SRBMiner Cryptonight AMD GPU Miner V1.9.3 - native algo switching

[doktor83]

V1.8.8
- Reduced CPU usage up to ~50%, can be noticed on algos with small scratchpad
- User is now informed about tweaking status on the screen too, not just in log
- No more --gpureorder, device ordering by bus id is now the default/only display mode
- Added parameter --watchdogrounds , which controls after how many rounds will watchdog trigger
- min_rig_speed_duration default is 1 minute now, because of the new --watchdogrounds parameter
- Fixed a few cosmetical things on web stats


+ If not using 'old_mode', on weak CPU's the cpu usage could go boom on algos with small scratchpad (UPX2, Turtle). In this version i managed to lower the cpu usage up to ~50%.
This also brings a small hashrate increase for RX cards on UPX2 as a side effect

+ The default (and only) device ordering mode from now on is ascending by bus id, as it is in OverdriveNTool. Parameter --gpureorder is removed.
NOTE: if you are using gpu_conf or --cgpuid, please run --listdevices to check if you are using the right deviceid!

+ Because of some trouble with gpu/min_rig_speed watchdog and kernel precompilation on CN/R (V4), a new parameter --watchdogrounds was added, so you can control after how many check-rounds will the watchdog trigger.
The GPU crash watchdog has a fixed interval of 30 seconds = 1 round. That means it will trigger miner restart only after --watchdogrounds * 30 sec (default number of rounds is 5).
5 * 30 = 150 sec ~ 2.5 minutes. If gpu crashes and can't recover for 2.5 minutes, the miner will trigger the restart action.

min_rig_speed parameter is also affected by --watchdogrounds from now on. The 'min_rig_speed_duration' parameter default value is now 60 sec, this is the value as the above for the gpu crash watchdog, except that you can change the value of this to anything >= 30 sec.
Taking the default value of 60 seconds and 5 rounds, it is 5 * 60 = 300 sec = 5 minute, that means if for 5 minutes the 'min_rig_speed' < total hashing speed, then it will trigger miner restart.

Anyone have any experience running SRB v1.8.7 as a client in minerstat? Whatever I do in the config file, it doesn't translate when I launch srb in minerstat.

My settings for monero:
{
"cryptonight_type" : “normalv4”,
"intensity" : 0,
"double_threads" : true,
"gpu_conf" :
[
   {
     "id" : 0,
     "intensity" : 106,
     "worksize" : 8,
     "threads" : 2,
     "old_mode" : true
   },
   {
     "id" : 1,
     "intensity" : 59,
     "worksize" : 8,
     "threads" : 2,
     "old_mode" : true
   },
   {
     "id" : 2,
     "intensity" : 106,
     "worksize" : 8,
     "threads" : 2,
     "old_mode" : true
   },
   {
     "id" : 3,
     "intensity" : 105,
     "worksize" : 8,
     "threads" : 2,
     "old_mode" : true
   },
   {
     "id" : 4,
     "intensity" : 105,
     "worksize" : 8,
     "threads" : 2,
     "old_mode" : true
   }
]
}

What srb in minerstat is stuck at:

id 0,2,3,4 at 71 intensity id: 1 at 56 intensity. What am I doing wrong in the normalv4 config?

hi, my vega 64 CN-R algo without tweaking Hashrate dropped from 2040 to 1970 moving from 187 to 188 , same config and same pool file and same coin. interesting is that my vega 56 didnt get affected. Im running low voltage settings on both cards (at the most stable possible setting)

I have an issue, my computer cashes because now SRB tries to use the Vega cores inside the Ryzen 2400G to mine, how could I disable the APU in your miner ?

Thanks

This is interesting, yes, because on vega56 i do the testings, and nothing changed as you say.
Are you running the --resetvega parameter ? Also the same ODT as before?
Can you test it a few times, just to be sure that there is really a change in hashrate, because there shouldnt be...

By now, you mean from v1.8.8 ? The ordering of the devices changed - they are now ordered by bus id so it is the same order as in ODT.
Run SRBMiner-CN.exe --listdevices in cmd and set device id's you use according to that

i dont use resetvega parameter and all settings are the same , i dont use start.bat at all, just running .exe file

now i noticed even vega 56 is affected.

Swap the intensities in 1.8.8 in gpu_conf, so :

id:1 = intensity 112
id:0 = intensity 122


You should be all back to normal

Check the post above yours

perfect, it works fine now, thanks

For the life of me, I cannot get 1.8.8 to run on any algo.... Whenever I hit H or S, I get nothing... Very slow response times... Compute Errors and GPU Crashes. I've tried on CN-GPU and CN-HOSP.

I'm using command line to run the miner, as I always have... Did something change here that I missed? 1.8.6 runs fine.

why my computer restart and hang if use tweak.......i get messages ur computer sight out

Hello, anyone know why I’m seeing this message (in light grey) after the miner been running for a while (not just right after startup)?

“Precompiling program [Bus...”
“Program finished precompiling [Bus...”

Its all good, just thar from 1.8.8 user can see these messages, before it wasnt displayed.

Ok, thank you. I switched pools at the same time I upgraded to v1.8.8, so wasn’t sure what was going on.

I can't remmber which exact GPU I have 580/590 in this rig.... driver is 19.4.1

Other algos worked... I know WOW did fine... but for wow I had all the jazz added to the command line with the device id, intensity level, threads.
