I have a system with 5 AMD Vega 64’s, Can I help test out in any way? ---

Build from the source, uncomment ocl\_cuckaroo29 in grin-miner.toml, replicate 4 times more specifying device (from 0 to 4) ---

### build ### for me the easiest way to compile the miner for AMD on linux was: curl [https://sh.rustup.rs](https://sh.rustup.rs) -sSf | sh source $HOME/.cargo/env git clone [https://github.com/mimblewimble/grin-miner.git](https://github.com/mimblewimble/grin-miner.git) cd grin-miner git submodule update --init cargo build --release --features opencl sed -i “s|target/debug/plugins|target/release/plugins|” grin-miner.toml ./install\_ocl\_plugins.sh ### install the binary and plugins to a specific dir mkdir -p /opt/grin-miner/plugins cp grin-miner.toml /opt/grin-miner cp target/release/grin-miner /opt/grin-miner cp target/release/plugins/\*.cuckooplugin /opt/grin-miner/plugins ### for configuration, you have to specify the plugin for each gpu in grin-miner.toml, example for 4 gpu [[mining.miner\_plugin\_config]] plugin\_name = “ocl\_cuckaroo” [mining.miner\_plugin\_config.parameters] device = 0 [[mining.miner\_plugin\_config]] plugin\_name = “ocl\_cuckaroo” [mining.miner\_plugin\_config.parameters] device = 1 [[mining.miner\_plugin\_config]] plugin\_name = “ocl\_cuckaroo” [mining.miner\_plugin\_config.parameters] device = 2 [[mining.miner\_plugin\_config]] plugin\_name = “ocl\_cuckaroo” [mining.miner\_plugin\_config.parameters] device = 3 ---

Thanks for the info, can you let us know what gps you are getting per Vega 64 please? I was getting 2.02-2.2gps using the Windows GGM. ---

@dewminer76 great manual, thanks! how do you install opencl libs and driver? I use amdgpu-pro but perhaps there is a more user friendly way. do you run 4 gpus rig? what is cpu load and ram? I’ve never testes it on multiple gpus. ---

i was running just a short test on 1 vega only, so can’t comment the cpu/mem usage if more gpus are used. also, the amdgpu-pro was used. i can do more tests only on 4gb polaris gpus if the memory reduction commit from [https://github.com/tromp/cuckoo/commit/f9de587703ae259a93fae6c34618a](https://github.com/tromp/cuckoo/commit/f9de587703ae259a93fae6c34618a) allows to use the 4gb gpus. i’m not sure ---

No 4gb support yet. Latest update from @photon: > I was given some info about AMD inner workings and was able to optimize the OpenCL code (polaris 1 gps → 1.5 gps, Vega 2.2 gps → 3.3 gps) this puts AMD at (polaris) or ahead (Vega) of nvidia when it comes to power efficiency. Need to verify I’m not losing edges/cycles, code will of course be open source so that Grin can have healthy mining from day 1. I’ll add this change to grin-miner ASAP ---

Any chance of incorporating this into GGM for Windows as well? Going from 2.2gps to 3.3gps for Vega is a serious improvement! ---

GGM is the miner where it is being currently tested, so yes. ---
