New Eth Genoil Branch (with Claymore kernels)

[goobur]

So for reasons I can't fully disclose, I've ported the kernels from Claymore's miner into Genoil's miner. For us, this is a boon because it allows us to verify and rebuild the miner source (it makes its way into projects around here, so this is super useful) and validate its speed. I'm not allowed to talk about what it is I'm doing, but I do have permission to release the code (it's based off of an open source project), so I've created a new repo with this code:

https://github.com/goobur/ethminer-cm
Read the release notes for details.

Generally, for all of our RX 580's we get performance increases on par with Claymore's miner. Although we don't have a whole array of other cards to test on, so your mileage may vary on other AMD cards, right now it seems that Ellesmere, Baffin, Pitcarin and Tahiti cards are working for sure. Also, we don't have any NVIDIA cards, (well, not enough to target them) so the CUDA kernels in this release are the same as vanilla Genoil's kernels.

Also, I'm now onto a different task at work (we don't really care much about dual mining). But I'm pretty fond of this project and I'd like to keep working on it -- specifically I'd like to add dual mining (which I know how to do, but would take some time). I'm just unsure which dual coin I should add first. So in order to decide, I'll let people vote via donations : )

I do want to keep working on this, but it's hard to without any incentive. If you don't want to donate, I definitely understand and I still want you to use this software (and any further releases) for free.

Cheers!

Tried this miner on GCN1.0 cards. Speed of ether mining is the same as in Claymore's Dual Miner solo mode. Maybe some 1-2% difference...
Good job!

Thanks man : )

Do you mind telling me which cards in specific?

[sabercrypto]

thanks for this. will try it to my rigs later

it doesnt submit reported hashrate on ethermine.

anyone tested this on nvidia cards? i assume no devfee here? been waiting for this for quite some time now..

What is wrong with you people? Do you know how much time it cost do something like that? Or even PBE, SRB, Watttool and nobody send any tip to them. You won't get something for nothing! There is 0.5% even pools have bigger fees -_- If there would be no fee nobody would send him any tip.
Same with Robinh00d or whatever the nickname was, he post here weeks ago beta drivers for DAG issue, thousands of you use it and he got nothing, he can't even buy a coffee.
I also got 0 tip for my guides, only from my grateful customers that I appreciate.

P.S.
Put this into your bat file for no dev fee, but you truly s*ck if you use it.

Code:

--i-suck

Any video tutorial on how to use this on win10 x64? Thanks for link...

hey man relax, i support "there's no free lunch" principle and good work should always be paid.. now i totally agree claymore deserves the fee he charges in fact all my gpu miners are running on his software because his is the most stable in my environment lol.. just trying to clarify since goobur didn't mention it anywhere and if there's i'd like to know how it's being charged is all... besides if his hash rate is on the same level then that also makes decision easier for me whether it's stable or not and whether i should make the switch... i just don't like my miners being diverted and mine on some pools temporarily... btw good work on the guides.

Unfortunately, this wasn't a feature of ethminer, and I didn't add it into this version.

I may add it in future releases though.

If you need, you can recompile to run on windows 8.1.

Tested on XFX RX 570 4GB.
27.1 mh/s with this miner
27.0 with Claymore

Nice work!!!
Thanks

Thanks,
Although you should be wary of the reported hash rate -- I really should average it over a longer period of time. Check your pool's stats and see if you're getting a benefit (I believe you should be getting approx +1% in the measured rate, but you shouldn't take my word for it, you should definitely verify for yourself.)

Interesting, is that a measured hash rate, or the reported hash rate? There are two possibilities for this difference
1. I messed up the launch params on hawaii archs, in which case you may be able to fix it with

Code:

-eint k

where k is some value > 0, and is 8 by default.
2. There's too much variance in the reported hashrate, and it needs to be averaged by the miner over a longer period of time (which I'll probably add in the next release, because my reported rates are all over the place sometimes too.)

Will be WIN version?

And donate to ETH?)
