Interested to know how much wear on temp1 (ssd)?

[michealChin]

First, this is really a great plotter and thanks to author's effort to come out with this faster plotter! I would like to know if temp1 using ssd and temp2 using ramdisk 110GB, how much wear of ssd in temp1 can I save? According to chia official, using the official plotter, there are 1.6tb of data write per plots on ssd. Thanks!

I have tried,If 1.6TB is true, it will save 1.2T,only 400GB written,

Are you sure? Because the author from the youtube link above said that the actual amount of data written is still around 1.3TiB? Some people say 1.0tib, some say 1.4tb, I am confused and not sure who is correct?

I have tried,totally 400GB written to temp1 during p1-p4 , but not sure about temp2.

Thanks for the answer! May I know how can I know how much write have been done on ssd? Thanks

I added another ramcache (Primocache) for my NVME SSD,it shows me that totally 400GB cached for plotting.

Are you using the 110gb ramdisk setting for temp2?

[HEROFreeman]

Yes，110 for temp2 & 4GB cache for temp1 attached to NvmeSSD

what's the total RAM of your machine ? 128GB or more ?

Cool!

128G,It's enough for plotting, u can reset temp2 to 108GB=110592MB,then u will get more than 16GB for other applications.

Hi, HEROFreeman if i set -r=40 or 50, the 16GB (128GB total -108GB temp2 - 4GB system = 16GB) is enough to plot in 40 threads or 50 threads?

It depends on how many processes you are running. It is best to set it according to the number of your physical cores. No matter how many plotter I run, I only set up to 16 threads to run (AMD 5950X 16C32T). If there are more than 4 processes, I will Reduce to 8 threads and set cpu affinity. The memory usage is determined according to the number of processes and running buckets, and has nothing to do with the number of threads. 128 buckets in a process only occupy less than 4GB of memory, and 256 buckets are even less.
