[JCE]Fast & stable CN/v8/Heavy/Tube/XHV miner, CPU+GPU, Vega56 1800+ RX580 1200+

[UnclWish]

lost almost 2 hours mining of my vega rig using b5 and my favorite heavy coin and pool. Only stale shares (((. other rigs were using srbminer 1.7.0 with the same connectivity settings and had no problems.

Miner has wrong determined your coin. Set coin variation manully. For heavy algo add --variation 5 to command line.

Online is the B-X version (not packaged, just the .exe)

It's an experimental version, quite different from the previous ones
You will have a few bad shares, that's expected, often at the beginning of the session
On Tahiti and Pitcairn, there's a solid ~2% boost
And a very small one <1% on Hawaii and Bonaire
It should mine more stable on hi-mem cards, maybe with a slightly lower peak hashrate
CN-Dark is available on CPU and GPU

Ok, thanks! Let's try it now...

EDIT:
1st impressions - As you said - bad shares on RX appears, but not so much... Speed on Pitcairn is a bit faster. Speed on RX 580 8Gb looks like on b5... Speed stability is still watching...

EDIT2: 2nd - Bad shares appears on Pitcairn chip too. Speed on RX 580 8Gb is so unstable as on b5 and b6.

--variation property was set correctly.

Sorry, where is the B-X version?

no, my miner doesn't produce only stale shares. and how do you know they are stale? if they're all rejected so you chose the wrong --variation
no pool would let you mine for 2h with only bad shares. if that's just about the message in jce "stale, may be rejected" and then it gets accepted, so it's a good share.

bx that's the standalone .exe in Github (gpu project)

speed and bad shares were expected, not a big deal, but i really expected a more stable hashrare... at least it was more stable on my own rigs.

I repeat again. Variation was set correctly. In miner window all shares was marked as stale and all was rejected by pool. It was ~1-2 hours. Pool statistics also shows performance drop (on pool website). After some time all come back to normal. Other rigs with srbminer were working without a problem. Nvidia equihash miner that was working at the same time on this mixed vega-nvidia rig also had to problem.

I think it was some devfee switching problem with your miner. My bad, I have no logs (( .

[Bazzaar]

I see no difference with the hybrid version over standard version, neither better or worse
CPU usage is virtually nil, I think I dont understand configuration for the hybrid version.
Experimenting with one Vega 64 on 8 core xeon, no 1x risers.

[UnclWish]

speed and bad shares were expected, not a big deal, but i really expected a more stable hashrare... at least it was more stable on my own rigs.

From b5 version I noticed that miner needs much more time than 5 minutes to reach max stable speed on heavy. It's about 40-50 minutes. It's make difficult to test...

EDIT: With b-x strange situation with speed - it's became max, than works with max speed some time, and than it start to fluctuate again as on warm-up and didn't stabilize again...

[JCE-Miner]

Interresting, i hope i can understand and fix that hashrate speed bug

The hybridness is an internal detail, from the user point of view, Nothing changes.
I could make the CPU usage negligible, so that's normal you don't see any difference.

I'm making the 0.33b7 which will be the b-x with a little more "hybridness" for weak cards, and the bad shares fixed, or at least a lot less frequent.
To be release in a few days.

On v8 i can mine at 470 h/s on my HD7950 with b7, and 427 on Heavy, that's a lot faster than other miners. But few people still mine with such old cards.

I think it was some devfee switching problem with your miner.

Algo switch for devfee is on SRB only, i never switch algo on GPU (on CPU i do, but for MoneroOcean, not for fees).

Still, it may have been some netcode desync or something, i had fixed a lot of related bugs, but you may have had bad luck and found it at first try. Not impossible.

edit: the b7 still give higher and more stable hashrate on my RX rig, but that's the 3rd time i observe such. Maybe some mental bias. BTW it's quite good compared to b6 so i'll release once my tests are done.

Using the B-X version yields a combined hashrate in the range of 838 to 841 on two radeon hd 7850s (pitcairn), up from 825-828 on b6, so about a 10h/s improvement or ~1,6% increase.
After an uptime of 7 hours, 425 good shares and 0 bad shares have been found.
Total hashrate for gpu0 is approximately 413,96 h/s (this has a 1440p display plugged into it) and for gpu1 is 426,39 h/s (no display).
Oc gpu0: 1230 core, 1420 mem.
Oc gpu1: 1205 core 1432 mem.

The following launch parameter was used with miningpoolhub

Code:

jce_cn_gpu_miner64.exe --mport 3336 --stakjson --keepalive --forever --no-warmup --no-cpu -o stratum -u user -p password --variation 15 -c config.txt

. Omitting '--no-warmup' yields a very unstable hashrate.

The config.txt had to be slightly changed for the B-X version. Previously this config was used:

Code:

"gpu_threads_conf" : 
[ 
     { "mode" : "GPU", "worksize" : 8, "alpha" : 64, "beta" : 8, "index" : 0, "multi_hash":432 },
     { "mode" : "GPU", "worksize" : 8, "alpha" : 64, "beta" : 8, "index" : 0, "multi_hash":432 },
     { "mode" : "GPU", "worksize" : 8, "alpha" : 64, "beta" : 8, "index" : 1, "multi_hash":432 }, 
     { "mode" : "GPU", "worksize" : 8, "alpha" : 64, "beta" : 8, "index" : 1, "multi_hash":432 },
],

but on the newer version this config yields a better result

Code:

"gpu_threads_conf" : 
[ 
     { "mode" : "GPU", "worksize" : 8, "alpha" : 64, "beta" : 8, "index" : 0, "multi_hash":416 },
     { "mode" : "GPU", "worksize" : 8, "alpha" : 64, "beta" : 8, "index" : 0, "multi_hash":432 },
     { "mode" : "GPU", "worksize" : 8, "alpha" : 64, "beta" : 8, "index" : 1, "multi_hash":432 }, 
     { "mode" : "GPU", "worksize" : 8, "alpha" : 64, "beta" : 8, "index" : 1, "multi_hash":432 },
],

Furthermore, there's a 1-4 h/s difference between using multi_hash:416 on thread 1 on gpu0 (multi_hash:432 on thread 2), and using multi_hash:416 on thread 2 (multi_hash:432 on thread 1) on gpu0. Overall, from this very brief testing, the B-X version seems better than b6 on these gpus. Thank you for your hard work and time!
Edit: Forgot to mention, the driver used is Adrenalin Edition 18.6.1

[migo77]

@migo77 : here you gave the linux cpuid, what was detected by JCE linux?
In all case you have great control on CPU:

Simple: --t N to force N threads, and --archi to set architecture (e.g. ryzen, athlon64, core2 ...)
Advanced: use manual config (examples are provided in the .zip)

So far most of my users are Windows CPU miners, GPU is far less (i've more competitors there) and Linux almost negligible

Hi JCE, yes I know about configuration options and I'm using them I'm linux admin with experience I'm interested in your high efficiency on old HW, but in some cases I cant' achieve it.

That old opteron is detected as generic_sse2 and speed is the same as xmr-stak that I'm using, it is around 150h/s with arch set to athlon64 I see nice increase in hr with JCE at 170h/s which is fine and worth higher fee. That athlon reports sse4a instruction set, but your algorithm for sse4 doesn't work. I checked various thread/cache/multihash options and this is max I was able to achieve. Is there anything else we can do for more optimizations?

With JCE is 607h/s maximal hr but with xmr-stak I'm on 650h/s. Tested with various core/thread/cache options. Can we do it better?  

And I have 180 little core2duo miners on which can your miner shine, but I need version for old glib, because I can't upgrade env on this machines due users sw limitations.  I've commented on bug reported and some guy compiled xmrig staticaly for me which works like this:

1|proxy-lo | 2018-11-16 18:27 +01:00: The proxy currently has 171 miners connected at 2294 h/s with an average diff of 134

1|proxy-lo | 2018-11-16 18:27 +01:00: The proxy currently has 171 miners connected at 2293 h/s with an average diff of 134

I can test for you if you have som experiments if needed and maybe we can make your miner better If I'm bothering you with too much technical details let me know I'll stop. Maybe you can suggest some options, optimizations or something that can help.

Thanx.

hey bud, your github page has been flagged as malicious when i try to download the latest GPU version with firefox.... I tried another github page and doesnt show same msg.

+ when i open the zip 033b6, before extracting, my antivirus detect Skeeyah.a!rfn trojan ....

I have 033b2 version AND when i open the 033b2 zip the antirivus doesnt detect a trojan !

Look over it, your GitHub account might be compromised.

I'll wait before updating

Yes, on b-x version max speed on RX 588 achieved often after 5-6 min. But after some time, 10-15+ minutes, speed start to fluctuate on 1 of GPUs and drops about 20%, after several minutes it start to flactuate on others GPUs and drops speed about 20-25% too.
Maybe when you test b-x version and after reaching max speed you can see 5-10 minutes stable max speed.

[pbfarmer]

speed and bad shares were expected, not a big deal, but i really expected a more stable hashrare... at least it was more stable on my own rigs.

From b5 version I noticed that miner needs much more time than 5 minutes to reach max stable speed on heavy. It's about 40-50 minutes. It's make difficult to test...

EDIT: With b-x strange situation with speed - it's became max, than works with max speed some time, and than it start to fluctuate again as on warm-up and didn't stabilize again...

The warm-up behavior isn't just since b5.  I reported this a month or two ago (in this forum) on at least 32q, for 580s mining heavy/variants.  Given that it almost always eventually finds the optimal h/r (and stays there,) coupled w/ this being the most stable miner i've used (i.e. long uptimes,) i haven't been terribly bothered by it.

I have yet to migrate off of 32q, so can't offer much insight on current performance/behavior.

[maxfunky]

Could you add a linux cli option for mining via socks proxy ?

like the -x option in cpuminer : -x SOCKS5://127.0.0.1:9050

Thanks 

[UnclWish]

JCE, make next version with bad shares fix, please!

I've got a request for a CentOS (and other old linuxes) support on Github, didn't compared if it was you, i may do it but I cannot give this a high priority considering the little dev time I have. It would be the niche (old os) of a niche (linux) of a niche (cpu minning).

To get more speed from your Dual-Xeon, set-up this manual config:

Code:

"cpu_threads_conf" : 
[ 
     { "cpu_architecture" : "auto", "affine_to_cpu" : 0, "use_cache" : true, "multi_hash":1 },
     { "cpu_architecture" : "auto", "affine_to_cpu" : 2, "use_cache" : true, "multi_hash":1 },

     { "cpu_architecture" : "auto", "affine_to_cpu" : 8, "use_cache" : true, "multi_hash":1 },
     { "cpu_architecture" : "auto", "affine_to_cpu" :10, "use_cache" : true, "multi_hash":1 },
     { "cpu_architecture" : "auto", "affine_to_cpu" :18, "use_cache" : true, "multi_hash":1 },

     { "cpu_architecture" : "auto", "affine_to_cpu" :17, "use_cache" : true, "multi_hash":1 },
     { "cpu_architecture" : "auto", "affine_to_cpu" :23, "use_cache" : true, "multi_hash":1 },
	 
    /* Optional */
     { "cpu_architecture" : "auto", "affine_to_cpu" : 1, "use_cache" : false, "multi_hash":1 },
     { "cpu_architecture" : "auto", "affine_to_cpu" : 7, "use_cache" : false, "multi_hash":1 },
     { "cpu_architecture" : "auto", "affine_to_cpu" : 3, "use_cache" : false, "multi_hash":1 },

     { "cpu_architecture" : "auto", "affine_to_cpu" :11, "use_cache" : false, "multi_hash":1 },
     { "cpu_architecture" : "auto", "affine_to_cpu" :13, "use_cache" : false, "multi_hash":1 },
     { "cpu_architecture" : "auto", "affine_to_cpu" :19, "use_cache" : false, "multi_hash":1 },
     { "cpu_architecture" : "auto", "affine_to_cpu" :15, "use_cache" : false, "multi_hash":1 },
     { "cpu_architecture" : "auto", "affine_to_cpu" :21, "use_cache" : false, "multi_hash":1 },
]

The first part should be as good, or a bit better than the actual config.
Then enable some of the extra lines below, add them one by one while it gives extra performance.
That's theorical, i don't own the same Xeon as you, but i expect you can get more speed than with stak.

proxy: nope, no proxy nor socks support, it would allow illegal use of JCE as a embedded trojan/malware or on corporate servers. It's probably hackable, but i won't give any support for this.
This is the security rule Claymore applied (no proxy, no socks) and i do the same.
On claymore it connected but hashed bad on purpose. I prefer just forbid it.

about trojan: I know JCE is flagged as virus/trojan/nuclear waste/whatever but there's nothing i can do, that's documented, just disable your AV or add an exception. The github page itself is still online, your browser AV blocks it.

Version b7 on the way, with:
* Reworked the Heavy code (again)
* bad shares mostly fixed
* Speed gain ~2% backported to the HD6000s
* AES parts removed from my code generator, making JCE start faster.

Also version 0.33g for CPU with better support of MoneroOcean parameters, and CN-Fest

It seems that your miner shows fake hashrate mining heavy on old cards

This is the report for shares and effective hashrate

So, on Vega and Polaris cards your miner shows correct estimation of hashrate. On Hawaii and Tahiti - more than 1.5 times "fake"

Hi JCE, thank you for suggestion, but nocache option is no go on Linux and on Linux are first lower halve of core numbers real cores and second one are HT cores unlike on Windows. But I'll try if it is better than actual setup.
