So I wake up in the morning and check on how the Windows 10 machine is doing, and it has slowed to a crawl again. We have some data. Now, it may be that the machine was sleeping, or it may be the case that it's just been running for a long time, and has got itself into "the state of badness". Anyway - some screenshots, showing that the Disk usage is absolutely where the problem is, though that might be a symptom rather than a cause:.
The "System and compressed memory" process is interesting too. Is that indicative of a compressed drive, which is then contributing further to eth. So yeah, having flipped to a Release build, running it directly so I can ditch Visual Studio process , and everything is much happier. Seems you really need 8GB of memory for Win10 to be workable. But yeah, privacy issues are just awful.
I still think that Microsoft will open source Windows kernel in the next year or so. Everything points in that direction, and I think that having an open source kernel is going to be essential if they want Windows to have a future in IoT. OSes have become completely commodity. Nobody's going to trust closed-source OSes for IoT or for wearable devices, where they get to be such an intimate part of our lives.
Apple can get away with it because they are so "premium". I would like to try, yes, aedelsten , but the codebases have been forked for several months, and it might not be an entirely painless experience. I want to try, though:. Mining is one of those. Sign in to start talking. Yeah - I can believe it. Get a horrible feeling that it will all work when the syncs happen once ie.
Still monkeying around with chmod and chown on that new machine. I don't blame you. I'll keep beating my head against it this evening. I actually did not include my proposed fix in my testing. And then tomorrow I can try with the new machine again.
I think the chmod settings are right now, but it can wait. So you think it should be good next cycle? All that breakage seems to start with permissions.
The git clone for webthree-helpers which everything else is keyed off failed. Because there were no right permissions. I think that is fixed now, but it might not be.
Either way, it can wait. We should get things green ahead of getting the extra machine working. Windows 10 performance, subtly , smartbitcoin , chriseth , gcolvin , chfast. This is a decent spec laptop, sitting there doing nothing except a VS debugger and eth. And it's sucking in 1 block every seconds.
And then I did a fresh pull of webthree-umbrella, rebuilt and re-ran and now it is fine. And here I was hoping I'd never have to think about Windows performance again There are 3 unanswered questions on alethzero , and also this one on alethone. And 5 on mix. If anyone feels lucky today: Would be great to get a review here: If you want to try turning that new OS X Jenkins node back on, it might "just work" now.
The Homebrew and other nightly builds worked. I've not checked through the outputs for SOLC goodness, though. That is 5chdn , LianaHus. Anyway - some screenshots, showing that the Disk usage is absolutely where the problem is, though that might be a symptom rather than a cause: The world is such that it want sophisticated technology with less burns of Hardwares, software and all that runs technology.
RE questions on stackexchange. Thanks for pointing those out, 5chdn. I've answered the AlethZero ones. Somebody else answered the AlethOne question since. Please do keep highlighting these, and we can keep knocking them down. Maybe there is a way for me to get notifications too?
Haven't looked into it. I should, shouldn't I, rather than lazily pushing that back to you. Yes - just found that, and did it for cpp-ethereum, mix, alethzero, alethone and mining, and we'll see how that goes!
Now it has been running for another hour or so, the bottleneck has moved. Still getting multi-second per block times, but it looks like "System and compressed memory" is now the hot zone, with nearly MB of memory use. I've not tried, but I can build that now and switch. I've probably got as much information as I am going to get out of this.
Actually, I will just reboot and restart, and see whether it starts fast and slows down. And then I'll flip to Release.
Besides eth the biggest mem hogs are VS and Chrome, so it wouldn' thurt to kill them if you can, plus anything else that might hit the disk just because it feels like it. Basic stuff you probably already tried. Did an experiment with GPU mining overnight. Only got 4GB of memory and that is obviously not a comfortable place for the app.
Win10 seems pretty shitty to me, compared to the previous ones. Feels more sluggish as well. Looks awesome and feels great, but not sure about performance tbh. This is also after it having been around for months I noticed it was hogging about 1.
In investigation turns out to be a new feature. Yes - detailed a little here - http: Wow - it's really flying now! This is a feature of windows 10, instead of paging information to the hard disk when not needed, windows 10 now holds it in ram in a compressed format if possible. It is suppose to be quicker to decompress data from ram than from disk.
I told a friend who hated Windows 8 to "upgrade" to 7. But he went and got 10 instead. And yeah, OS X is doing that compressed memory thing too. I'm doing some research on the GPU mining libs. Is there a plan to merge the cuda miner code ie libethash-cuda from the genoil fork https: I want to try, though: GitHub's description "This branch is commits ahead, 22 commits behind ethereum: Perhaps I should keep working in the fork for now and then move to the master once the reboot is complete.
Is that still estimated to happen in ? I'm starting work on the repo reorg this week, and it is slated to be completed in the next 2 weeks or so. Might be a bit longer if things break a lot in the transition! Best source of information is http: There are a bunch of posts on there about Casper, and PoCs which have been built, etc. I thought it might be months off. And yes, I'll keep an eye on the blogs.
Thanks for the link to the slides, I haven't seen those. Aside, I noticed that the Dwarfpool miners currently account for a huge chunk of the total hashrate. I ask as I have a thought rattling around that might make it easier to spread the work to average user's pcs. Yes, it's a big concern, and there have been multiple discussions at http: The latest development is a bounty being offered by the Ethereum Foundation for people to write an open source mining pool solution.
I'm new to Ethereum and it really is blowing my mind with the possibilities if it can be steered well and widely adopted and not hijacked by big money. I'll look at those links.
