Memory leak using newest version with avx and sse

Opened this issue · 7 comments

I am getting huge amount of paged memory in use when running avx or sse. I have 16GB ram and 10GB is used because of paged memory caused by running blago miner.

Wow, that's a lot. Can you drop me some details of your system: Number of drives, Number of PoC1 and PoC2 drives, CacheSize and CacheSize2 Setting from miner.conf. Thx!

I have 8 drives and 10 partitions. 0 PoC1 and 7 PoC2 drives. the CacheSize was originally set to 10000 i believe but i thought that it could be causing the issue so i removed the cache settings. This did not fix the issue though. It helped slightly but I will still get 10GB paged mem usage but then it might drop after reading all my drives for the round. Sometimes it drops other times it does not.

strange, my 40x8TB disk system uses only 600mb ram. Don't get the 0 PoC1 and 7 PoC2 drives, that's 7 drives in total not 8?

Could you reset your CacheSizes in config and test again:

"CacheSize" : 32768,
"CacheSize2" : 524288,

If not working, could you test this:

Best,

any news?

Just got around to testing today. Changing the cache size on the current version did not work. I then tried the new version and for the first 2 rounds things were great but after the third I am back to 8GB of paged memory.

Many thanks for the screenshot! Can you please test the following: disable the showwinner function, set it to false. I had users reporting that it is not working properly. As i don‘t see any winner information on your screen, i assume it fails and causes memory issues.

This seems to have fixed the issue. I also have set the Useboost option to false as well.
