[ANN][TAC] TalkCoin

[AizenSou]

I have released an optimised version of nist5 for sgminer (and amd). It is based on x11mod from lasybear
It works best on 14.6 amd drivers.

It was tested so far on my R9-290x and allows to almost double the hashrate.
On the standard talkcoin kernel, I was getting around 8.5MHash/s (on 14.6 drivers)
With this kernel I get 15.8MHash/s (average) at 1050MHash/s

To use it: "--kernel nist5"

I highly recommend to keep an eye on the temperature as the card can run hot (80°C) and over/underclock according to your liking.

The source can be found at: https://github.com/djm34/sgminer-nist5
binaries with ADL (fan temp) support for windows: http://www35.zippyshare.com/v/84876787/file.html

I didn't try to compile on linux, however it should work (if not let me know)

Donations are welcomed (since I double your hashrate  )

Well I hope there is a bounty for that too  

Good job djm34, although it won't let me compile under linux and I manage somehow to compile this, but I didn't get any improvement at all. I think the improve performance lies on driver 14.6, which I currently dont have (still 13.12).

Actually, this was released 1/2 half hours ago and I am pretty sure to be the only one using it right now   (however Nvidia got their upgrade too)
As much as I'd like to own the hashrate, this won't happen with my only R9 290x.  

And for your info, the difficulty has been decreasing quite a lot since yesterday.

When I try to run, libcurl-4.dll is missing

next, libcrypto.dll is missing

that's strange, I run my version without these...

Take libcurl-4.dll (http://www71.zippyshare.com/v/31328651/file.html) from old sgminer and working now.
R9 280x=12.67Mh/s
R9 270=7.941Mh/s

Thank you man!

I just spent 2 days upgrading miner, drivers and OS updates on my farm and I see this now...

It is clear that 14.6 is needed to get the speed increase on groestl.
But I see also some big difference between talkcoin where I was getting around 8.5MHash/s (both using 14.6)
to this one where I get 15.8MHash/s (I didn't try on the old one).

Mine hash went from 11.43Mh/s to 20.54Mh/s with your compiled miner. Both tried on drivers 14.6

I have tested on 13.12 and 14.4 drivers. (all in Debian 7.5)
Performance on 13.12 is slightly worse (6.2Mhs -> 6.1Mhs)
on 14.4 (6.2Mhs -> 5.6Mhs).

It seems like your mod doesn't like old drivers.

Anyone experience the same thing?

[MacHead2006]

Can`t compile in BAMT.
Anyway as I uderstand I need 14.6 drivers for new miner.

[djm34]

Can`t compile in BATM.

I will have a look to the linux side (it was tested only on windows so far).
Yes the 14.6 drivers are required.

djm34 uses windows branch so if you clone from this repo you won't able to compile it under Linux. Copy all of files in subfolder .deps of all algo folders from sph-sgminer_x11mod to sgminer-nist5 you should be able to compile it. But it needs 14.6 drivers. Anyone could please share his 14.6 *.bin file for 280x, 290 ? thanks. Just upload all your *.bin files in sgminer-nist5 if you got boost from djm34's version.

[atleticofa]

Not too much difference with 13.12

I should upgrade now

sorry first time uploading something to github...

Also, thanks to the generous donator who send me 4000TAC

No need to sorry. You've done well. Ignition75 has donated I think. you justs double his hash for him. Quite a nice whale.

I can report for performance decreasing too, about of ~3% :: R9 290, v14.4(windows), and increasing power (started use memory)

...will try the 14.6.

Wow thanks. It was fast. Could you share your config for 280x as well? thanks so much.

Mine config is simple:

Code:

color 0F
sgminer -k nist5 -d 0,1 -o stratum+tcp://pool1 -u user -p x --failover-only -o stratum+tcp://pool2 -u user -p amadej.pevec@gmail.com -I 22

280X=12.74 Mh/s
270=7.961 Mh/s
Gpu-engine for both (280x and 270) is set on 1150 with msi afterburner.

No thanks. My trick doesn't work. Copy bin file from windows to linux doing no good. I think I need to update the drivers. Thanks.

Don't forget to keep an eye on the temps. The temps are significantly higher.

when trying to compile on ubuntu, everything is fine until

git clone https://github.com/djm34/sgminer-nist5
cd sgminer-nist5
autoreconf -i
CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native" ./configure

but when I press
make

I receive "No names found, cannot describe anything". Where are located these .deps file you wrote in your post?? I cannot find a .deps folder in sph-sgminer_x11mod
