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

[yslyung]

1 out 7 480s (4 GB) is hashing lower than others. Is there something that could be done to fix it? Not that I am complaining, it is hashing way higher than Claymore V4, just curious what is causing 1 GPU (dev6) to hash lower.

Assuming you run with --instances 2 (default), one of the 2 sa-solver processes may have crashed for this GPU. Does it go back up to 80+ sol/s after restarting silentarmy?

Most of the time the GPU at this particular location start low across several rigs, the second GPU from the very last one. I am using the following bat

c:\cygwin64\bin\python3.4m silentarmy --instances=1 -c stratum+tcp://zec.suprnova.cc:2142  -u hawkfish007.2H -p x --use 0,1,2,3,4,5,6
pause

Should I change it to --instances=2 or 0?

Thanks.

i asked the same question earlier but no answers yet, i rolled back to earlier version & the particular slower gpu goes back to normal but overall mining speed is a tad slower compared to the newer version but total speed is abt the same although the particular gpu is slower because of increased hashrate from newer version.

some other rigs works well no issue but on some others with the same setup & gpu make & model has this particular half speed.


if you open up gpuz & montitor that gpu, it's not really working to full speed, looks like only 1 instance instead of 2. (default 1 is actually 2)

Made a cuda port of actual Silentarmy 5

speeds sucks. 92 s/s on overclocked 1070(opencl version give near 100)

Tested only on linux.

But it's not the fault of your port - it's the same with the plain nheqminer 0.4b and the cuda_tromp solver. maybe again bad luck with the old computing (30) version.

Regards

Try adding some flags in CMakeLists.txt for older compute capabilities 3.5 or 5.0. For 750Ti i solved it adding 5.0 flags:

set(CUDA_NVCC_FLAGS ${CUDA_NVCC_FLAGS};; -gencode arch=compute_50,code=sm_50;-gencode arch=compute_52,code=sm_52;  -gencode arch=compute_61,code=sm_61 )

afaik the compute version is detected and used - definitions to use 3.0 are in the CMakeList ..

It still dumps - must be something different ..

regards

In krnlx repository the cmakelists.txt file has been modified. For 750ti cards i had to modify it.

they will i think there all ready working it from one of the post but it might be a while  i sure hope Zec mining stays for long while with all the hard work every one is putting in to it .

With the Linux binary releases I make I also included a "mine" script that will mine to my mph account.  I just checked the balance, and it's .0035 ZEC, or ~42c.  Who says open-source software work doesn't pay. :-)

Hi, mrb

Could you implement some very usefull, ccminer-like option: -S --syslog

  -S, --syslog          use system log for output messages

that would be nice for KopiemTu support, i.e. for monitoring

It's low priority, but I will consider it. In the mean time I am happy to accept patches from contributors.

Ok, that is my patch, then

Code:

root@kopiemtu:~# diff /opt/miners/silentarmy/silentarmy silentarmy.orig
13d12
< import syslog
266,271c265
<
<             if self.opts.syslog:
<                 syslog.syslog("Total %s sol/s [%s] %d share%s" % \
<                     (rate_avg, info_gpus, shares, '' if shares == 1 else 's'))
<             else:
<                 print("Total %s sol/s [%s] %d share%s" % \
---
>             print("Total %s sol/s [%s] %d share%s" % \
273c267
<                 sys.stdout.flush()
---
>             sys.stdout.flush()
401,402d394
<             if self.opts.syslog:
<                print('\nNow logging to syslog...')

<             "--syslog",
<             dest="syslog", action="store_true",
<             help="use system log for output messages")
root@kopiemtu:~#

http://www.mbl.cash/silentarmy

Please apply it, thanks!

I have KopiemTu monitoring done for your miner (a bit of testing now)
In case you would expand the shares printout, please keep the format: 99/100 (99.00%)

Thanks in advance.

I've installed some old powered PCIe risers which are non usb/nor original asrocks but cards are recognized.
Additional power to the motherboard H81 Pro BTC is not installed...may that be the problem?
It's not so often but a few times every 10mins... and mostly doesn't seem to stop mining unless it completely freezes.

ASROCK STATES THAT THE TWO MOLEX POWER CONNECTIONS MUST BE USED--

The auxilliary mollex power connecters are not an option, according to the manual.  I know board chat goes either way, but non-powered ribbon risers are dangerous and flammable.       --scryptr

The on board power connectors shouldn't be an issue because powered risers don't draw any power from the mobo.
It doesn't mean it's not a power issue. If your PSU is multi rail make sure the distribution is balanced.

Is it same GPU every time? Intermittant nature suggests a bad connection, ie bad riser.

[nrg_wolf]

only 30sols on a 1060, does not seem right. what are others getting?

[Stealth8368]

If open source mining software is going to work and keep up with other fee paying mining software we must show support,I suggest with next release everyone mines to the developers zcash address for first hour at lest and show support for the great work.
