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

[doktor83]

now claymore will take optimizations from this open source and make his miner even faster lol

i get the same results with v5 as with claymore 4, with almost no CPU usage vs claymore 50% cpu.
Very good job guys.

Stop accusing for something you have no evidence man. If he uses he will mention it..he is just human and made a mistake are you perfect man?

dont work for me (((

first install cygwin - python, then run miner with python

I have Instal python 3.4 and now I instal cygwin and don't work (((

Why the hell is this starting again. SA is open source, Claymore can use it if he wants as long as he gives credit. Read the licence .

Cygwin can be downloaded at: https://cygwin.com/index.html
Make sure to select the "Python3: Py3K language interpreter"
package under "Python".

I dont find this to download for windows x64 , anyone send direct link pls ? .

it's not starting again, calm down.

Confirmed. Added some stats to my post.
Included are:

Code:

RX470 Nitro+ 4GB, Hynix RAM, modded bios (1500 straps), default GPU clock, 1925 memory clock - 83.5 sol/s
RX470 Nitro+ 4GB, Elpida RAM, modded bios (1500 straps), default GPU clock, 2000 memory clock - 87 sol/s
380X, stock bios, stock clocks - 45 sol/s
7950, stock bios, 1050 GPU, 1550 memory - 70 sol/s (slower than below due to very old AMD CPU)
7950, stock bios, 1050 GPU, 1550 memory - 73 sol/s (faster than above due to better CPU G3240)
7970, stock bios, 1150 GPU, 1500 memory - 70 sol/s
7970, modded bios, 1150 GPU, 1500 memory - 85 sol/s
390X/390, stock bios, 1125/1150 GPU, 1500 memory - 100 sol/s

how to change our GPU Memory Clock in Linux?
i want to lower my mod GPU Memory Clock.
Thanks

if you have amd card  not compatible with the overclocking softwares, do the following:

echo "manual" > /sys/class/drm/card*/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level
echo x > /sys/class/drm/card*/device/pp_dpm_sclk

x between 1 and 7,7 is highest clock  ;
'*' can stay as is for ALL GPUs, or you can put a selected GPU. first GPU is card0

[TIKCrazy]

Does anybody know, how to fix high cpu load on this release https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1666489.msg16850940#msg16850940 ?
Thanks!

first install cygwin - python, then run miner with python

I have Instal python 3.4 and now I instal cygwin and don't work (((

I don't run Windows version, but it seems you have to install cygwin version of python. Native Windows one does not work.
Я нe иcпoльзyю Windows, нo пoxoжe, чтo нyжнo иcпoльзoвaть python oт cygwin. Haтивнaя вepcия нe paбoтaeт.

what version pf cygwin need to be installed, can you provide some link?

for me (im russian too, just for info) working this:
1) Download and install python packages
2) After installing start setup-x86_64 and choose Python3 in Interpretators

Actually, it depends...

pp_dpm_sclk shows current peroformance level and when mining it usually always 7.
It is possible to write 0-20 to pp_sclk_od and/or pp_mclk_od (power play boost in percents).
Written to pp_mclk_od value then gives increased mem clock in pp_dpm_mclk. But for one miner it really increased rate, for other I saw no changes and finally had to mod bios.

[osnwt]

Quoting myself:

Can I ask someone to add a simple feature to the python code?

It's time now to think about usability, not only boost. Anybody with python skills wants to help with that (see original post).
If not, I will do it myself. But I would be ashamed to show my code in python to share since I have almost zero experience with it.

[doktor83]

no, first boost more 

[hagie]

Huge thanks to eXtremal for these optimizations. I merged them and released SILENTARMY v5: https://github.com/mbevand/silentarmy/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md I measured a 2x speedup on some cards like the R9 Nano:

• 102 sol/s on R9 Nano (up from 54 sol/s)
• 72 sol/s on RX 480
• 64 sol/s on GTX 1070

The atomic row counters and branch divergence in equihash_solve have always been the main bottleneck. I was working on packing 8 counters per uint, and reducing branch divergence, but eXtremal was done before me That's the benefit of open source; anyone can improve the code for all.

Sorry in my case the new version does only 50% sols. Maybe a SM3.0 problem ?

Any Idea ?

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