Windows Farmer Errors in log gemini-1b-2022-jun-18 about sloth256-189 HOT 7 CLOSED

Yes, it tries to use GPU, but apparently fails and switches back to CPU automatically.
We will look into it though, thanks for reporting!

Does application crash from this or continues?

Also which Windows version and which GPU do you have?

from sloth256-189.

1 - Waiting sync process... for farmer make plots to check....

2 - I have integrated GPU in CPU (AMD Ryzen 7 4800U) and discreete NVidia RTX 2060.
(Notebook) / Windows 10 Pro 21H1 19043.1706 (farmer). But node deployed on Linux)

Not sure what response to 1 means. Does it crash or just writes those logs, but works fine?

It is not recommended for node and farmer to be on separate machines, it will not work properly.

Farmer works. (i wait some time to node start sync...).

So ignore this errors at farmer start ?

Found a similar issue in hashcat/hashcat#1423.

Looks like the code we use expects ROCm, which isn't a thing natively on Windows.

I think we should:

• skip unsupported devices while being able to use supported ones; I did such patches in some places, but not when compiling kernel
• figure out if we can make it compile, even if ending up with lower performance, on AMD GPUs without ROCm

Either way, nothing to be done in this repo, moving into sloth256-189 instead.
