CHIA and PrimoCache

Hi, Well, I guess it's inevitable. I'm a proud long time user of PrimoCache and I've been tempted to check out how PrimoCache could help on CHIA Blockchain ( https://github.com/Chia-Network/chia-blockchain/wiki/Beginners-Guide ) As far I could understand CHIA, seems it relies heavily upon fast read/...

L2 cache in SSD M.2 drive: cheaper SATA or expensive NVMe?

Hi, Now I have a new motherboard with M.2 socket. Nice! I plan to put an SSD drive over there and use it as L2 cache with Primocache, using a regular HDD (Seagate Barracuda 1 Tb) as main storage. My options are: a) 240Gb ADATA XPG GAMMIX S11 NVMe SSD (Read 3200Mb/s / Write: 1700Mb/s sequencial) (US$...

Re: L2 Cache not working

Sorry for this late reply.
After a Windows update which crashed my OS (that infamous April's Update), I didn't set up PrimoCache back, yet.
But in my other PC primocache is running perfectly fine.

Re: L2 Cache not working

Hi,
Actually this is recent window 10 install, with less than 200mb of space used in HD.

And I'm not try to cache specific files, just normal use of Primocache.

L2 Cache not working

Hi! I use Primocache my 3 PC (all registered, of course), but I'm having issues with one of then. I'm trying to set a 256GB SSD as L2 Cache, but seems there is not much data been written over there. The only parameter I have is the Gather interval, but it has low or not impact at all. So it has very...

Re: Prefetch last cache: where is it saved ?

support wrote:By default, it's in the program installation folder. Actually only an index file will be stored.
In this case, I guess if I reinstall primocache in my partitioned SSD drive, it will write/read the prefecthed L1 cache data over there.
Is it correct?

Prefetch last cache: where is it saved ?

Hi !

I'd like to know where the prefetch last cache is saved. Is it saved to L2 cache (usualy a fast SSD) or to one of cached HD (slow ones) ?
I'm using Primocache 2.7.0 in both office and home desktop.

Re: Windows 10 - L2 Cache not storing data

Hi !
I have good news !

After changing Cache Configuration -> L2 Cache -> Advanced -> Gather Interval to 1 Sec and reboot,
the L2 cache started to grow.

Cache hit is a bit low, but I guess it will improve over time.

Thanks!

Windows 10 - L2 Cache not storing data

Hi I'd like to report that Primo Cache 2.0.0 L2 cache is not storing data. After several boots, the L2 cache doesn't grow. After Windows 10 Pro install, Primo Cache lost license info, but works just fine after I insert my keys. I set up again the configurations: Cache L1 as 3GB of OS Managed Memory ...
