Gateless Gate Sharp 1.3.8: 30Mh/s (Ethash) on RX 480!

[zawawa]

Gateless Gate Sharp is an user-friendly yet extremely powerful open-source multi-algorithm miner for Windows operating systems. It focuses on performance, stability, and ease of use, featuring a one-of-a-kind ability to modify memory timings on the fly and a powerful built-in optimizer. Unlike the original Gateless Gate, this miner aims at stability with a much simpler design and the managed .NET Framework.



* https://github.com/zawawawa/GatelessGateSharp

* https://github.com/zawawawa/GatelessGateSharp/releases/download/v1.3.8-alpha/GatelessGateSharpInstaller.exe (Windows x64 Installer)

Currently, the miner supports Ethash/Pascal dual-mining, Ethash/daggerhashimoto, CryptoNight, CryptoNight-Light, CryptoNight-Heavy, CryptoNightV7, X16R, X16S, Pascal, NeoScrypt, LyraREv2, and the following major pools: NiceHash, ethermine.org, ethpool.org, DwarfPool, Nanopool, Mining Pool Hub, zpool, and mineXMR.com. Support for custom pools has also been added.

All you have to do to mine is to download and run the installer, launch the miner, enter your wallet address(es), and click the Start button. The miner is yet to be fully optimized, however, and the first official release will be available when it is feature-complete.

Please note that, even though this miner does work with NVIDIA cards, the current focus of the project is on AMD.

Do you have plan to increase the RX 480 speed to over 200?

[zawawa]

Do you have plan to increase the RX 480 speed to over 200?

Oh, absolutely. I would do anything to surpass Sir. Claymore.

[ioglnx]

Good work zawawa.
Even the performance is not as EQM or other miner on nvidia its around 100/sols faster than the last SA build.
I assume its mainly optimized for AMD?

Hi,

I couldn't compile it in linux:

Code:

main.c:1392:6: note: expected ‘struct _cl_mem **’ but argument is of type ‘uint8_t *’
 void mining_mode(cl_device_id *dev_id, cl_context ctx, cl_command_queue queue,
      ^
main.c:1479:3: error: too many arguments to function ‘mining_mode’
   mining_mode(*dev_id, program, ctx, queue, k_init_ht, k_rounds, k_sols, buf_ht,
   ^
main.c:1392:6: note: declared here
 void mining_mode(cl_device_id *dev_id, cl_context ctx, cl_command_queue queue,
      ^
<builtin>: recipe for target 'main.o' failed

Do you have an idea, why compiler failed with "error: too many arguments to function ‘mining_mode’"?
Thank you.

that is great.

Any idea for the old cards like 7970 speed?

That should be trivial to fix. Hold on.

[snk0752]

That should be trivial to fix. Hold on.

Ok. Please, let us know once git will be updated. I'll re-clone it then.

Done. Please let me know if the fix works.

Good work zawawa.

I assume its mainly optimized for AMD?

I did a lot of algorithmic and AMD-specific optimizations, so that actually makes sense. I know for a fact that there are a ton of NVIDIA specific stuff that can be done with this miner, so I don't think it's that hard to catch up with other miners.

@zawawa - I tested on my 1070 and the following bat file line nets a total of 120 sol/1070 

gatelessgate.exe --threads 1 --use 1,2 -c stratum+tcp://us-east1.zcash.miningpoolhub.com:20570 -u xxx -p xxx

[zawawa]

I see, I see. Those are easy to fix, too. Let me get to it right now.

@zawawa - I tested on my 1070 and the following bat file line nets a total of 120 sol/1070

You could try "--instances 2".

Copy sa-solver to /usr/local/bin or define path in environment and it will work, it requires python3-psutil for gatelessgate.py to work.
It's working for me and I can report 148S/s on stock r9 390 Tri-X by Sapphire.

Where's krnlx to get his hands on nvidia port
If you do 120 with amd optimized code sure 1070 would get at least 40% speed bump if optimized correctly, which means ~200S/s for 1070 and even more.
