One K-32 plot in 20 minutes?

General Chia Discussion
1

BIG UPDATE: unless you are using RAM as disk, a normal user with NVMe with traditonal RAM method, 1 plot finishes under 4 hours.

Test done on an i7-8700K at 4.3 GHz (100% core and thread utilisation), phase 1 finished in 55 minutes, on 2 Evo Plus drives as temp1 and temp2. (These specs are probably “above” the average chia user specs, majority do not have Samsung Evo Pluses, Intel Core i-Ks.)

It’s currently only on Linux (if otherwise hint a working Windows version in the comments).

Anyone working on a Windows version?

The first programmer who compiles a descent version for Windows, please give him some donations. :slight_smile:

Need to check that. My JBOD with 512GB RAM would love it I assume.

You are copying the same thing, giving us the exactly the same final files, just the names changed. Do a bit differently, maybe turn it into Windows version.

" stotiks/chia-plotter, forked from madMAx43v3r/chia-plotter", hahaha, "copied from… " rather :slight_smile:

Windows version here. GitHub - stotiks/chia-plotter. Running on my 5900x using 2 temps drives. Getting 2194.27 sec a plot.

But stotiks also contributed his work to the main repo of madMAx43v3r.
This is a normal workflow to fork, improve things and merge it back to mainline.

They do pass the plot filter right?

I can’t see a Windows version download link on the GitHub page.

Interesting, doesn’t know that JBODs does have ram for general purpose computing.
Do you mean your server with the attached JBOD?

10

I call it “My JBOD”. Its basically a server with a 24x drive bay. Used for hyperconverged architetcures mainly.

11

There is a zipfile in the download code button, that contains the exe file.

Can’t find it. Better make a Windows link under “Install” on the same page.

13

just realized it’s not there now, let me look to see if I can find where I downloaded it from.

14

Looks like they pulled the pre-compiled executable version out of the zipfile now.

15

Yeah, I was pulling my hair out to find the zip file…
Here, a video me trying to find it:

The pre-releases for Windows are here: Releases · stotiks/chia-plotter · GitHub

It’s really cool, but I don’t think I will use it.

System is dialed in now. I would have to get 40 minutes or less with this running a single plot. If a 5900x can do it in 2200 sec, I doubt a 3900x can do it in 2400 sec.

This way would be much easier though for a new system. Saves a lot of time and effort to dial in a system and find the right parallel settings

One big benefit to me is the RAMDisk since this may improve the long term health of my NVMEs I was using for plotting.

yes that is a good point, If you have a bundle of memory in a server or something is it better for sure.

Yes, #Tydeno they pass the plot filter, and plots test.
