Decred just got a major pump...

Where are you pulling these major earning figures from SP? There isn't anything to help calculate profit right now and I don't image you've actually put a notable amount of hash on the network.

And since everything but the nonce is constant for ~2.5 minutes, you can probably move some of the calculations to compile time and generate a new kernel for each new block.  Since you're already building a custom llvm, you can probably get the kernel compile and dispatch time down to a few ms.

Are you getting valid blocks with this miner?

I can't see which hardware you've reached the shown speed with...

Another potential issue to consider is cache pollution by the background kernel as that could also severely degrade the performance of the foreground tasks. I wish I knew all this from the very beginning, but I suppose we all live and learn.

New version: http://nicehash.com/tools/excavator_v1.1.4a_Win64.zip

Changes:


GTX 1060 6G gets 310 sol/s @ 90 W. GTX 1060 3G gets 255 sol/s @ 72 W.

Got there easy. It's not much more profitable to benefit more time tinkering with. So maybe higher speeds are possible with different clocks/drivers.

I don't sell ROMs - I modify the ROM of the customer, as that's actually safe to do. Will send a PM.

GG is finally running faster with the parallelized Round 0.
I fused Round 0 with Rounds 7 and 8 to alleviate cache contamination and to improve the cache hit ratio for the next Round 1. I could even merge it with the solution-searching kernel for better results.
Good stuff.
