash Rate: (24h) 9.24 KH/s (12h) 9.40 KH/s (1h) 9.31 KH/s (10m) 9.57 KH/s

Unfortunately, that was before moving to Docker.

It will automatically configure if you use any of our Docker images. You will just want to use the latest not any of the special tags. Here is an example: New Dwarfpool Monero Mining Docker Image

At this point we have XMR images for:

• minergate
• dwarfpool
• moneropool
• xmrpool.net
• nanopool

Self-configuring images for various architectures and NVIDIA GPUs all run with a single command.

On my single E5-2695 V2 and single XFX 7770 in windows 7.

Xmr-stak-cpu runs ~555H/s, about 50 H/s slower than on Ubuntu 16.04

The only miner that I can get working on the gpu is Claymores Gpu miner and it does about ~155 H/s

So only about ~105 H/s more using quite a bit more power on windows using both a cpu and gpu miner vs Ubuntu using only a cpu miner.

With that graphics card is not really worth running under windows for all the extra power used for the minimal gain.

Going back to Ubuntu and trying to get the gpu running under Linux.

What's a point mining by docker?

What's a point mining by docker?

When you have 1-5 machines that mine 24x7, not much other than the fact that you can install with a single command and not worry about dependencies/ compiling on metal.

When you have dozens of machines that mine part time mining via Docker allows you to manage miners (e.g. with Rancher) and do things like specifically add hashrate on all machines, some machines and etc. It also makes you somewhat independent of host OS flavors while not incurring the performance penalty or disk overhead of using a VM.

in my case mining by docker + Wolf reduce performance over bare metal around 20%.

Linux or Windows?

Wolf's in both instances?
