[xolominer] Mining Hardware comparison

Hm. Why so few? My FX-6300 6 cores @ 3.50 ghz, which I bought for $120 generates 0.85 chains/d…

Xolominer 0.8 RC1
Windows 7 i5-3570k 4c/4t 4.2Ghz 1.76-1.9 chains/day
Ubuntu 12.04 Q9300 4c/4t 2.5 Ghz 0.88 chains/day
Windows Server 2003 L5639 12c/24t 2.133 Ghz 2.53 chains/day

Guess you were luckier than I was that day shrug Luck is a huge factor that people often overlook. Also, I usually mine on ypool so I’m a little unfamiliar with this mining program and was running it for a couple of hour just to see what stats it pulled.

An example of luck, I started my desktop and my wife’s FX 6120 at the same time. I had only 6 cores running on the 9370 but much beefier specs all the way around. 10 hours later the 6120 literally found twice as many chains then the 9370.

And to be honest, I don’t care what it does today…I’m more concerned about how it’s going to be 100 years from now.

Okay this thread is going nowhere. Since the diff changed to 10.0 the stats are not comparable anymore.

My i7 went from 2.7 ch/d to 0.1 (!) :o

Does anybody used Xolominer with a Xeon E7 ? I bought a Dedicated server with E7 inside, and the miner is starting well but no PrimePerSec displayed, and CPu usage : 0%
I only see : WORK RECEIVED multiple times.

Maybe it is not working with this proc.

If it says “WORK RECEIVED” it should be working. You have to wait a couple of minutes before the first stats line comes up. Just be patient :slight_smile:

Not with this server, I have 10 miners, so I know it can be a bit long sometimes.
But this one only display Work received and nothing more. No PPS. And the CPU still at 0%… :frowning:

Am I missing something? I have an i7 2600 on win7-64.

I’m only getting 0.044 chains/d

That seems low.

I have an idea…
We could empirically determine the proportion of “old” speed and “new” speed. For example, I have an i7 2600K at 4.4GHz with two 4GB ram sticks at 1866MHz (9-11-9-28) and I was getting about 2.175 9-chains per day on Debian 64. Now I have about 0.081 10-chains per day. So (2.175 9-CH/d) / (0.081 10-CH/d) = 26.85. Your numbers decrease looks very similar in this term.
If we could accumulate few samples more we could make a guestimate predicting the numbers, therfore data accumulated at diff-9 still would be usefull.

Good idea!
So everyone, more before/after numbers please!

You just reverse engineered mikaelh’s formula. read this thread starting at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=255782.msg3960683#msg3960683

I think it must be set to 12 (6 hyperthreaded cores).

Here are my updated numbers for various machines I have running, some 24/7 and others are randomly running.

Once the diff changed to 10 I changed most of my .bat files to sieveextension=10, I’m not sure if it has made any difference but I have found some blocks so who knows.

Thankfully Xolo has the stats page setup on Beeeeer.org so I can see each of the #s/worker

And knowing now what are the best hardware to mining primecoin the hardware that gets realy XPM. Because if you see some accounts some people are gething 5 to 9 XPM /H so theres good hardware still.

Somebody can help? : )

Quad E7450 2.4GHz 24 cores
xolokram miner running on all cores. cgminer on one video card also.
5100 PPS .167 chains per day

I recompiled primeminer with the the -O3 option and picked up about 200-300 PPS.

Seems the wiki is somewhat useless (i am total noob so could be wrong), but the numbers on the wiki are reflective of prior difficulty levels. Apparently, all the processing numbers change when the difficulty changes.

I cannot tell if the relative performance displayed in the wiki would still be the same today with a higher difficulty.
