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

[sp_]

thank you SP_  It is running much better..also if I am running -cd 00 11 22  do I leave the -t 0  or change it ?

You need spaces between the numbers. Use -t 0 for slow cpu's

[tc61]

would a i7-4770 be consider slow?

use -t 8

[hackmyl1fe]

what do you get with the memory underclocked. (-500?)

Hi SP_ , i cannot test that because i didn't do the screen mod to allow OC on linux (I should do that, it is not hard, i'm just being lazy  )
can you tested it newmz?
it should be better than 88 Sol/s in my case but it seems that my processor is not fast enough (low gpu utilization, 88%)

I have made a version of the cuda port of the SA kernel.

Zcash sp-mod #1

https://github.com/sp-hash/ccminer/releases/tag/zcash-spmod1

Low power more hash.

Hey SP_,
how do you build and run this on linux? The read me isnt clear to me

[tc61]

thanks much..

1070-113
750ti - 33 ea
i7-4770  21

thank you for the help

give me your zclassic address and ill mine to you for some time ...

Just a windows binary and it's a nheqminer fork.

It's beautiful.. Thanks! 750ti

Just a beta windows build for now. I think I can push it to 140++ sol/s on the 1070 with some more work. We don't want Claymore to have all the network hash do we?

[tc61]

You got it SP  ..mining to you now...thanks again

This is fine, just tested. Authorised worker.

Do you also know if you want to check if a algo is memory limited, you can go into GPUZ and check out the MCU (memory controller unit) and see the load on it?

I think this is wrong.  Although I primarily mine using Linux, I have a Windoze box that I use for testing cards.  GPU-z appears to show only external bus bandwidth use (to the GDDR), and not the utilization of the bandwidth between the controller and core.  In practical terms, a miner kernel may be using 200GB/s of memory bandwidth, but a significant percentage of it can be from the L2 cache.  The collision counter tables in SA5 would be an example of this.

Any news about sa6?

I just uploaded new Windows binaries:

https://github.com/zawawawa/silentarmy

I am still experimenting with WIN32 threading. In the meantime, I replaced the random number generator to address the duplicate shares issue. I also tweaked process priorities. Let me know how that goes.

I would always appreciate your feedback, and it would be most helpful for everybody if you could mention your OS, video card(s), and hopefully driver version. Otherwise, I have to rely on my crystal ball, which is of rather questionable quality. Thanks!

sp-mod silent army cuda #1 vs  zawawawa-r6 (4 gtx 970 rig) (sp-mod #1 +13.3%)

4x970 went from ~300 (zawawawa-r6) to ~340, oc + p0, tdp 85-95%, W7 + i5. Cpu usage max 3%.

sp-mod silent army cuda #1 vs zawawawa-r6 (6 gtx 1070 rig) 630@800watt(sp-mod #1 +8% more hash with 15% less power )

your version is good, getting less wattage but higher hash
only 681 wattage and hashrate 680(peak 690), ratio 1:1, better than any other build
also very stable and no throttling

@zawawa

Works here but still some CPU usage with 2x instances (2x 1070 30% from i5)
Win10 x64 375.57
1070 gives ~112sol/s

Glad your CUDA port is working well! OpenCL implementations for NVIDIA cards are interim solutions anyway.
If your port runs faster across the board, I can finally focus on my Polaris farm...
