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

[OhMyHolyToken]

Any support of SSL pool? if yes - how? "ssl://pool_address" - doesn't work.

I havent mined in quite a while, but how is this miner doing compared to claymore? I will be running 2 rx580s for now and since its open source I assume it has no fee? what is everyone averaging on eth with rx 580? thanks in advance

No. At this moment GGS dosn't support ssl. But I don't know pools that have only ssl port...

GGS gives speed that is not lee that Claymore, and in some cases faster. It depends on card and bios mod. Mod that gives good speed on Claymore, in GGS can give less or more speed. It's needs to try. GGS work another way than Claymore, and GGS consumpes less power in cryptonight.
Although GGS is open-source it have dev-fee. Author needs an incentive to develop GGS farther.

Support for SSL pools does not seem all that difficult:

It might be a good idea to make connections to default pools more secure...

GGS monitor didn't work for me... again... GGS just closes if any error and nothing. No program error, no GGS relaunch, no events...

i have the same problem that is close from time to time

run it in a loop with batchfile

:start
GatelessGateSharp.exe
goto start

(1) LLVM's AMDGPU backend is compatible with Mesa 3D.
(2) Mesa 3D is compatible with Windows.

Does this mean that I could use AMDGPU without modifications!?

At least on the Linux side, as of amdgpu-pro 17, the default OpenCL compiler has been llvm (HSA/ROCm).  As you know, it's optimizer for GCN is shit compared to the old gcc version, hence my reason for using -legacy.  I haven't tried 17.50 yet, but 17.40 didn't recognize inline asm.  There's lots of commits going on, so you'll probably just have to go with 7.0.0/trunk unless the amdgpu updates get back ported to 6.0.  The docs are quite thorough now, if you haven't looked at them in the last few months:
https://llvm.org/docs/AMDGPUUsage.html

I think you'll have to write most of the code in straight asm, as it will be a long time before the optimizer gets good.  Some instruction intrinsics like alignbit have only been added in the last few months, and as far as I can tell, there are no optimization hints to indicate different instruction timing.

I know for a fact that AMDGPU supports the inline GCN assembly for quite some time now. It is just so much easier for me to rewrite kernels in the inline GCN assembly. I might develop a Visual Studio extension for the GCN assembly and work with it. We will see...

This is very strange... I might need a different approach with GGS Monitor.

Gateless Gate Sharp 1.1.17 alpha
https://github.com/zawawawa/GatelessGateSharp/releases/tag/v1.1.17-alpha

* Improved the watchdog process.

It should work so much better now.
If everything goes well, I will make this the next stable version.

do i need to do something to use this watchdog?

When oc will be enable?

How come once I set everything does not save me? I tried but always resets and I have to set it every time

Try to start with administrator privelegies.

[maverik77]

I've already set up privileges .... run as administrator ...

You could delete GatelessGateSharp.sqlite.

I agree with you that llvm-AMDGPU supports inline asm, and that it is easier to write kernels using inline asm vs 100% asm.  API setup (Cl1.2/2.0 vs ROCm vs gallium...) and kernel parameter passing is a PITA with pure asm, so I think the best option is to write the majority of the kernel in inline asm, using OpenCL primarily for the API.  But since the AMD drivers don't include a version of llvm that supports inline asm, you'll need to distribute the kernels in binary form after building them with a recent version of llvm.

It's strange, but on 1.1.17 amount of finded shares became less than it was in 1.1.16... Pool where I mine all day shows accepted speed about 10-20% less than it must to be...

Any plans for Equihash (AMD)?
