Add support for multiple miner instances to segregate GPUs on single rigs #247

Open psynauty opened 5 years ago

psynauty commented 5 years ago

Could you please add support that allows to allocate different GPUs to different pools/algos, allowing for multiple miner instances? E.g. allocate 6 GPUs to mine grin on nicehash using gminer 1.29 and allow for a 2nd instance of gminer to mine grin directly on a pool, e.g. sparkpool. Thank you!

Its a great idea. Will try to find a way for it.

I have no time at all to help you in the next weeks, but I think the easiest way to realize sucha feature could be to just isolate an entire nvOC instance such that all calls to ps/pgrep only take into account the processes related to the nvOC instance running from the current $NVOC path.

In other words, you could have /home/m1/NVOC/mining1 and /home/m1/NVOC/mining2 running at the same time. Will appear as two distinct workers on foreman too.

This is just an idea, feel free to propose yours.

I was thinking about the same path, but then how could we run 2 instances of gnome-terminal with 2 default profiles at boot?

Will deal with that later on. It’s easy to address this issue running other instancees as systemd service. Then we could find a way of getting the old gnome-terminal approach working too.
