SILENTARMY v5: Zcash miner, 115 sol/s on R9 Nano, 70 sol/s on GTX 1070

[sp_]

Why you think MAX_SOLS should be 20..it gives me just  alot of incorrect shares  :-(

Together with a code change. I use max_sols 20 in sp-mod #1

MH where else to change..maybe I can try what it gives on SA build.
Atm I have 630ol/s with 5 cards (GTX1080x3 and GTX1070x2)

Total 626.2 sol/s [dev0 123.5, dev1 132.3, dev2 126.1, dev3 128.4, dev4 118.1] 198 shares
Total 626.2 sol/s [dev0 123.2, dev1 132.8, dev2 124.9, dev3 128.7, dev4 118.0] 198 shares
Total 626.3 sol/s [dev0 122.3, dev1 132.4, dev2 125.6, dev3 127.7, dev4 117.3] 198 shares
Total 626.3 sol/s [dev0 121.8, dev1 132.6, dev2 125.5, dev3 128.7, dev4 117.4] 198 shares
Total 626.5 sol/s [dev0 121.6, dev1 132.0, dev2 125.4, dev3 129.3, dev4 118.3] 198 shares

Just tried optiminer for the first time sense it's in windows form now, it didn't come close to claymore or was about 30 solo slower then Claymore. and there paying 15 % for that lol . SA all most matches optiminer version and it's free . SO I'll wait for the rewrite of SA under windows, i got a feeling it's going to out do Claymore or stand with it .  i read some place Claymore's next version will be even faster.



Mybad it's the Pool I'm using if  I use Fly pool with optiminer version it is all most as fast as claymore, sense i like using antminers zcash pool because it is a PPS payout . I'll stick with things the way they are sense claymore and SA both let me use stratum+tcp:// with no deceases in speed or let me use stratum+tcp://  in the address that seems to actually matter pool wise and claymore or SA don't need to use the CPU it seems optiminer is using .



IF you think about it SA is better it's supports both NV and AMD.

CM and optiminer only support AMD .

CM 8.0 just came out and it still only supports AMD .

I think I figured out a way to make SA much faster without changing the existing data structures too much.
It would consume video card memory like crazy, though. Oh well, something gotta give.
We can worry about new data structures with more efficient memory access patterns later.

[ioglnx]

Nice any ETA?

[toptek]

now with CM 8.0 i get on my RX 370,

ZEC - Total Speed: 117.602 H/s, Total Shares: 7, Rejected: 1, Time: 00:00
ZEC: GPU0 117.602 H/s

I was getting 88 sol I haven't tested my 470's or 480 or R9280 ,  but I'm Still on SA side and hoping .

I don't care how much memory SA uses shouldn't that put those memory bios molded cards to better use ? .
SA is still better for other reason.

Well...CM currently is consuming a lot of GPU memory . I guess for now we could take it.
@zawawa : I would suggest you to consult nerdralph, he might be able to overlook the code and help the process.

I think I got all I needed from nerdralph, which is already plenty.
I just need to squeeze out the code at this point.
I would say the ETA is contingent upon my wife's last minute plans for Thanksgiving and Black Friday

forget about these day..time for coding^^
We need to beat CM and NicHash.

Why Zec mining is really just starting out if hes having fun doing it , it's never a lose .!!!

I guess it maters what you consider a lose .

[nerdralph]

This is indeed a major rewrite. Now I'm convinced I can do this, but it's very time-consuming. We will see.

I think I can modify ht_store to get performance on par with Optiminer.  This would be straight OpenCL.  If I have enough time I should have something ready to test tomorrow.

The battle for speed. I think there is not much space left for speed increase. But who knows ?

There is no time
CM is almost unreachable for OSS community. He is taking his 2.5% devfee and of course he will have the time to develop and improve. No dev here has any benefit to continue develop this project. Basicly current status is in sleep state and probably will remain that way for a while.

Just because you say so? You assume something that hasn't been true the times before you claimed this statement. The guys still working on it and not sleeping or stopping development just because you proclaim it.
Let the devs have the Thanksgiving and so.. there is no need to hurry. If you need a miner that is faster than the OSS one take CM or so..but stop proclaiming the end of OSS dev

I am not proclaiming anything. I am just saying that sleep mode is on. May be someone is working or may be not, time is a critical factor. Probably in a few months all implementations will be equal in speed but not soon enough to hit the ZEC when its profitable.

If everything goes well, you guys (with AMD cards first) should be able to reap the fruits of turkey-inspired ideas soon

what do you mean?

[toptek]

I'm guessing he means AMD user get the love first then NV ? .

Thanks  zawawa

 zawawa you happen to have a Antpool  zcash account i can mine to it seems to build the balance faster PPS mining if not I'll use the flypool address. i used to mine BTC on antpool https://www.antpool.com/ and eligius which was my favorite pool to btc mine on I made the most BTC there till the S7 destroyed it all for me and slushes pool https://slushpool.com/accounts/login/?next=/dashboard/.
