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

[hagie]

Any hint why the solver ist 2 times SLOWER in V5 compared to V4 ?

Regards

Try running with ./silentarmy --instances=1 option, it is faster on my nvidia cards with one instance

And replace main.c with this, then rebuild

Sorry no same with the changed main.c :

The difference is in the solver ..

pipe closed by peer or os.write(pipe, data) raised exception.

Problem resolved by cleaning AMD drivers with DDU and reinstall Crimson Edition 16.10.3 Hotfix

hope this helps

[hagie]

so this is becoming a little mess, what i need exactly to run the windows version?

cygwin64 with installed python3.5 interpreter + compiled silentarmy (mega downlaod) nothing more

SA v5 Cygwin r4 port strange issue, 1070x6 rig goes 500Sol/s, but when i disconnect TeamViewer from rig, speed go down to 200 and further. Even monitor plugged. Its like port need to some load to main? card to set driver right P-state or 2D/3D mode. Win 10 1607 Drivers 375.70

If your motherboard supports IOMMU you can setup virtualbox and install ubuntu 16.04 on it then assign cards to ubuntu VM and test under linux.
I have similar setup but my AMD IOMMU seems to be broken and can't fix it for now.

I have GA-990FXA w/ same issues, even not possible to run installing ubuntu. IOMMU, SATA, AHCI parameters doesnt work

Remove all cards. After install do under root nano -w /etc/default/grub
Original is like this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
Change like this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nogpumanager"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="iommu=soft"

update-grub && update-initramfs -u

https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe
add python3.5 from the interpreter category
https://mega.nz/#F!iwYQhI6S!2vl0D3jz3fH3-bZxHUurBg
use latest version

Once you set it up it's unbreakable
2 days setup pains for this iommu and amdgpu-pro drivers.
Finally compiled latest kernel with amdgpu open-source drivers included, downloaded polaris blobs and voilla...it's working like a charm for 72 hours.

You can follow full tutorial from README.txt and use my kernel (both intel and amd compatible, CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU is not set so NVIDIA is supported too, the only thing that is not is Pre  AMD 290X cards which depend on radeon.ko)

You know this won't work cause there is no windows binary (exe) in that zip, so no sa-solver.exe

Python written silentarmy calls sa-solver so there is no chance unless you have sa-solver.exe in that folder too.

Yes I have the same board GA-990FXA-UD3  and I also had issues with Ubuntu first it was that IOMUU thing and then the mouse didn't work, then the AMDGPU-PRO driver installed but I got a black screen on reboot.

[dexxa05]

I have some issues with the version after few minutes my gpu4 and gpu1 goes down to 0 sol/s

I dont know why...

Thx
