Ubuntu mining

algorithm is difficult to solve in memory. In order to make DAG suitable for memory, each GPU needs 1-2gb of memory. If you get an error prompt: error GPU mining. GPU memory fragmentation? It means you don't have enough memory. GPU mining software is based on OpenCL, amd GPU will be faster than NVIDIA GPU of the same level. ASIC and FPGA are relatively inefficient, so they are blocked. To get OpenCL for chip integration platform, try:
amd SDK OpenCL
NVIDIA CUDA OpenCL
Ubuntu Linux settings
for this quick guide, you will need Ubuntu 14.04 or 15.04 and fglrx image driver. You can also use NVIDIA drives and other platforms, but you have to find your own way to get an effective OpenCL installation, such as genoil's ethminer fork
if you are using 15.04, go to & quot; Software and updates 〉 extra drives & quot; Set to & quot; Use the video driver & quot; from fglrx for AMD graphics accelerator
if you are using 14.04, go to & quot; Software and updates 〉 extra drives & quot; Set to & quot; Use the video driver & quot; from fglrx for AMD graphics accelerator;. Unfortunately, for some people, this method may not work, because there is a known program error in Ubuntu 14.04.02 that will prevent you from switching to the exclusive graphics drive necessary for GPU mining
therefore, if you encounter this program error, go to & quot; "Software and update" update & quot; Select & quot; Pre release reliable update proposal & quot;. Then, back to & quot; Software and updates 〉 extra drives & quot; Set to & quot; Use the video driver & quot; from fglrx for AMD graphics accelerator;. After restarting, it's worth checking that the drive is now properly installed (for example, by going to & quot; Additional drives & quot;)
no matter what you do, if you are using 14.04.02, once installed, do not change the drive or drive configuration. For example, the use of aticonfig – initial (especially the - F, - force option) will & quot; Destruction & quot; Your settings. If you accidentally change the configuration, you will need to uninstall the drive, restart, install the drive again and restart.
it's basically a waste of electricity.
As a system disk, Disk C takes up a lot of space, which is one of the reasons why the computer runs slowly. In addition, in addition to the system itself will occupy C disk space, usually some bad habits will also lead to excessive occupation of C disk, the following recommends several methods of disk cleaning and optimization
clean the C disk
the operation method is as follows:
1. Click "Microsoft logo in the lower left corner" & gt; Set (shape like a gear) - & gt; System - & gt; Storage
tips: This tool is faster in optimizing SSD hard disk, but it needs to wait for a period of time for ordinary mechanical hard disk, and the specific time is directly related to the space occupation of hard disk. It is recommended that you do not perform other tasks when optimizing, so as not to affect the processing process
in addition, this function is for mechanical hard disk. If you are using SSD, there is no need to defragment, otherwise it will accelerate aging

the space occupied by the computer desktop is all the space of disk C. more files will also slow down disk C. It is recommended to select other disks other than disk C when installing applications or storing files
