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

[scryptr]

So is it safe to say the Silent Army miner is better than the last Linux build of Claymore Miner?

I SAVED A COPY OF CLAYMORE'S LINUX MINER (EDIT)--

But, to download it, WGET is not enough.  His binaries are posted on Google and Mega.  I would have to setup an FTP server on my LAN to distribute Claymore to my Linux boxes.

Not having actual data to compare, I think your conclusion is good.  The mrb builds are facing stiff competition.  As of the last linux Claymore binary, mrb builds were about as good, but Claymore has improved.     --scryptr

Sorry, I don't quite understand your response...

Upload source to git and simply clone it to all rigs. If not all have build-essential package installed simply compile 2 different versions for AMD and nVidia and use scp to distribute different builds.

[lethax]

that's what i did. my head system is windows so i used cygwin to scp it to all my rigs. nvidia silentarmy works well!

good work!

[listoz]

when the miner will be generated for windows ??

There are already windows miners. The Genoil and the Claymore miners are both very good at present.

thay both are for AMD

Genoil's uses SA kernel so there is nothing stopping you from testing it on nvidia...

Next optimization will be huge, I already got 60 sols/s on GTX1070:

Total 60.2 sol/s [dev0 59.5] 1 share
Total 60.8 sol/s [dev0 60.6] 1 share
Total 60.9 sol/s [dev0 61.5] 1 share
Total 60.5 sol/s [dev0 59.5] 1 share

[eXtremal]

And Radeon RX480:

Total 74.2 sol/s [dev0 78.5] 4 shares
Total 74.6 sol/s [dev0 78.6] 4 shares
Total 74.8 sol/s [dev0 78.0] 4 shares
Total 74.6 sol/s [dev0 78.6] 4 shares
Total 74.2 sol/s [dev0 77.0] 4 shares
Total 74.1 sol/s [dev0 75.8] 4 shares

It's only first step, soon will be second.
I'll send sources to mrb and genoil in a 30 minutes.

Edit: use OPTIM_SIMPLIFY_ROUND gives extra 5% and 80 sols/s on modded RX480 is possible

Total 309.0 sol/s [dev0 81.2, dev1 78.3, dev2 68.5, dev3 80.8] 19 shares
Total 307.8 sol/s [dev0 78.1, dev1 77.7, dev2 69.7, dev3 80.1] 19 shares
Total 307.8 sol/s [dev0 78.3, dev1 79.1, dev2 70.6, dev3 81.4] 19 shares
Total 309.2 sol/s [dev0 80.1, dev1 80.5, dev2 70.6, dev3 81.4] 20 shares

Could you please share the changes ?
How to modify bios fox rx480 (to clock it) is there any linux tool ?

But windows needed for atiflash and polaris bios editor.

is it possible to merge pci-e bandwidth fix ? that one,https://github.com/mbevand/silentarmy/commit/146b8dc0b6618852e2f322fab51f3ed3739da07a

mrb can do it
I'll try release next optimization in 12-24 hours with +10-15% performance increase.

Tried it out on my testrig with 4x 380 (vanilla bios) 2x 280x (vanilla bios). From ~195sol/s to 288sol/s. This is pretty unbelievable. I'm going to try it out on other rigs too. My environment otherwise is ubuntu 14.04 with fglrx (and 1x pcie risers for those that fear bandwidth is a problem)

Edit: two other rigs with 7970,280,280x and 380x show similar bump. Awesome work !

[adamvp]

any hints to get more sols from older cards:
I have 380x and 370 and have only 30sols for now
