ATI-APP-SDK + Pyrit + Cal++ How-To Guide (BT5 KDE 64bit)

Little tip for you guys if you really want to get the most out of your ATI cards update to 11.6 from debian wheezy and use the following script to setup your cards. You will have to setup your clock speeds to suit you but this works well on most 58XX series cards.

Code:

---

#!/bin/bash
#globals
CCLOCK="990"
MCLOCK="300"
FANSPEED="80"

sudo aticonfig --od-enable

#More cards ? well add more loops ;) ie; for four cards 0 1 2 3
for i in 0 1; do
  DISPLAY=:0.$i sudo aticonfig --pplib-cmd="set fanspeed 0 $FANSPEED"
  sudo aticonfig --odsc="$CCLOCK,$MCLOCK" --adapter=$1
done

---

This script will set your fanspeeds to 80% and setup your core clock to 990 and your memory clock to 300 preserving power and keeping your cards a bit cooler considering you will be running them for a while. Let me know how you get on ;)

Hi all, I must say that is a great to see all the different setup peoples have.
On my side, I'm stuck on making C++ "build" because of the same errors on the "Include <cal/cal.hpp>" that it cannot find...

I have installed the "AMD-APP-SDK-v2.5-lnx64.tgz" version instead and apparently it is not at the same place as the version before "...2.4" => /opt/AMDAPP/ now...
I keep changing the location of the "bashrc" file and the appropriate "setup.py" but still just Pyrit works but no help from C++ or OpenCl ...

Can anyone did the same thing?
Here is my box: i7 980x (HT), 12 Gb, EAH5970 ATI.

Right now aircrack worked at 6500 k/s ... would love to see it faster ;)

I would like to use Pyrit at the maximum ...
Thank you for any help you can add.

*FIXED*

Code:

---

:~/pyrit_svn/cpyrit_calpp# python setup.py build install
unavailable enviroment variable ATISTREAMSDKROOT
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 35, in <module>
    CALPP_INC_DIR = os.environ['ATISTREAMSDKROOT']
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/UserDict.py", line 22, in __getitem__
    raise KeyError(key)
KeyError: 'ATISTREAMSDKROOT'

---

For people who are getting this error, do the following:

kwrite /root/pyrit_svn/cpyrit_calpp/setup.py

edit line

Code:

---

CALPP_INC_DIRS.append(os.path.join(CALPP_INC_DIR, 'include'))

---

to

Code:

---

CALPP_INC_DIRS.append(os.path.join(CALPP_INC_DIR, 'include/CAL'))

---

you should get a bunch of warnings but thats ok. after its done, run pyrit list_cores > pyrit benchmark

=========

*EDIT*

I search everywhere, couldn't find answer.

How do you uninstall or may I say go back to using your cpu's as in disabling the gpu. I don't necessarily want to uninstall everything I just installed to get this to work, I just want to go back using both of my cpu's because, I were getting better PMK's vs my 4200 ATI Raedion+1 CPU.

So no fix for the "nothing to be done for install" error yet?

don't worry about that just skip it.. i did.

Getting the same error others have gotten, changing the setup.py file does not work, though I do appreciate the two who suggested it.

Code:

---

syph@root:~/pyrit_svn/cpyrit_calpp# python setup.py build install
unavailable enviroment variable ATISTREAMSDKROOT
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 35, in <module>

Ive gone through quite a bit of errors on this version (bt5 kde 64) tried this entire guide on bt5 gnome 32, bt5 gnome 64, and bt5 r1 64 gnome. none worked, this is the farthest ive come so far.
