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

[HansHagberg]

Has anyone managed to improve upon the "auto" performance for Ryzen 2700X on CN7 ?
I get ~740 h/s on stock settings.

Adding non cached threads (beyond eight) kills the performance for me.

This program works on Arm CPU? Can i use it on a raspberry pi?

[nordmann666]

i tried to chance thhe config file for my Ryzen 1700 - but the changes are not recognized from the miner?!

i can change to 1 (only for exampe) thread but the miner still starts with 8 Threads

tried the start_as_admin.bat but no changes

is there a registry that i have to delete?!

whats the best config for ryzen 1700 and crypto V7 (non heavy)

TIA

EDITH: get it...thanks

Hello,

I'm looking for configs settings, I just changed my hardware. Looking for Ryzen 5 1400 config type (I now have a Ryzen 5 2400G), for V7 and heavy please.
If possible, with "large page enabled".

Thanks.

Hello,

Has anyone managed to improve upon the "auto" performance for Ryzen 2700X on CN7 ?

Nope, the best possible for CN7 is 8x single thread.
For Cryptolight (IPBC, Turtle) there are tricks with double-hash, and for Heavy (Loki, Solace...) with no-cache. But nothing better for CN7.

Adding non cached threads (beyond eight) kills the performance for me.

Correct, same for my Ryzen. Intel cpus may get extra perfs with no-cache on CN7, but not Ryzen.

whats the best config for ryzen 1700

The same than for Ryzen 2700 : the default one got with --auto.
Or if you want to force it: --archi ryzen -t 8
but that's the same.

but the changes are not recognized from the miner?!

you need to use -c <configfile> to enable manual config.

This program works on Arm CPU? Can i use it on a raspberry pi?

Absolutely not, it's written in assembly for x86 and x64 CPU. Not hardware portable at all, on purpose.
But i'm making a Linux version (for x86/x64 PC only)

best config for Ryzen 5 1400 for CN-V7

Code:

"cpu_threads_conf" :  
[  
     { "cpu_architecture" : "ryzen", "affine_to_cpu" : 0, "use_cache" : true, "multi_hash":1 },
     { "cpu_architecture" : "ryzen", "affine_to_cpu" : 2, "use_cache" : true, "multi_hash":1 },
     { "cpu_architecture" : "ryzen", "affine_to_cpu" : 4, "use_cache" : true, "multi_hash":1 },
     { "cpu_architecture" : "ryzen", "affine_to_cpu" : 6, "use_cache" : true, "multi_hash":1 },
]

for Ryzen 5 1400 for Heavy :

Code:

"cpu_threads_conf" :  
[  
     { "cpu_architecture" : "ryzen", "affine_to_cpu" : 0, "use_cache" : true, "multi_hash":1 },
     { "cpu_architecture" : "ryzen", "affine_to_cpu" : 2, "use_cache" : false, "multi_hash":1 },
     { "cpu_architecture" : "ryzen", "affine_to_cpu" : 3, "use_cache" : false, "multi_hash":1 },
     { "cpu_architecture" : "ryzen", "affine_to_cpu" : 4, "use_cache" : true, "multi_hash":1 },
     { "cpu_architecture" : "ryzen", "affine_to_cpu" : 6, "use_cache" : false, "multi_hash":1 },
     { "cpu_architecture" : "ryzen", "affine_to_cpu" : 7, "use_cache" : false, "multi_hash":1 },
]

[Iamtutut]

I have this weird error:

jce_cn_cpu_miner64.exe --low -c -o communitypool.stellite.cash:6688 -p T***t:tut**et@***.com -u Se2P*****62jBLTQ3mg (the * are replacing the real adresses)
Parameter error, unknown argument communitypool.stellite.cash:6688

[JCE-Miner]

look at your -c

it must be followed by the config file name. You miss that argument, and other argument gets badly interpreted.

Code:

jce_cn_cpu_miner64.exe --low -c config.txt -o ..........

the filename can be any existing text file containing config. .txt is just simpler.

and be careful, when Stellite forks (in a few days or weeks) but not before you'll need to add param --variation 7

edit: found a bug that could crash the miner at start, in case a Large Page was missing. Making a bugfix 0.27e with

Code:

Architecture Codename replaced by Assembly Codename (overridable with --archi)
Core2 detect fix
Possible crash fix

about Large Page: there's nothing to do on JCE, it uses them when possible, and normal memory otherwise. You must enable Large Pages (called Locked Pages under windows). Here's a guide

Thanks, it works, but it seems the Ryzen 5 2400G doesn't appreciate the Ryzen 5 1400 config, the:
"cpu_threads_conf" : 
[ 
     { "cpu_architecture" : "ryzen", "affine_to_cpu" : 0, "use_cache" : true, "multi_hash":1 },
     { "cpu_architecture" : "ryzen", "affine_to_cpu" : 2, "use_cache" : true, "multi_hash":1 },
     { "cpu_architecture" : "ryzen", "affine_to_cpu" : 4, "use_cache" : true, "multi_hash":1 },
     { "cpu_architecture" : "ryzen", "affine_to_cpu" : 6, "use_cache" : true, "multi_hash":1 },
]

Is 50% slower than auto config.
It's weird to me, I thought basically the 2400G is a 1400 + Vega.

[JCE-Miner]

I thought too, but looked at spec and saw that 2400G has only 4M of cache, that's as low as a decade old Conroe.
So the best config for 2400G should be :

Code:

"cpu_threads_conf" :  
[ 
     { "cpu_architecture" : "ryzen", "affine_to_cpu" : 0, "use_cache" : true, "multi_hash":1 },
     { "cpu_architecture" : "ryzen", "affine_to_cpu" : 2, "use_cache" : false, "multi_hash":1 },
     { "cpu_architecture" : "ryzen", "affine_to_cpu" : 3, "use_cache" : false, "multi_hash":1 },
     { "cpu_architecture" : "ryzen", "affine_to_cpu" : 4, "use_cache" : true, "multi_hash":1 },
     { "cpu_architecture" : "ryzen", "affine_to_cpu" : 6, "use_cache" : false, "multi_hash":1 },
     { "cpu_architecture" : "ryzen", "affine_to_cpu" : 7, "use_cache" : false, "multi_hash":1 },
]

which should be similar to autoconfig

[Iamtutut]

I'm around 170 H/s, which is still 4 times more than the G3460 for the same power draw (20-25W).

I picked the 2400G mostly for the Vega cores. My idea is to use my computer for whatever I want + mining with my current GPUs, also while not doing anything with it, being able to mine with the integrated Vega cores (almost any token but ETH).

[skablast]

sorry to disturb

I can get  some (SOME full rack) CPU: 2x xeon E5420 ( 4 cores each ,12 mb l2) 2.5GHz servers reasonably priced.

Does this miner work with windows server ?
any idea +- of the potential speed with those kind of Xeon ?

[JCE-Miner]

yeah, using both cpu and apu may give good results, and 25W is very low power consumption

a core2 xeon 5420 will give exactly 107 h/s on CN V7, with 64 Bits version, i already tested that cpu

Minimum is Vista 32 Bits but it may work on Server 2003 and later, didn't test. not on xp (tested and failed)

[4ward]

interestingly, 2 cached threads with double-hash give almost the same performance with almost half the power usage and responsive system, so until I find a better combination, ill stop there )

Ok, so I decided to try some extreme values

The config above on i5 7600k was giving ~100h cn-heavy

Running 4 cached threads with multi_hash 6 gives me a huge jump to 166h (pool side result confirms huge increase, although because its luck based - it fluctuates)
But definitely higher than automatic 100-105

[JCE-Miner]

yes that's pretty extreme, but if you get +66% for the same power consumption, that's great !

pool side result confirms huge increase, although because its luck based - it fluctuates

JCE hashrates are real and untweaked, if it displays 166 so that's 166

i'll give some tries on my ryzen, 166 for a 6M cache cpu is surprisingly high !

0.27e online - bugfix revision

Code:

Architecture Codename replaced by Assembly Codename (overridable with --archi)

Fix of possible crash

no other change, no perf change

A very good suggestion to make the miner run not only through the command line with parameters, but much easier to run directly .exe. And all startup parameters will be written in the config file.txt, since it was made in xmr-stak via config.txt or as in Xmrig via config.json

Code:

[
    { "low_power_mode" : true, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 0 },
    { "low_power_mode" : true, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 1 },
],
"nicehash_nonce" : false,
"use_tls" : false,
"pool_address" : "pool:3333",
"wallet_address" : "wallet",
"pool_password" : "x",
"httpd_port" : 0,

and so on...

You can also make the miner can be run directly not through .bat , that is, if you run .exe without parameters then they will take them from the configuration file? That's better.

[JCE-Miner]

i understand what you mean, but that's exactly what i wanted to avoid, a config file with 500 parameters.

i think the .bat can play the role of the config file, if you really want one. otherwise the current config file remains optional, and for fine tuning only.

[sergneo]

only one .bat in the role of the configuration file is not convenient
500 parameters are unnecessary, only parameters from the command line are needed.

Code:

Command line parameters:
  -o <pool>:<port>
  -u <wallet>
  -p <password>
  -a <x>
  --ssl
  --nicehash
  --any
  --variation N
  --retrydelay N
  --autoclose N
  --mport <port>
  --stakjson
  --forever
  --low
  --donate
  --auto
  --archi <archi>
  -t N
  --log <file-path>

all modern miners use a separate config file, can you do the same thing?

[JCE-Miner]

mmmh, well if that's a people's request...
My model is Claymore CPU, which is very slow, but also very simple.

Ok i add it to my todo-list, but not high priority. Now working on Linux version.

[sergneo]

JCE-Miner
Thank you, we look forward to
And for the Linux version will inevitably have to do such a config file, in Linux there are no bat files)

[JCE-Miner]

no but Linux men love ultra-complex command lines
Seriously, Linux version will start with the same command-line based config
