Guys,
What settings do you use for GG for ethereum with RX470s?
With Claymore, I get 28MH/s on 470s 4GB and 8GB, but with gatelessgate, the 4GB are stuck at 24.7MH/s (haven't tried it on the 8GB). I'm getting that hashrate with the default xintensity of 4620, worksize of 192 and 2 GPU threads contained in the batfile.
Thanks!
me i don't use gateless to mine ETH or ZEC but use it for all my other coins like XMR PASC etc that I mine ... This miner better for Cryptonight (XMR) on my R-380´s (560-635H/s, but ~2% rejected). Claymore 550-650H/s (less rejected, but 2.5% fee).

Today I tested RX 480 4GB Nitro+ ELPIDA sgminer vs claymore 9.6 Same clock gpu default clock 1306, elpida memory overclocked to 2050mhz RX 480 4GB NITRO+ 1306/2050 -36mVWith same setings Sgminer is faster

The current overhaul of my small mining farm is going well, and new Linux rigs are pretty stable. I had to work on my farm as I was seriously running out of money, but I am also making some progress with GG. I ported the new GCN compiler to Linux, so I can finally run some experiments with GDS on RX 480.

Did it get better than Cm?

It turned out that only 8KB out of 64KB GDS is available with RX 480 and AMDGPU-PRO. GDS does not seem to work if m0 is greater than 0x1fff. I suppose I could just let the first CPU thread use GDS for row counters and keep everything else the same. It wouldn't make any sense to do all these experiments entirely in the GCN assembly as it consumes way too much time and I am hardly making any money with this miner...
Edit: All the GDS-related parameters in the HSA binary seems to be ignored. Oh well.

I get 268sols with Optiminer on my Rx 470 on Linux 4.8 with AMDGPU-Pro 16.40 (1900 memory clock). I think it would be pretty hard to get that kind of performance using just 8KB of the GDS.

I wonder if you could get the same speed on Linux 4.10 with AMDGPU-Pro 16.60. Let me try Optiminer on my Linux box... Edit: I got 290 S/s, so the driver is not the problem. There got to be a better way to access GDS, then...

I've been running a ton of experiments on the GDS on RX 480 and getting some pretty weird results. It seems like there is no straight forward way to access the entire 64KB. Smaller values for gds_segment_byte_size may work, though. Let's see...

Nope, it didn't work. I was just glancing through the change logs of optiminer and noticed something pretty interesting, though. - [1.7.0] New --pci-modes (0-3). Try if you see GPU freezes. It seems that optiminer directly accesses the GPU through the PCI bus. Maybe it sends a GDS_INIT P4 packet to the GPU so that it could access the entire GDS. What do you think, nerdralph?

On stock: AMD Radeon HD 7850, somewhat dated just 7990 getting mentioned in ANN so could I still employ my card? what to exspect in numbers? am considering XMR and also ETH beeing a long term investment, not so much interested into the others. would mine & hodl would have to get away from fglrx drivers first, some time investment.

XMR should work. Wolf's kernel is just great. I wouldn't recommend ETH, though. In any case, you have to try it yourself. Good luck!

PCI configuration space access from user space is possible via sysfs. This is done through a "config"-attribute provided with each PCI device sysfs-representation. http://developer.amd.com/wordpress/media/2012/10/pci%20-%20pci%20express%20configuration%20space%20access.pdfInteresting! $ lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

It seems that optiminer directly accesses the GPU through the PCI bus. Maybe it sends a GDS_INIT P4 packet to the GPU so that it could access the entire GDS. What do you think, nerdralph? Interesting idea. When I read that optiminer changes pci modes, I figured that was for newbies using cheap risers that don't know how to set the pci-e bus speed to gen1 in the BIOS. If optiminer directly initializes the GDS, it could probably do it for both Linux and Windows. I think the two most likely possibilities are: 1) There is some way to access more than 16KB of GDS from one kernel. Perhaps the driver initializes GDS differently using the CL2.0 ABI vs using CL1.2. 2) Optiminer executes 4 instances of the kernel, each using 16KB. If the original SA data structures are kept, the 16KB has to be split into 8KB for source (previous round) and dest (current round). However 8K * 256 (8-bit counters) = 2 million, which doesn't allow for overflow. It could use an overflow table in the GDDR, or maybe a form of wave sync with two kernels reading row counters from GDS and two kernels writing.

It looks like it is possible, on Linux, to send PM4 packets from the user space through libdrm, though, whereas that functionality is not exposed on Windows: https://github.com/Lucretia/libdrm-amdgpu/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=gdsI will try libdrm and see what I can do with it.
