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

[reb0rn21]

Main PC
1070 + 1080 + intel GPU enebled

apha 0.4 try to mine on all three -> fail miner just close!

Disabled intel GPU in device manager, miner works fine

Please make option to disable GPU

PS: I guess miner is not so for NV as it use opencl and there is 100% on CPU per core vs GPU number

Intel GPU's are evil. GGS should ignore them. I will double-check.
There is a workaround for the infamous busy wait bug in NVIDIA's OpenCL driver, but it requires a ton of work.
You could avoid it by not attaching a monitor to the NVIDIA card, I think.

Monitor on NV does not help for CPU use... as far I know there is no workaround at least not without rewrite of opencl code

I was tracking down a really weird bug, but I finally hunted it down.
Oh, the fun of debugging a multi-threaded application...
I will run final tests and upload Version 0.0.5 shortly.

Tried new 2-threaded version. It works! Only several hashs per second less then Claymore 10.2. I think that you must add an Avarage Speed parameter. Nicehash still don't show profits and balance.
Can you add possibilty to add more GPU threads for cryptonight? On GG i used 3 threads per GPU on RX 580 8Gb.
Can GGS be launched by command line via bat-file? How autostart mining after launching program?

Our API server must be slow. I will add the auto-start feature now.

- Tried RX 580 8Gb with globalworksize 30x36 = 1080 instead 28x36 = 1008. Recieved slightly increased speed about 0.5%. But it can be GPU individaully... With 32x36 GSS dropped with error so as with localworksize 10 and 12 instead standart 8. Although GSS with 1 thread works with more variants of local and global work sizes. I think cause of this is implementation of 2 threads. GG works more stable with 2 GPU threads...
- What about power consumtion? Is it the same as in GG?
- What about overclocking cards? Simle core/memory clocks and vddc may be added?
- I think that its needed possibility to select GPUs for mining.
- And please add command line start possibility.

P.S. Often (1-2 an hour) rejected shares appers with this in log:
Device #0 submitted a share.
Share rejected: Job not found.

What is the reason of this? On Claymore miner all founded shares are normal...

Thanks for auto-start!
You changed localworksize to 4 and globalworksize to 16*CU for all cards equal... For compatibility I think? Because it gives less speed than it was before...

P.S. I succeeded to start 0.0.5 with localwork 8 and globalwork 32*36 = 1152 on my RX 580 8Gb and now speed more than Claymore 10.2! About 1-1,5% more!
You must made this parameters tuneable in program!

[zawawa]

Oops. I’ll fix it later tonight.

Oops. I’ll fix it later tonight.

And add an 580 to globalwork table. This is 480 exists, but 580 isn't.
Nicehash still didn't show profits and balance...

[treanski]

can u make it possibe to edit pools?

[zawawa]

I just uploaded a new version with bug fixes.

[hagbase]

Just installed new Version and miner shuts down after mining devfee?

Currently using Win10+FCU+17.11.1 driver, Asrock H81 with 2xRX580 4GB 2x RX570 4GB 1xRX570 8GB.

Do i need to reset claymore oc settings or use a different driver?

I just uploaded a new version with bug fixes.

Thanks for update!

Version 0.0.6 on periodically in log shows:

Exception: Bxoднaя cтpoкa имeлa нeвepный фopмaт.   в System.Number.ParseDouble(String value, NumberStyles options, NumberFormatInfo numfmt)
   в GatelessGateSharp.MainForm.UpdateCurrencyStats()

Nicehash profits and balance still didn't work. RigID don't showed in nicehash statistics as worker name.


Version 0.0.5 I found a bug:
If share founded right after receiving new job it's rejected. Here examples of 2 variants of errors showed:

Received new job: 000000294adc7bd9
Device #0 submitted a share.
Share rejected: Job not found.

Received new job: 00000026cbed363a
Device #0 submitted a share.
Share rejected: Invalid nonce; is miner not compatible with NiceHash?

Now testing 0.0.6.

[UnclWish]

It's amazing! I slow down overclocking from 1425/2250 (I use these clocks for Claymore's 10.2) to 1250/2250 but speed stays the same! And it still about 1-2% more than Claymore's 10.2 with overclocking! And about 3% more than Claymore's 10.2 without overclocking.
Furthermore, during GGS mining cryptonight I can comfort play middle range games and play videos. With Claymore's 10.2 video playback is freezing, and games with lags in 3d graphics!
Therefore GGS is more power effective and comfortable!
Great job, zawawa! You're the best!

P.S. It's need to add GPU enabling/disabling for mining. And possibility to run via command line at least different config files. Overclocking options needed too. And dual modes for ethereum.
Sorry for so many wishes. But your GGS miner best of all. I don't like Claymore's miners and waiting to full replacing his miners to your GGS.

P.P.S. I think in log it's time stamp needed. And timer in main window so as average speed.

P.P.P.S. It's strange but my 1st card have shares in 2 times more than 2nd card, but speed of 1st card is slower about 10% (different 580 cards).
And in 0.0.6 bug with rejected shares after receiving job stays:
Received new job: 00000026d39174c8
Device #0: 422,72 h/s
Device #0 submitted a share.
Share rejected: Job not found.

RX570 4GB must be it. I will make adjustments.

It also displays the elapsed time and has check boxes for enabling/disabling devices. Enjoy!
