AMD playing catch up with x11. Almost 40% performance increase

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=616786.0

they are still behind if the 2.8MH/s for a 750ti would be true

2.8Mh/s Out yet for the 750ti?

@zelante

Can you check and test the described problem of the 0.3 nicehash script?
I updated it now.
Ccminer is loosing performance here if cudaminer is initializing workers.
Performance is not recovering after.

I think the sourcecode of cudaminer has to be changed a bit.

cudaminer source -> cpu-miner.c -> comment 1916 and 1917 string (for loop) -> compile & test

@cbuchner1

Can i ask you a mini efford?

Please change the sourcecode of both, cudaminer and ccminer like this at the start of the program:

start stratum
wait for stratum
if stratum authentication failed
exit ccminer/cudaminer
else start miner threads

After we are able to combine cudaminer and ccminer to mine at the best price at nicehash.  I already posted a Nicehash Script v0.3 doing this.
Now they are disturbing each other. While ccminer is mining, cudaminer tries to initialize the mininc process and we loose performance.

Thanks.

look at the code cpu-miner.c of cudaminer and ccminer

Code:

			if (!stratum_connect(&stratum, stratum.url) ||
			    !stratum_subscribe(&stratum) ||
			    !stratum_authorize(&stratum, rpc_user, rpc_pass)) {
				stratum_disconnect(&stratum);
				if (opt_retries >= 0 && ++failures > opt_retries) {
					applog(LOG_ERR, "...terminating workio thread");
					tq_push(thr_info[work_thr_id].q, NULL);
					goto out;
				}
				applog(LOG_ERR, "...retry after %d seconds", opt_fail_pause);
				sleep(opt_fail_pause);
			}

I'm running on GT540m it's 100Mhs on X11 but getting nothing 

What's wrong guyz?

Your running too old of a card

can't I mine x11 with my gpu

Use ccminer 20 or 30 (dont remember what is the directcompute of the 540) the ccminer50 is for the latest cards
but with a 540m I think u'll have less than 1mhs

The 540M is 2.1, so you would need the version Bombadil made ( https://mega.co.nz/#!gBlGVZbT!0Pxo_T1P89UWmC866NVFIwEd3MJaAfRsdO8L5p4uvz0 ). But the 540M is a laptop card, and in general I advise against using laptops for mining

Thanks a lot

I'm getting 0.25 Mhs now Well I mean it's accepting shares

Yes, but better if cbuchner is doing it so that all future versions will include it.

tested with version of cudaminer 2014-02-28 (beta) and deleted for loop in the end of cpu-miner.c
when working ccminer failover poll and cudaminer connect to scryptn we will see loose performance (gpu work in ccminer and cudaminer). but when ccminer killed successful performance recover after 1-2 minutes.

tested last version of cudaminer and in this verison they removed checking for stratum code... 

[christian1980]

Can you PM your full cpu-miner.c and the binary?
Thanks.

[aasl]

now cuda support x11 mining?

[gpuminer]

now cuda support x11 mining?

Cudaminer ? No.

[christian1980]

Thanks. Ill test it now.
The next thing we have to solve is to restart Afterburner with different overclock settings for Scrypt and X11.
I underclock my Memory -502 if im mining X11.

We have to check also what happens to the performance if cudaminer is starting to work and the ccminer instance will be killed.
If there is still a problem, a possible solution should be to put a timeout into cudaminer after stratum is starting to work so that the script can kill the backup pool first.

By the way: Which Prices do you use for Scrypt & ScryptN? For X11 ill stay at 1.6 BTC.

[ozzy1926]

can i solo darkcoin with ccminer?

[Amph]

can i solo darkcoin with ccminer?

yeah but unless you have a strong hashpower, you won't find a block so easily

I'm not using scypt and scryptn. Only x11. For overclocking i recomend you using nvidiaInspector. You can save overclocking preset and run it from console.
