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

I hate giving bad news sigh

now i get

it keeps ming or says im mining

GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=0
GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=100
GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100

takes forever to show anything ,  V7 still  boots right up and works V10 does above. I really want to see this work at this point .

Can you run eXtremal's latest kernel with r7? If so, I can be 100% sure that the problem is in main.c.

This is my last attempt before taking a break:

I am pretty sure this would work. Thank you so much for your patience, guys!

version r11 still 0 sols/s, GPU 98% loading, power draw 110W.
evga 1070 8gb
Thanks!

I guess 4 threads per GPU were just too many.
If the new version is not working for you, let me know which video card you are using *with the memory size*, and I will change settings accordingly.

If this still doesn't work, please let me know, and I will implement a workaround.
I will keep working on this miner until the performance at least matches that of Claymore's.
Just for the heck of it, if you know what I mean

version r11
GTX 1070 8GB

Well, r11 is pretty much r7 with eXtremal's patches + my tweaks for AMD, so it doesn't make much sense that it's not working with GTX 1070... The strange thing is that everything is working on my end. Weird, weird...

[laik2]

i still get that sa-solver.exe pop error any version  before V10 didn't do , all my cards are AMD cards .


Take a break some times that's the real fix . it's right there in plan sight but sense you need to step a way your not seeing it .

Need to get at least 150S/s on RX 480 to be profitable again. With 100S/s isn't worthy...

something wrong here, it show 0 sol for every gpu, there is somethign else aside from --use /pool and user to add to the bat file?

Why you have reverted the extermal patch? https://github.com/zawawawa/silentarmy/commit/5936f86ab07006bb49adc08c12db10aa4ed1b2b6
Any reason?

[zawawa]

For some reason, eXtremal's most recent patches seem incompatible with my Windows port.
The really annoying thing is that everything is working on my end, but that's not the case with others.
I reverted all the recent changes just to make absolutely sure that we have a working version.

[ioglnx]

I have tested it and working also not for me also after recompiling.
Maybe some difference in your intallation of python and libs?


Can you provide the compiled one?

r11 is indeed working correct(this is Intel HD 4400)
r9 gives 0S/s probably some threads issue which iHD may not support at all.
I don't have windows with AMD/nVidia to test. If you provide linux compiled sa-solver with threads support I may be able to test.

[zawawa]

Could you guys try these Windows binaries:

https://github.com/zawawawa/silentarmy/releases/download/v5-win64standalone-r11/silentarmy-testing-new-port.zip

I would really appreciate if you could let me know if they would work in your environment. Thanks!

[ioglnx]

New Port is working now.

What have you changed?

[Amph]

newport work for me too, no more 0 sol

This info really helps! Unfortunately, I don't have a Linux box around for testing.
I will make sure to port my mods to Linux once optimizations are done, though.

New Port is working now.

What have you changed?

Well, I just reverted eXtremal's patches.
I will make his most recent kernel optional in the next release, then.

no change in speed, speed is worse I was gettig  with SA on that cards 50 + sol while CM does with fee off

ZEC - Total Speed: 83.694 H/s, Total Shares: 2, Rejected: 0, Time: 00:00
ZEC: GPU0 83.694 H/s

but it works that's a Step forward .

Card model? Windows drivers version?
Anything?
@zawawa - I can provide you with linux box if that's the problem. I have testbox with ubuntu 16.04lts and AMD Kaveri just for testing purpuse(still waiting on HD7970 from a friend to perform more tests)
new-port version works fine.
P.S. krnlx nvidia version gives better results, perhaps you can use his modifications for windows version.

[giagge]

Any improvement on Nvidia Pascal ? .

[zawawa]

Oh, OK. That explains why. I'm glad SA worked on your system
