Ethminer: 0.14.0.dev3, mixed Nvidia & AMD, latest drivers, Ubuntu 16.04 B250, AMD not mining

[Ben-and-Ellen]

Been using the ethminer version 0.14.0.dev3, however we're not seeing the difference between using the -G -U -X options. In our system with mixed cards, NV1070s and AMD580s we're only getting the 1070s to mine.

Using Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS ethminer version 0.14.0.dev3+git.83693003 build

The system has two 1070ti cards and one RX580 card. ethminer does mine, however only with the 1070ti cards. The system can see the 1070tis and the 580 but it only mines with the 1070tis...

=TRYING TO MINE=

Using ethminer with -X option set:
only mines with the 1070s

Using ethminer with -G option set:
set --opencl-platform to 0 ethminer uses platform 0 - the two Nvidia cards
set --opencl-platform to 1 but ethminer used platform 0 - the two Nvidia cards
set --opencl-platform to 2 but ethminer used platform 0 - the two Nvidia cards

FYI, for comparison and to make sure that it's not a hardware issue, started claymore miner. It's mining with all three cards with zero changes to drivers / system.

I have that problem too .. even with 0.14.0.dev1 and 0.14.0.dev2.

What I ended up doing is run two separate ethminer processes ... one just for OpenCL .. and another just for CUDA ( using the relevant options for only run for OpenCL / CUDA ).

[rawdez]

try to specify ONLY
--opencl-platform 1
without
--cuda-devices 0 1 --opencl-device 0

[Ben-and-Ellen]

try to specify ONLY
ok

Using -G or -X doesn't seem to engage the opencl mining. I notice that each line refers to cuda-0 or cuda-1. Here's the initial output. It is mining, it's just that it's using cuda only. The output continues in the same vein...

Unless you can get ethminer --list-devices to show the AMD card, anything else you try is a waste of time.

Sorry! The card is seen... I just was not seeing it.

You might be missing at least one of the AMD packages. dpkg -l |grep amdgpu ?

[Ben-and-Ellen]

Unless you can get ethminer --list-devices to show the AMD card, anything else you try is a waste of time.

I agree. Please note that when I tried ethminer --list-devices it does show the AMD card. See first post and below:

Really strange problem. ethminer -X --opencl-platform 1 -SP 2 -S xxxx -O xxxx
Should work and mine with 2x cuda and 1x opencl (amd card)
Also
ethminer -G --opencl-platform 1 -SP 2 -S xxxx -O xxxx
Should work too, but only mine with amd card.

Since you wrote you tested both variants before, i would suggest removing both nvidia cards and try if you can get it mining with just the amd card, with only the -G param set.

If this does not work, i think its some kind of driver issue.

Is rocm-amdgpu-pro installed?
