hsrminer - Nvidia mining software for various algos by palgin&alexkap

[palgin]

Ok. Just for the test - to get speed. What pool is working?

http://hshare.novapool.cn/ is 100% working at the moment.

Awesome.. cant wait to see neoscrypt and other algos.

Can anyone give me reference speeds for GTX10xx family cards on Neoscrypt algo? Finished today with 1220 kH/s on 1080 (not Ti), I want to know on which speeds should I focus.

[m1n1ngP4d4w4n]

1070 EVGA FTW - 60% TDP (112W) - OC +135/+550 - 1150kH/s (KlaustT ccminer 8.15)

1070Ti EVGA FTW3 - 60% TDP (120W) - OC +145/+600 - 1300kH/s (KlaustT ccminer 8.15)

Neoscrypt doesn't seems to play well with the memory of the 1080 series.

1080ti seems bad on neoscrypt also, klaust 8.15, 90% tdp low overclock

1080ti 1400h/s
1070  1150h/s
1060 6gb 660h/s

neoscrypt problem is TDP usage... only way to more hash is if there is room to speedup hash with lower TDP
1070 - 1150-1300   70-110% power
1080 - 1150 at  75%
1080ti - 1400 at 80% <- very low clock ~1350-1400mhz due TDP limit

AMD is killing in cryptonight its shame NV is so slow on it, most benefit AMD has is from memory timings on it

OK, thank you all for the info.

I'm preparing separate kernels for each card model in 10xx series because there are different bottlenecks for them (at least in my case). Current kernel works good only on 1080 (may be Ti too, don't have any for tests, should definitely buy one, and may be Titan series feels speedup too, have none of them too). 1070 is ~100 kH slower with current "1080 kernel", 1060 3Gb kernel is in work, I expect 850-900 at the end with slight mem OC (+200-250 on mem).
All current tests are made on stock driver settings at 100% TDP (no OC)

P.S: It's ~1300 on 1080 with new kernel version, but it's impossible to run more than 1 card, system hangs and needs to be restarted physically, will also look for a workaround for this and try to lower memory consumption, think it's the reason.

Still a lot of work to do before Neoscrypt release but I'll try my best to finish before 25th of December.

Nice, keep up the good work

Thank you, informative!

UPDATE: found a way to speedup (10% and more) memory dependant Neoscrypt, but this needs completely other type of kernel, which I'm still learning to write, so hsrminer-Neoscrypt will deifintely be delayed. 

Will try to keep you updated on progerss.

Sorry for the delay, I wish you all pleasant holidays, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Product contains devfee 1% (0.5% for me, 0.5% for alexkap) and is close-sourced, but voluntary work won't be abandoned.

Will be distributed (at least on the first stage) as one binary per algo, not so convenient, I understand, but currently it's code-bounded.

Cool work - however please consider this a formal request for the source - is seems the kernels might be related to another project of yours, https://github.com/palginpav/ccminer - which I'd also love the source for. Since the ccminer fork is entirely off a project released under GPL, all the code you've written is also considered GPL.

I'm all for your devfee and am not looking to remove it, however I tend not to run anything I cannot compile myself and I tend to try and do my own optimizations for my linux rigs.

Thanks - looking forward to the releases.

Hi, thanks for your interest, but in fact you're not right.

We've started this project specially to get rid of GPL licensed code and possible legal problems, all kernels in hsrminer are my intellectual property, which I have full right not to publish in source code format. You can say style smells like ccminer, but style similarity is not GPL violation, it's the same as, for example, saying that "Daimler AG" is violating "WAG Group" licenses because their cars also have steering wheels and doors. And program clearly says it was "inspired" by ccminer and EWBF's equihash miner.

This project is not related to any kind of "optimisation" as ccminer-palginmod was. If it was so, why we're losing devfee and not releasing new algos for weeks? ccminer-palginmod had many algos "optimised", why not publish them? Hsrminer kernels are homebrew, and it takes me tons of time (really, I get up at 7AM and go to bed at midnight, spending hours in front of screen) to create something faster than existing software offers. Also, palginmod had no movement since 9th of August this year if you look at github.

It's your right to use this software or not, just to close any speculation around GPL and my violation of it, I'm removing all palginmod binaries from Github, just right time to do it.

Thank you again for raising this question and have a nice day!

[palgin]

OK, don't think I can go further with current generation kernel, and I'm a bit tired of Neoscrypt to be fair.

Here's 1080 (not Ti, KFA2) at 100% PL without OC



I'm passing this to alexkap, he will create work distribution code for my kernel, then I'll compile and publish hsrminer-Neoscrypt. How long would it take him - I don't know, but I'll try to push him to finish it faster.

1300 at stock settings is really darned good for a GTX 1080 on Neoscrypt. I think you will get some traffic once the miner is released since there's quite a few highly profitable Neoscrypt coins out there right now. Good work man!

[HashingHellfire]

Used your skunkhash mod before, it was great!!  Look forward to seeing this software develop, will be very happy to send devfee your way once the most profitable algos appear.. Lyra2Rev2, Equihash and Nist5 for me currently.  Wish you good luck and respect your ambition to build a custom miner!!

Thank you, Lyra2v2 and Nist5 will definitely be added, maybe even this year, I was working this way before switching to Neoscrypt.
Equihash is another "hardcore" for me, like Neoscrypt was, so I'll need to rest a bit before another fight with algo

Ah cool, thanks for the clarification. Best of luck with hsrminer!

Will you be open sourcing your last changes as of August 9th for palginmod? Removing the binaries doesn't replace the need for distributing the source for something you've already distributed.

I'd be happy to do it, but I have no source for this now, I've lost it with my HDD at the mid-september.

[palgin]

alexkap didn't reply me, so I prepared Neoscrypt release myself.

LINK: hsrminer_neoscrypt

Tested on 1060 3G, 1070, 1080 (not Ti), due to kernel specific it may not launch on 1060 6G, 1080Ti and Titan series, so I need feedback of that models owners if any want to participate.

***BUG FIXED***

Tested on 1070/1080 mixed rig and on 1060 3G only rig.

Will be waiting for your feedback!
