Version 2.11.3 - March 17, 2013
|
||||
|
||||
- Update the hashmeter at most 5 times per second.
|
||||
- Usbutils use its own internal read buffer
|
||||
- Calculate work utility for devices that support target diffs of greater than
|
||||
1, and update scrypt code to use it.
|
||||
- usbutils allow read termination match to be a string
|
||||
- Set default GPU threads to 1 for scrypt.
|
||||
- Connect backup stratum pools if the primary pool cannot deliver work.
|
||||
- Use a new algorithm for choosing a thread concurrency when none or no shader
|
||||
value is specified for scrypt.
|
||||
- Do not round up the bufsize to the maximum allocable with scrypt.
|
||||
- Remove the rounding-up of the scrypt padbuffer which was not effectual and
|
||||
counter-productive on devices with lots of ram, limiting thread concurrencies
|
||||
and intensities.
|
||||
- bufsize is an unsigned integer, make it so for debug.
|
||||
- Update the hashmeter once per second but only display the extra logs every
|
||||
opt_log_inteval.
|
||||
- add a dummy ztex to usbutils so cgminer -n lists ztex also
|
||||
- nDevs required for -n with usb
|
||||
- USB device list - convert some common error numbers to messages
|
||||
- USB -n 'known' text only without ---usb-list-all
|
||||
- USB modify -n and --usb-dump to only show known devices or use new
|
||||
--usb-list-all option to see all
|
||||
- Make pool adding while running asynchronous, using the pool test thread
|
||||
functionality.
|
||||
- Only curl easy cleanup a stratum curl if it exists.
|
||||
- Sacrifice the ram of curl handles in stratum disconnects when we have built
|
||||
with old libcurl to avoid crashes.
|
||||
- cgminer -n to include a USB device list
|
||||
- usbutils allow call of usb_all() from other code
|
||||
- Convert gbt_lock to a cg_lock.
|
||||
- Add intermediate variants of cglocks that can be up or downgraded to read or
|
||||
write locks and use them for stratum work generation.
|
||||
- Move the stratum and GBT data to be protected under a new cg_lock data_lock.
|
||||
- Convert the ch_lock to cg_lock.
|
||||
- Convert the control_lock to a cg_lock.
|
||||
- Remove unused qd_lock.
|
||||
- Implement cg_lock write biased rwlocks.
|
||||
- do usb_initialise() after the started message so we see it
|
||||
- --usb-dump display brief dump if value = 0
|
||||
- USB add --usb options to limit USB device selection v0.1
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Version 2.11.2 - March 9, 2013
|
||||
|
||||
- Whitelist AMD APP SDK 2.8 for diablo kernel.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ON USAGE:
|
||||
|
||||
After saving configuration from the menu, you do not need to give cgminer any
|
||||
arguments and it will load your configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
Any configuration file may also contain a single
|
||||
"include" : "filename"
|
||||
to recursively include another configuration file.
|
||||
Writing the configuration will save all settings from all files in the output.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Single pool, regular desktop:
|
||||
|
||||
cgminer -o http://pool:port -u username -p password
|
||||
|
||||
Single pool, dedicated miner:
|
||||
|
||||
cgminer -o http://pool:port -u username -p password -I 9
|
||||
|
||||
Single pool, first card regular desktop, 3 other dedicated cards:
|
||||
|
||||
cgminer -o http://pool:port -u username -p password -I d,9,9,9
|
||||
|
||||

||||
cgminer -o http://pool1:port -u pool1username -p pool1password -o http://pool2:port -u pool2usernmae -p pool2password -I 9
|
||||
|
||||
Add overclocking settings, GPU and fan control for all cards:
|
||||
|
||||
cgminer -o http://pool:port -u username -p password -I 9 --auto-fan --auto-gpu --gpu-engine 750-950 --gpu-memclock 300
|
||||
|
||||
Add overclocking settings, GPU and fan control with different engine settings for 4 cards:
|
||||
|
||||
cgminer -o http://pool:port -u username -p password -I 9 --auto-fan --auto-gpu --gpu-engine 750-950,945,700-930,960 --gpu-memclock 300
|
||||
|
||||
Single pool with a standard http proxy, regular desktop:
|
||||
|
||||
cgminer -o "http:proxy:port|http://pool:port" -u username -p password
|
||||
|
||||
Single pool with a socks5 proxy, regular desktop:
|
||||
|
||||
cgminer -o "socks5:proxy:port|http://pool:port" -u username -p password
|
||||
|
||||
Single pool with stratum protocol support:
|
||||
|
||||
cgminer -o stratum+tcp://pool:port -u username -p password
|
||||
|

The list of proxy types are:
|
||||
http: standard http 1.1 proxy
|
||||
http0: http 1.0 proxy
|
||||
socks4: socks4 proxy
|
||||
socks5: socks5 proxy
|
||||
socks4a: socks4a proxy
|
||||
socks5h: socks5 proxy using a hostname
|
||||
|
||||
If you compile cgminer with a version of CURL before 7.19.4 then some of the above will
|
||||
not be available. All are available since CURL version 7.19.4
|
||||
|
||||
If you specify the --socks-proxy option to cgminer, it will only be applied to all pools
|
||||
that don't specify their own proxy setting like above
|
||||
|
||||
READ WARNINGS AND DOCUMENTATION BELOW ABOUT OVERCLOCKING
|
||||
|
||||
To configure multiple displays on linux you need to configure your Xorg cleanly
|
||||
to use them all:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo aticonfig --adapter=all -f --initial
|
||||
|
||||
On Linux you virtually always need to export your display settings before
|
||||
starting to get all the cards recognised and/or temperature+clocking working:
|
||||
|
||||
export DISPLAY=:0
