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

[jeanjean15]

new vesrion with 45 sols per gtx 1070 can be runned on windows(10 x64) ? 

+1

Is it so hard to add windows support ? 

[liksagen]

I see some peoples get about 165 sols/s  +-  using genoil miner with driver 16.10.3 
but the card should be [8GB] ( he test with RX 470 ).
kernel : zec-sa.cl
comand :

Code:

genoil.exe -k zec zec zec zec -c zec.suprnova.cc:2142 -u user.x1222 -p xnxx -i 20 -w 64 -P 0 -f 2 -z 0

give it try!
 

how about screenshot?

Kernel: http://coinsforall.io/distr/input.cl.coll1 NVidia also have speedup.
I reduced number of collisions to found from 5 to 1, it seems 5 is too much, need mrb's comments.

Tested on 750ti - for me I see a few % reduction in performance.

[laik2]

What S/s do you get from 750ti?
I have 760Ti collecting dust somewhere...If it can mine with good speed I'll have to revive it
Also we need solution for higher S/s on newer boards ...50S/s for RX480 vs 60S/s for 7970 seems a bit harsh...

ok, I'm going to say this - and I'm probably wasting my time - but please, all, if you're not a programmer, and you don't understand what is being talked about, please just be patient and wait for the developers to release stuff.  These posts asking for these things are just not going to be answered.  All they do is clutter the discussion.

There is not a public miner available that deliver 165 sol/s on a single rx470.  And if you think there is, go bother people in that thread.  It's obvious that what is meant is "a rig of 6 or 7 RX470 cards".  Seriously, use your brain here; have you seen an explosion in hash rate at a point in time and a corresponding drop in price?  No?  Then probably there is no 6x improvement via a public miner.

PCI-E SPEED IS AN ISSUE.

This 1070 card

Code:

LnkCap:	Port #0, Speed 8GT/s, Width x16, ASPM L0s L1, Exit Latency L0s <1us, L1 <4us

is faster then this

Code:

LnkCap:	Port #0, Speed 2.5GT/s, Width x16, ASPM L0s L1, Exit Latency L0s <512ns, L1 <4us

by 15-20%

First card with one silentarmy thread loads by 89%, second one - 76%

You can check pci-e speed with this command

Code:

sudo lspci -vv

I noticed this too. You get better speeds if you connect your card to x16 slot without riser.

I have another idea for optimize equihash round kernel, results will be in next 12-24h

You must have o/c'd. I don't believe 16.30 is 37% faster than 16.40.

Only memory, 1100/2160 and low DRAM timings preset (modded ROM).

Excellent! We believe in you!

WHOA!

Thanks man

EDIT: I see there is no binary there yet. You got me all excited.

Is Silentarmy able to work as standalone CPU miner? Or is there any other walkthrough for doing so?

Ubuntu 16.04 server, I get:

Code:

user@ubuntu:~/silentarmy$ make
echo 'const char *ocl_code = R"_mrb_(' >_kernel.h
cpp input.cl >>_kernel.h
/bin/sh: 1: cpp: not found
Makefile:25: recipe for target '_kernel.h' failed
make: *** [_kernel.h] Error 127

I've already pointed out that you can improve performance by reducing MAX_SOLS.  I use 500 instead of 2000 on my fork.

Also, you want to look at link status (LnkSta), not link capabilities.  A port may be capable of x16, but may only run at x2 or x4 when you have more than one x16 card plugged in.

Got through this and still looking for OpenCL during build.

Code:

edit: Installing Intel OpenCL did do the trick, I've manage to build sa-solver. But now I do see the only one processor and there are 2 on this server. 
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lOpenCL
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:20: recipe for target 'sa-solver' failed
make: *** [sa-solver] Error 1

I think you should keep improving speed rather than support windows for now,  because they have claymore miner already with decent speeds

while as myself on linux we stuck with the half of their speed on windows with claymore miner i just got around 45~49 per card for modded rx 470....

I hope to consider this in the roadmap....
