ethminer-0.9.41-genoil-1.1

[scryptr]

Also briefly loaded the wolf0 4-way kernel that he ships with sgminer-gm into this. Performance on RX470 seems just a bit better.

PLEASE EXPLAIN THE "4-WAY KERNEL"--

You may share things with developers, but please make a simple explanation as to what "4-way" means.  I've tried the sgminer that was released, it runs better on one of my 280X rigs and is more stable.  Likely, I will convert it to a RX 470 rig, but I'd like to know more about the software that I am running.      --scryptr

When hashing, a GPU uses many threads in parallel, where basically each thread tries to solve the same puzzle with a slightly different input (the nonce, a number that increases per adjacent thread). Some parts of some algorithms can be made to run faster when groups of threads temporarily join forces to do a bit of the work. You can compare it with hauling heavy boxes. If 4 people have to haul 4 very heavy boxes from A to B, they may actually be faster when carrying each box with 4 people at the same time compared to when they would only carry their own box.

Ethash was originally designed to haul boxes with 8 people at the same time (8-way) while Wolf0 made a 4-way variant. Of course Wolf's 4 threads have to do the same amount of work as the original kernel, but it can be a little bit more efficient. Ultimately (I think) he did this to prepare for his private ETH kernel, because that kernel uses a different way of sharing the work (coordinating the joint box hauling operation) between 4 adjacent threads, and 8 isn't supported.

If I recall well, Etar from the Etarminer (CUDA ETH miner) has a 16-way solution and who knows what Claymore did

8 can be supported under Tonga and up, but not for all GCN.

ETARMINER--

Well, I checked it out, but I did not download the miner.  He wrote for Kepler vintage CUDA cards, and there is a built-in 1% fee.  The miner works on newer CUDA cards with varying success.  Etar, the programmer, seems very sensitive.  I think he has a GTX 660, or something....       --scryptr

what speed you have on the rx470?  4gigas version?

21.9MH tops on stock clocks/bios (1260/1750), but it tends to fluctuate a lot more and averages out at about 21.3, whereas my kernel does a fairly steady 20.9 when using a high farm-recheck.

There's something wrong with my dropping his kernel into my code though, because it doesn't seem to find any shares .

i like the 119nr )

only 21  so not much better than the 380, i sow somewhere people saying about 25mh

Check the end. SGMiner's counter is at the end, yours is at the beginning.

Thanks. That did the trick. Tested both kernels in my (1GB DAG) simulation mode. It's hard to tell which one is faster, I don't think it really makes a difference.

So is your branch with wolfs kernel with that change available?

[lauromartins]

i download the last version of ethminer 1.1     and run the same bat now my hash is 0.00

[manotroll]

hi guys, i have some insues.   Why my miner do not show me my hash? I only see "waiting for work package"   

Second, why nano pool does not show my hash ?   my bat is

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

using the last version of genoil 1.1.9

genoil 1.1.9 ?
link ?

[adamvp]

Try earlier version Maybe?

[kilo17]

1.1.9 seems to have a bug, I get the same as some others:

"Waiting for work package" over and over

1.1.7 has no problems for me

[nerdralph]

1.1.9 seems to have a bug, I get the same as some others:

1.1.7 has no problems for me

The 1.1.9 windows build works fine for me with MPH, port 20535.

My 1.1.9nr Linux build has been working stable for over a month.
https://github.com/nerdralph/ethminer-nr/tree/110/releases

[Genoil]

Yea I use MPH mostly for testing, too.

Don't have much time to look into it. If 1.1.7 does the job, I'd just use that

[ORiN]

I am using 1.1.7 for my HD7950, my card is mining about 22 hours per day.

I don't mine at MPH I use Ethpool.  I will take Genoils advice and stick with 1.1.7 as it works perfectly.  It appears there is an issue with 1.1.9 that several of us are experiencing.  It looks like a Stratum issue but I could be wrong,.

Hello Genoil
I downloaded the last 110 branch (linux) and try to compile and gives me a TON of errors, i don't even know where to begin to look for, can you give me a hint please?, previous 110 branch versions compiled fine.

it's like if you change cmake version or c++ version, dunno.

these are the errors:

I blindly merged some PR by some dude (not you Ralph ) who claimend they would fix Ubuntu 16 build issues. I guess that was a mistake.

But I don't know if I'll fix it. Working on something else now, not sure if I'll ever release it

Wanting to put my status up. Hoping I can get some advise on how to get a little better hashrate.

already have the 1.1.9

this 1060 does not make at least 21 MH / s?
and which consumption reported by the PCU z?
rx 470 still yields much more than the 1060 maybe over the memos solve
