Hello, did you manage to find a solution to the dual CPU problem? I have the same issue, tried NUMA off and on, no difference…
Look at the very bottom of this page.
No idea if the link works I’ve haven’t got Telegram.
No I never did. It still works perfectly fine as a harvester, but it’s just about as fast CPU plotting as GPU plotting unfortunately. My guess is that it is just the program not liking the separate CPUs controlling their own memory channels. The majority of my plotting was on a separate computer, so I never ended up looking more into it.
wow nossd is #1… remember when they first posted here and everyone called it a scam lol

Guilty - sorry guys for calling you a scam.
I’m all-in now with NoSSD - keep those servers strong & running for us please.

How do you re plot for nossd, sir? for such a large cluster.
A lot of time! I have 6 plotters with fast GPUs and an SSD buffer; I have re-plotted about 12 PiB to NoSSD at this point.

I have a test rig with a 4080 and 7950X3D and 128G, I can plot c15 to NVME in about 2 minutes while still mining on same rig, I give the miner 5G of vram and the plotter 5G of vram.
Oops, I meant to say my primary plotter machine has no GPU card in it.
On motherboard low-end stuff only in a 1u rack mount machine.
Though technically my primary gaming machine could plot faster, it’s usually in use otherwise.

I’m not willing to risk the home of 71 of my drives by physically cutting open any of the PCI-E slots.
No space in the machine to mount a riser card - too much other stuff in the way.
Supermicro 6047 72-drive model (one of the dual caddies has a bad slot, so 71 usable plot drives).
And yes, over 800 TB of drives in the machine - but farming them remotely via NFS works fine.
The benchmark seems to be WILDLY optimistic on the A2000.
I’ve not seen it claim 7300 supported, but commonly 7100-7200 (close enough) yet it struggles and does NOT handle 5500 at -c15 with lots of “stale” not-processed shares.
The warnings I see are that the “CPU” may be overloaded - which is very odd when only NOSSD is running on the machine (other than OS related stuff).

I think the bandwidth of the system RAM is more of a limiting factor after a certain point. My plotter gets ~70 sec plot times using a 4070Ti, but it has 8 channel DDR4 RAM. Two instances at ~5.5GB of VRAM each gets plot times of 1 min 40 sec.

What processors are you running? Are you plotting to ram disk or nvme?
Its a single processor, Threadripper PRO 3945WX. The destination drive is an enterprise NVME; raid 0 Intel P3608.
Hi all!
Help set up farming + plotting.
Equipment:
- Xeon X5675
- 192GB RAM
- Video 3060 TI 8GB
I’m running on Windows 10
client.exe --no-temp -a -c 15 -d k:\ -d l:\ -w POE
Plotting occurs on the processor
What settings need to be added for this video card (3060 TI 8GB)?
Try adding a -g 3060
Does not work
My command string
client.exe -a (wallet) -d k:\ -d l:\ -c 15 -w POE -g 3060 --no-temp
In terminal:
NoSSDChiaPool version 2.3
Mining GPUs:

I’m not familiar with how NoSSD works, but you are specifying -g at 3060, but the below quote from your post suggests that’s used for setting a memory limit.
Looking at your post, it also suggests its locating 4.597GiB for mining, the remainder would be left for plotting, I’ve no idea whats required for mining/plotting, but try setting -g 2
That’s right, I reduce the memory for mining to 5GB, so 3GB should be used for plotting
But is it specified as GiB or MiB.
PS I took 3060 as a reference to the card - doh!
