won't hash on gpu

[kelliblueeyes]

I've tried both the v3 beta and the v2. Compiled from source on mac os x catalina. The cpus work fine, the gpu won't hash.

I've got a 2010 mac pro with a sapphire radeon pulse rx580 8GB on catalina.

I followed your instructions in the read me, and also here: https://www.grin-forum.org/t/grin-v1-0-step-by-step-miner-guide-on-macos-english-version/1630

the miner usually starts with no error, device 0 shows for gpu, connects to the pool and receives work, but it won't hash, says inf.

Screenshots are here: https://www.grin-forum.org/t/gpu-wont-hash-mac-os-catalina/6801

Did you compile the miner yourself? Instructions above are likely outdated.

I did compile the official grin miner on macos catalina with the instructions on git hub I posted about it on the grin forum and the people who replied to the thread said it looked like I followed the insteructions Probably doesn't matter, as I was only ever able to get the cpus to mine at .22gps even though the miner was reporting I was finding shares, never was able to get my gpu to work. Some people said it may be the pool connection issue, since the grinmint website wasn't reporting the hash I was producing, and not really that the gpu wouldn't mine. So they advised me to contact pool support about the connection issue before spending more time on the gpu

I'm the pool manager of Grinmint and by the look of it it looks like your GPU is mining at all so Grinmint will not show you anything. Did you uncomment this line before compiling? https://github.com/mimblewimble/grin-miner/blob/master/Cargo.toml#L40

[kelliblueeyes]

I actually re-compiled the binary numerous times with different options while I was trying to troubleshoot the issue, probably, unless that was in the read.me on github I did not compile without uncommenting that line. I will try doing that, and see if it will work

Without that line you will not compile any GPU mining plugin (so no GPU mining can be done).

[kelliblueeyes]

umm, ok. I just pulled the code off github (again) I can't find that line in any of the files. I did compile the opencl plugins, and I can get the sevice to show up, but not labled as a gpu

You mean these pluging, correct?

Sorry I just noticed that you were trying to mine with the OpenCL plugin. Give me some time to check a few things...

[kelliblueeyes]

the only line in that file that's commented out are the cuda pluggins, I'm using opencl

I just recompiled from source with the instructions on github, noticed something interesting you may like to know

git clone https://github.com/mimblewimble/grin-miner.git

cd

grin-miner git submodule update --init cargo build

cargo build --features opencl

./install_ocl_plugins.sh

Doing this builds the binary in ~/grin-miner/target/debug

but builds all the opencl stuff in ~/grin-miner/target/release

I've been cp'ing the opencl stuff from release folder to the debug folder to run the program with opencl, but I assume they're meant to end up in the same directory

Can you compile with cargo build --features opencl --release ?

[kelliblueeyes]

ok, I did that, still wind up with this: (see attachments tried with both ocl-cuckaroo and cuckatoo plugins), and no report of any activity on the grinmint dashboard

grin miner.toml

[[mining.miner_plugin_config]] plugin_name = "cuckarood_cpu_compat_29" [mining.miner_plugin_config.parameters] nthreads = 8

[[mining.miner_plugin_config]] plugin_name = "ocl_cuckaroo" [mining.miner_plugin_config.parameters] platform = 1 device = 0

Any idea @hashmap ?

A mac developer who's also into mining looked at the grin miner and says:

"I had look at grin-miner and it seems the AMD side of things requires the drivers which aren't available for macOS so unfortunately unless there's another miner around which doesn't that's not going to work right now. The majority of algorithms have this issue which makes GPU mining on Mac more than a little tricky."

It's looks like macOS use a very old version of openCL. Closing, probably duplicate of #199
