[ANN][YAC] Yacminer GPU miner for Yacoin

[cryptrol]

I'm using 7950 WF3s and they won't allow me to crank the TC past 24k, they just crash if I put them any higher. How are you guys managing to do that?

Intensity 12, thread concurrency 41216 and lookup-gap 2.
With these settings I get 35kh with a 7950 at core/memory clock 1040.

[ciklop1974]

I have ~47\50Khs on HD7970.

[Gordon Bleu]

yacminer.exe --scrypt -w 128 --lookup-gap 2 -I 13 --thread-concurrency 8192 -g 1 -o yac.coinmine.pl:9088 -u xxxxx.2 -p password

get 38 kh/s per 7950 gpu with yacminer-3.3.1-yac2-windows-x86  


but still 10:1 hw to accepted Ratio, dont know how to fix that

[eule]

Did you try lower intensity? I have to run my 5770 on I 10.

[ciklop1974]

My bat-file for HD7970

ybcminer --scrypt -w 256 --thread-concurrency 40960 --expiry 10 --Nfmin 4 --Nfmax 30 --StartT 1367991200 --gpu-threads 2 --lookup-gap 4 -I 12 --gpu-fan 90 --gpu-engine 11000 --gpu-memclock 1500 -o http://yac.ltcoin.net:5555 -u ***** -p *****
 pause

And i have 48-50 Khs.

[igysa]

 --Nfmin 4 --Nfmax 30 --StartT 1367991200

what is this for ?

[igysa]

YAC doubled itş value on cryptsy !!

Anyone have suggested settings for Radeon HD 7750, 2gb ram? Stock settings

[Ultimist]

Not sure what's wrong, I've tried all sorts of settings on my old 5850 rig with WinXP (x86).

When connecting to any pool, the yacminer window shows I'm getting roughly 10KH/s, but the pool never shows any hash rate and i never get a single stale or accepted share, even though yacminer runs, says it is connected, and shows a hash rate.

I have no clue what I'm doing wrong.

Post the command you are using so we can take a look.

[Ultimist]

Ok, not sure how helpful it will be, as I've tried a variety of settings... the good configs resulting in an apparent good connection to the pool, showing a hash rate ranging from 1.5 kh/s with intensity 9, and around 10 kh/s at intensity 15.  But as I said, the pool site never shows me having connected, always leaves me at 0 shares, and says my hash rate is 0.


Here's my latest attempt without extra settings beyond the basics, so I could see what might be causing the problem:

Code:

yacminer --scrypt -w 64 -I 9 -o http://yac.coinmine.pl:9088 -u Ultimist.wkr7 -p 123

I've tried specifying thread concurrency, lookup gap, etc., leaving them out, etc., in all sorts of combos.

Could I be running the wrong version of OpenCL perhaps?

I believe I have installed Catalyst 11.12, not sure which version of the OpenCL SDK that comes with, or which one I need...

You are using http and connecting to the stratum port.  Change your port to 8088 or change your protocol to stratum

[Ultimist]

Ok, tried turning on stratum, same result... so I turned on verbose output, and i get the following:

invalid nonce: HW error
over and over, after each line reporting hash rate, etc...

so I'm thinking I must have the wrong AMD driver and/or opencl version installed.

Anyone know what version I should be running on WinXP SP3 (32 bit) to make this work?

Thanks!

Edit: Not sure why this isn't working. Catalyst 11.12 with AMD APP SDK 2.6 works fine for me with cgminer and gui-miner scrypt... Maybe my PC just doesn't like the scrypt-jane algo. required for yac, lol.... This is very frustrating, as I'd like to use my GPU for YAC specifically.

Any suggestions?

[cryptrol]

Any suggestions?

With the verbose output you show, you should be seeing a lot of hw errors, it's quoted as "HW: xx" on the top right of your screen.
You just have to tune the thread concurrency value until you don't get HW errors or you get as few as possible.

limit you intensity to 2 for example and if it works try to increase it by 1 and recheck...

I have only 111 kh/s with my 7850

someone had success to run that scrypt-jane yacminer with 7870 ?

Just crazy, I have only 3Kh/s and always HW

Maximum without HW I can get only 1Kh/s

Used --Nfmin 4 --Nfmax 30 --StartT 1367991200 -s 1 --scrypt -w 256 --shaders 1024 --lookup-gap 1 -d 0 -I 10

and  --shaders 1280 -w 256 -I 9 --thread-concurrency 5120 -g 1

nothing helps:(

this one --shaders 1280 -w 256 -I 16 --thread-concurrency 5120 -g 1
giving ~15Khs, but only HW, nothing accepted.

Please suggest settings, maybe someone had success with 7870 cards?
I running it on Win7-64.

Thanks!

make (intensity) I 7 but only 500 H/s,

[Digicoiner]

With my Sapphire 7850 OC 2GB I get about 1.22 kh/s with these settings:

Code:

yacminer --scrypt -w 256 --lookup-gap 0 -I 8 --thread-concurrency  8192 --queue 1 --expiry 1 -g 2 --gpu-engine 1120  --gpu-memclock 1250 --shaders 1024

Any increase in intensity causes pc to be slow and/or gives HW errors.

[Ultimist]

Finally got mine going. Though I'm not sure whether it's worth it at this point.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. They definitely helped!

[Trokhon]

same problem, as you reported

what did you do?

thanks
