1  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: Official CGMINER thread - CPU/GPU miner in C for linux/windows/osx on: August 08, 2011, 05:55:53 AM
Anyone tried CGMINER on an E-Series APU?

Dia

e350 gives ~11mh
cpu is less than 1mh
also with 11.7cata, cpu usage is seriously high on that machine
EDIT: with 11.6 cata cpu usage dropped drastically

best i got on the e350 is poclbcm with latest (your last version that works with it) phatk kernel - 11.5mh

ps. not overclocked.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25135.0;all
these words are the ones that got me confused. perhaps i just landed on this page at different point in time and i didn't see what you did
but i guess its just my damn night shifts... ><

so now i understand that you meant
i.e. not Diapolo's version

but this
Just to make absolutely sure you're not confused any further ...

Here's the diapolo thread, which is about the current OpenCL kernel present in cgminer: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25135.msg332674#msg332674

and here's the thread I was actually talking about: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25135.msg332674#msg332674

got me confused again, since its the same link...
nvm though... ignore me, /troll_mode off xD

Looks like there's a new and improved version of the original
phatk kernel that outperforms diapolo's version, at least for
5XXX series ... maybe worth integrating into cgminer as an
option ?

I'm guessing you didn't read it thoroughly:

Info: A version of this kernel is now used as the basic kernel in the new CGMINER, have a look here:

i've been wondering if there is some way of adding a web interface for remotely monitoring/controlling cgminer.

the simplest way of monitoring is simply redirecting output to a logfile, but how about some way of controlling it? any ideas that dont require ck writing more code?  Wink

Specifically it searches for SSE4.1 and I don't know how that differs from sse4.2 and sse4a

looking at the asm code - it uses "movntdqa" which is a 4.1 instruction - that means intel (only) processors starting with core 2 and newer (core i3, i5, i7)
it also looks like its the only instruction in the code that requires sse4. that explains the marginal difference with sse2 code

perhaps someone more familiar with asm will find a way to use the higher sse sets much more effectively, but for now, the difference between sse2 and sse4(.1) implementation is not worth switching cpu's )

just for reference:

sse 4.2 is intel (only) core i3, i5, i7
sse 4a is amd only starting with barcelona arch

small request,
could you make a "default pool" setting so one can easily switch pools for several configured miners?

1.2.8 from 1.2.7

efficiency dropped in half.
each longpoll is superseded by a "new block detected", so i guess this could be the cause of efficiency drop

Stupid question time, How do I exit a cmd window in Windows 7? the only way I know how is by closing said window.
Ctrl + C

actually it currently isn't working. Use Ctrl+Break
10  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: Downgrade to SDK 2.1? on: July 15, 2011, 09:23:59 PM
with overclocked 5550 im getting ~64M h/s on both 2.4 and 2.1 with latest poclbm
the difference is very very minor (within 0.2 Mh/s).

Perhaps 2.1 more beneficial with HD 4k range cards, but i see no reason to use it with HD 5k-6k

win32 v1.2.6 still has problem with combined gpu+cpu mining and with cpu mining.

radeon 5550 + core i3 (should be 60+Mh/s + ~8Mh/s - both overclocked)

"-g 0 -t 4" - cpu threads keep getting restarted every 60 seconds and don't complete any work.
as someone suggested in the previous topic, it would be much more efficient to make all cpu threads work on a single share because otherwise they complete no work at all.

"-g 2 -t 4" - gpu threads are for some reason hogged by cpu and both cpu and gpu don't complete any work.
checked with gpu-z - gpu load stays at 0

also, intensity on dynamic setting stays 0-1 no matter how long i leave the pc running with all other apps closed. are there any specific conditions for increasing the intensity dynamically?

win32 version report:

v1.2.4 - cannot init the gfx - compiles the kernel but spits "No best_g found! Error in OpenCL code?" error in debug mode. Running for several minutes generates only HW errors.

regarding all windows versions so far:
only GPU 0 and CPU 0 threads show in both ncurses header and in normal output.

when starting with "-g 2 -t 4" (using all cores) - completely hogs the gpu mining and only cpu is giving results. even with "-t 3" total performance is worse than GPU alone.
also, CPU threads use exactly one cpu core (which is logical and good, but I'm not sure its the intended behavior). with "-t 1" cpu usage is 25%, "-t 2" 50% etc...

hopefully that was clear enough for a bug report :p

hopefully i can do it soon )

honestly its a little annoying that u need to wait when you only registered to post that one question

but i guess it is for the best )
