these could be interesting as well: https://www.anandtech.com/print/13047/ngd-launches-catalina-2-programmable-ssds NGD Launches Catalina 2 Programmable SSDs: 16 TB - 32 TB, ARM A-53 Cores

It doesn't look like they are Keen on selling things
2018-07-06 01:12:54
Fireduck
Cool concept
2018-07-06 01:36:17
Fireduck
Contact sales if interested = it costs too much money so we need to hard sell it

What do you think of that rig for a memory machine as part of the distributed memory mining?
2018-07-06 07:07:42
Fireduck
for anyone who downloaded the chunked field 8 torrent, it included an extra file and has been fixed
2018-07-06 07:08:00
Fireduck
I suggest removing that torrent and getting the new one
2018-07-06 07:08:09
Fireduck
it should recheck and resume with what you have

@Fireduck is that really a X399 in there? X390 would seem more plausible as the X399 is a naples dual socket platform

@Fireduck but if i parse block diagrams right, 8 hyperthreads per memory channel, seems legit
2018-07-06 11:00:41
Rotonen
@Fireduck also maybe get a suitable case and a closed loop liquid cooler, and get a platinum or titanium certified seasonic power supply - never skimp on the PSU
2018-07-06 11:02:58
Rotonen
`94% efficiency at 50% system load` seems nice, also fanless

@Fireduck i've not seen any performance hits or gains across miner versions, i suppose jvm tweaking and systems tweaking sidestep whatever it is others hit

I think the diff in hr from versions depends on the amount of cores/mem. I definitely see a difference on AWS and so do others that I've talked to.
2018-07-06 11:58:25
Rotonen
also how exactly the memory they provision to you maps to the backing hardware
2018-07-06 11:58:40
Rotonen
if it spreads across more channels, you win

snowplough is now running 1.2.0

7200 snow are generated per day?
2018-07-06 15:28:41
Fireduck
144*50.
2018-07-06 15:28:47
Fireduck
So yeah
2018-07-06 16:55:54

@Rotonen I think the X399 is the motherboard chipset, but I don't know. I buy new parts infrequently enough where I am never really sure.
2018-07-06 16:56:31
Fireduck
thanks, I'll put in that power supply in case I ever get that system
2018-07-06 16:56:54
Fireduck
I ordered a refurbished Dell R900 server with 256gb DDR2
2018-07-06 16:57:03
Fireduck
I'm sure it will sound like a jet engine
2018-07-06 16:57:16
Fireduck
but at $700, hard to pass up
2018-07-06 17:13:04
Fireduck
@Rotonen thanks for doing that testing across miner versions
2018-07-06 18:15:29

in example for arktika it says "java -Xmx10g -jar Arktika_deploy.jar $1".
2018-07-06 18:15:40
fydel
but there is no Arktika_deploy.jar.
2018-07-06 18:16:15
Fireduck
you have to make it
2018-07-06 18:16:22
Fireduck
bazel build :Arktika_deploy.jar
2018-07-06 18:16:27
fydel
ah. oki. thanks.
2018-07-06 18:59:01
Fireduck
What setup are you trying to do?
2018-07-06 18:59:04
Fireduck
just curious
2018-07-06 19:02:16
fydel
ssdhdd.conf. just for testing.
2018-07-06 19:02:42
fydel
but i was getting an error: INFO: Error talking to mining pool: io.grpc.StatusRuntimeException: UNAVAILABLE: Channel shutdownNow invoked
2018-07-06 19:03:12
fydel
so i decided to drink beer and watch football instead.
2018-07-06 19:06:10
fydel
go belgium :fries:
2018-07-06 19:11:05
Fireduck
so that error can occur if it isn't hashing and thinks it should maybe reset the work channel
2018-07-06 19:11:09
Fireduck
might not be a problem
2018-07-06 19:58:25
fydel
brazil out. lol.
2018-07-06 19:58:32
fydel
^^ any idea?
2018-07-06 20:00:01
Fireduck
how many threads on those fields?
2018-07-06 20:00:04
Fireduck
layers
2018-07-06 20:00:50
Fireduck
found zero chunks is also ungood
2018-07-06 20:01:00
Fireduck
do you have the chunked data files?
2018-07-06 20:01:05
fydel
ah. ok. i am using the normal snowfield.
2018-07-06 20:01:11
Fireduck
you can either use split.sh or download the chunked one
2018-07-06 20:01:15
fydel
i need the chunk files?
2018-07-06 20:01:21
Fireduck
if you already have it downloaded, split.sh will be a lot faster
2018-07-06 20:01:30
fydel
oki. i will try.
2018-07-06 20:01:32
Fireduck
it is in tools
2018-07-06 20:01:41
Fireduck
you'll have to run it in your snowblossom.7 directory
2018-07-06 20:01:51
fydel
okay
