Open Source XPM Pool + GPU Miner (aka. madPrimeMiner)

[eXtremal]

I can't optimize miner for 270/280X, because I don't have them.
Version 9.1: https://www.dropbox.com/s/auba1v24elkz23y/xpmclient_v9.1.tar.gz?dl=0

- All OpenCL kernel parameters (chain length target, sieve size, etc) moved to config.txt file. After changing kernel parameters you must delete old kernel.bin file before miner launching
- Full 11ch target support (set target = "11"; in config.txt when difficulty reach ~10.988-10.99).

For 270 and 280X cards you can try:
- primorials 12, 13 and 14
- "sieveSize" values - 210, 420, 630 and 840
- different "weaveDepth" values (must be a multiple of 256)

Sure no problem and I don't expect that you will optimize it for all cards as you are planning to support old ATi cards and even Nvidia Maxwell.
Just give you the information that old/slower cards probably need much different tuning parameters.

You can reach ~9,8CPD on R9 280X @ 1100/1500 with primorial = 13 and weave depth = 38912

Amazing results, props for the great work you've put out.

Thanks for your effort. I have tried v9.1 and it is quite funny that it seems default weave depth is faster this time...  I need to test more to confirm it.

Are you going to update your git source after you get to a stable release? (I know the CL code for kernel is in the tar.gz already.)

I run 280X with default weave depth again, waiting...

Latest sources already in repository https://github.com/eXtremal-ik7/xpmclient
CL code sources need for recompile after kernel parameters (sieve size, weave depth, width and target) changed.

Not faster, same speed ~9,7x on R9 280X 1100/1500

yeah i was about to ask if the cpd was correct for 11ch i got the same. also how do u figure the weave depth any calcs on that

[eXtremal]

also how do u figure the weave depth any calcs on that

Weave depth is a number of primes using by sieve weaving... more primes - less candidates on sieve output but with more prime probability.

Difficulty stop growing, 11ch target not needed again

yeah i know what it is but i was just wondering how to figure out the sizes i should u with other settings

also u see that shieldcoin guess its using prime too looks like a moded primeminer

If I understand right.. only experiments helps you. For 10ch target default value optimal, for 9ch and 11ch may be another value of weave depth better.

also u see that shieldcoin guess its using prime too looks like a moded primeminer

Awesome i also found one ages ago with your epic optimisations in the miner

Thanks for 9.2 you really are a baws. Please give me your xpm address again please i want to donate some more to you

[kev7112001]

i keep getting random errors every once in a while even with rigs that arent using any cpu usage just xpm mining only happens with 9.2

[kev7112001]

were at a all time high again

Yup  diff=10.980315 pretty high indeed looks like other gpu coins are not as profitable. I guess and people are looking to return to or diversify.
