MEMORY ALLOC FAILED: VirtualAlloc failed #2582

Closed entak closed 4 years ago

entak commented 4 years ago

Since switch to randomx, I see the MEMORY ALLOC FAILED: VirtualAlloc failed for each working cpu thread. HW is the same (was working fine - without the error - before the switch), cpu config auto-generated. I googled a bit and done following: -run miner as admin -checked that locking pages in Local Security Policy is allowed for the account -restarted the system, run the mining as a very first thing -increased Virtual RAM Size (I did not find any tips how much to increase it, so tried to set it to 40GB virtual RAM on machine with 8GB physical RAM, 5 mining threads)

None of the above helped. Any tips? Or logs where can I find closer info about the issue? Thx in advance.

breadsax commented 4 years ago

I have the same error, but only on machine with AMD CPU. Intel CPU does not have this error.

entak commented 4 years ago

Few more observations: -I do have it on Intel CPU as well - i5 8500, AMD is Ryzen 3900X -lowering number of mining threads has no effect - tried with single thread -running miner under Win10

pershoot commented 4 years ago

I am getting this (MEMORY ALLOC FAILED: VirtualAlloc failed) on GPU (RX560) on an AMD CPU host (FX-8350).

psychocrypt commented 4 years ago

how do you enabled large page support. Try to run sudo sysctl -w vm.nr_hugepages=1280 maybe your number of large pages is to low!

entak commented 4 years ago

I am using Win OS, so through the Local Security Policy. I didn't find any option to set large pages count there ...

diacomi commented 4 years ago

Same problem here, but I noticed that occurs only if I use --noTest parameter.

psychocrypt commented 4 years ago

can you please post the output with and without --noTest

diacomi commented 4 years ago

Sure...

WITH --noTest

xmr-stak-rx.exe --noTest

xmr-stak-rx 1.0.1-rx 7a9361b22

Miner is compiled by myself with Visual Studio 2017.

entak commented 4 years ago

I can confirm that --noTest causes the issue, without this option, memory is allocated fine and hashrate jumps to almost double. --noTest/test outputs attached, but only extra information there is the MEMORY ALLOC error line. I am running pre-compiled binaries.

christgelinas commented 4 years ago

same issue on windows 10 , i do not use noTest switch.

psychocrypt commented 4 years ago

btw there is a new version 1.0.2 available. I think your issue is not fixed but an issue with memory pinning is fixed.

diacomi commented 4 years ago

@psychocrypt I can confirm that even in 1.0.2 issue is not fixed.

psychocrypt commented 4 years ago

thanks for the report, fixed by #2624

Phoenix-Starlight commented 4 years ago

It still fails for me on Windows 8.1. (Even without the flag). And that with the latest version.

NaikDK commented 3 years ago

Why is it mining based on CPU only? It should mine with GPU also. Any help is appreciated.
