Please Help with optimizing config for my Xeon Silver 4210

[Chaya89]

My setup as below;
CUP: Xeon Silver 4210
Ram: 32GB
Temp: S70 M.2 PCIe GEN3X4 NVMe 1TB
Final Directory: On NAS

[davevandyke]

run 4 x 1tb drives in raid 0 (sudo mdadm -C /dev/md0 /dev/nvme[1-4]n1 -n 4 -l 0 -c 64)
or divide the job below into 4 parts. You might want to increase "stagger_minutes" if it takes more than 15 min to write the file to your NAS.

name: job1
max_plots: 999
farmer_public_key:
pool_public_key:
temporary_directory: /mnt/ssd
temporary2_directory:
destination_directory:
- /mnt/dst/03
- /mnt/dst/04
size: 32
bitfield: true
threads: 8
buckets: 128
memory_buffer: 4000
max_concurrent: 9
max_concurrent_with_start_early: 12
stagger_minutes: 15
max_for_phase_1: 4
concurrency_start_early_phase: 4
concurrency_start_early_phase_delay: 0
temporary2_destination_sync: false

Thanks so much for reply bro, here my configuration. I am sure it good or not.

• name: Chia_Temp
  max_plots: 999
  farmer_public_key:
  pool_public_key:
  temporary_directory: E:\Temp
  temporary2_directory:
  destination_directory: X:\New_Plots
  size: 32
  bitfield: true
  threads: 8
  buckets: 128
  memory_buffer: 4000
  max_concurrent: 3
  max_concurrent_with_start_early: 7
  initial_delay_minutes: 0
  stagger_minutes: 0
  max_for_phase_1: 1
  concurrency_start_early_phase: 4
  concurrency_start_early_phase_delay: 0
  temporary2_destination_sync: false

I only have 1TB PCle to store the temp file. this is create multi plot at the same time or not?

HEY! I have 4x1tb NVME SSD INTEL, How can I run them in raid 0 @davevandyke

Nvm just found this https://youtu.be/3-655bm9N0s?t=353
Do u think is better having them all 4 in 1? or 2 and 2 ?

[davevandyke]

Oh. I thought you had 4 drives of 1 TB each. More SSD storage will greatly improve your plotting ability. I would aim for at least 2 TB (preferably 3) for a 10 core processor. With only 1 TB you will be limited to 3 - 4 plots at a time.

thanks bro 3 -4 plots is fine with me. but the problem i not sure with configuration. can you help?

[davevandyke]

TL;DR I would test with using them in a raid-0 and separately. Some people have reported that non-raided is faster, but I like combining the space to allow for more plots. A 1tb drive is ~931GB formatted and a Chia k=32 temp file is 239 GB meaning that you can conservatively do 3 plots per drive x 4 drives = 12 plots. A 4 drive raid-0 gives you 3,724 GB and allows for 15 simultaneous plots. Because a temp file is often less than the full 239 GB you can tune the values to get more than 15 plots at a time.

OKay! Exactly the math I did I think it compensates the fact that are 4 in 1, even if is slightly slower the plotting side 3 more plots its worth it lets see how long it takes me to plot them, thank you!
