[ANN] sgminer-kl 1.0.9 - open source (AMD) miner for x16/x17/xevan/phi and more

[KL0nLutiy1]

Hi everyone,

I want to introduce a new open source miner based on the avermore miner. It supports x16r/x16s/x17/xevan/tribus/aergo algoritms. All list of the optimizatins you could see on github by release changelog or by the commits.

Speed for sgminer-kl 1.0.9:
x16r / x16s average hashrate:
Vega64: 18.6 MH/s

x17 hashrate:
Vega64: 20.4 MH/s

phi hashrate:
Vega64 33.5 MH/s (-w 256)

tribus hashrate:
Vega64 88.6  MH/s (-w 256)

polytimos hashrate:
Vega64 40.0 MH/s

geek hashrate:
Vega64 29.2 MH/s

aergo hashrate:
Vega64 7.0 MH/s

c11 hashrate:
Vega64 22.6 MH/s

skunk hashrate:
Vega64 52.5 MH/s (-w 256)

Test done on:
Vega64 OC settings: core 1425/920, memory 1100/920
Miner settings: -X 256 -g 2
Windows 10, AMD 18.6.1 driver

It contains a 1% devfee to have a motivation to continue the work on the miner.

I look forward to hearing your feedback about this new release.

Source code: https://github.com/KL0nLutiy/sgminer-kl
Bugtracker: https://github.com/KL0nLutiy/sgminer-kl/issues
Releases: https://github.com/KL0nLutiy/sgminer-kl/releases

sgminer-kl available for windows and linux.

Some optimization tips:

1. Set the following enviroment variables

Code:

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

2. You can start from xIntensity -X 256

3. You can run 2 threads per GPU --gpu-threads 2

Change log:

1) sgminer-kl-1.0.0
Initial release

2) sgminer-kl-1.0.1
Optimize echo for x16/x17
Use wolf-echo 80 kernel for x16
Optimize whirlpool and use for x16/x17/xevan
Small optimization for simd xevan

3) sgminer-kl-1.0.2
Add phi algo (~3% faster than bitbandi miner)

4) sgminer-kl-1.0.3
Optimize xevan simd kernel
Use wolf echo in xevan

5) sgminer-kl-1.0.4
Add tribus algo

6) sgminer-kl-1.0.5
Add aergo algo
Dev pool donation switching improvements

7) sgminer-kl-1.0.6
Add polytimos algo
Add geek (GeekCash) algo
Faster tribus (add midstate)
Fix --benchmark-sequence command for windows for x16r algo
Add support for Visual Studio 2017
Fix "block found" bug for x16s
Faster groestl/cubehash

8 ) sgminer-kl-1.0.7
Faster simd, echo, whirlpool for all supported algos

9) sgminer-kl-1.0.8
Add skunk algo

10) sgminer-kl-1.0.9
Faster groestl, keccak, hamsi for c11/x16r/x16s/x17/tribus/geek/aergo algos

Add linux binary

Add linux binary

I agree but if you're using linux it shouldn't be an issue as building things on linux is easy

What wrong with xevan for vega's GPU? 

[Ladydoge]

x17 works like a charm and is faster than old sgminer x17 fork. Do you have plans for adding/optimizing other algos like lyra2z, c11, tribus etc?

Yes I will add a new algos, and optimize the old ones if I will find a way how to do it )

Hi,

everytime I try this or Avermore after some time some cards are off/dead. played with -X and -I or- -g but no difference. other/former versions of sgminer or GG never had this problem.
any ideas?

BTW.
I started to follow the build instructions in VS, but stuck, may I ask for more detailed despription, especially the part "4. PDCurses", what win32 folder?

Try a less greedy OC / UV especially if you have mod cards

buddy, that's a
stupid comment, as I said other miners with same same settings don't fuck up, also algos like neoscrypt, phi (bitbandi), xevan, etc.

Do you have a log file, to see what can go wrong?

New version sgminer-kl-1.0.2: https://github.com/KL0nLutiy/sgminer-kl/releases/tag/kl-1.0.2

Minor thing, but Version 1.0.2 still says "sgminer-kl v1.0.1" in the top left of the program window.

And still xevan HW errors on Vegsa's

I have 10 AMD Rigs. 60% of them do this. The rigs I have success with are higher grade cards (Nitro+ and Gaming X). Lower grade cards (Armor/DUAL) will get 1 card going dead quite often. Really annoying. Even with stock bios and stock clocking. Tried multiple drivers.

Did you try to lower intensity or run the miner without -g 2 flag?

I ordered a new equipment. Will receive it next week to setup linux on it. For now linux version may be broken
