[SUGGESTION] Variable benchmarking duration #374

Closed Nickduino closed 6 years ago

Nickduino commented 6 years ago

*Added Palgin Neoscrypt miner (via wrapper) to additional miners folders - THIS MINER NEEDS A MINIMUM OF 600s-900s BENCHMARK TIME TO WORK, IF YOU ONLY HAVE ONE NVIDIA GPU GROUP USE API VERSION

Would it be possible to change the benchmarking duration with the miner or algo? Set it to 4-5 min normally but 10-15 on some others?

Or better, modulate it automatically: stop benchmarking once value has stopped raising (or decreasing) and has been stable for some time (two minutes?).

I recommend use N-PalginNeoJust, it has no problem with shoter intervals

Nickduino commented 6 years ago

I know, but you need only one nvidia group.

But rather than benchmarking everything for 600 sec, why not benchmark for 200 sec of stable hashrate?

Nickduino commented 6 years ago

Or stop the benchmark if the first results are really shitty? Or benchmark twelve algos at a time (if you have twelve identical cards)?

N-PalginNeoJust, works with more than one nvidia group.

Default benchmark time is 300 (600 is recommend only if powerlimit feature is used), I have seen included config.txt has 600 at default, changed to 300.

Good plan
