[ANN][X11/X13] X11 (Darkcoin)/X13 (Marucoin) miner (based on sph-sgminer)

[usahero]

which are recommended drivers for this? I am only getting 2.4Mhash on 280x and 1.75Mhash on 7950's with 14.4 on win7 64.

Getting SICK card warnings pretty easy (about 60 minutes) on my TRI-X OC R9 290X cards.

Heat/ventilation not an issue.

Anyway you can back up the SICK warning to 120 seconds instead of 60?

This is with gpu-threads 1, I am experimenting with threads 2 right now.

I don't know anything about sgminer source code architecture, and what i wrote below only my guess:
in sgminer.c we have this:

Code:

#define WATCHDOG_SICK_TIME		120

and ~100 lines of code below:

Code:

 else if (cgpu->status == LIFE_WELL && (now.tv_sec - thr->last.tv_sec > WATCHDOG_SICK_TIME)) {
				thr->rolling = cgpu->rolling = 0;
				cgpu->status = LIFE_SICK;
				applog(LOG_ERR, "%s: Idle for more than 60 seconds, declaring SICK!", dev_str);
				cgtime(&thr->sick);
}

Looks like it's actually 120 seconds, but in log writes 60 seconds.
Sorry for my bad english.

Ok. Added zlib1.dll. https://www.dropbox.com/s/59lvecndm866bzz/sph-sgminer_x11mod_b2.zip
About HW. Works fine on my 280X. Maybe something wrong in conf, maybe I compile it wrong.
3.4 Mh/s with conf:

Code:

"intensity" : "20",

I'm using amd app sdk 2.9
Thanks for testing.

Ran this as a drop-in replacement for the 2% miner on a small rig with 2x 290 Trix. Same settings and config (charged kernel from darkcoin to x11mod), just replaced the miner binary and achieved the same hashrates. So far all working great and I'll keep an eye open for possible problems. Oh, and achieved hashrates are about 3.5-3.6 MHs per card.

can you change the WATCHDOG_SICK_TIME ---> 240, and change the log readout to '2 minutes' as well?

DEAD_TIME is 600s / 10m still right?

I scaled back gpu-engine and added gpu-threads 2 and it hasn't rolled into SICK yet, but a drop of about ~.2MH/s.

Guess I can't complain from the 2.5MH/s increase from the re-compile though!

My theory is sometimes when you run on a profit-switching stratum, if you dip down to a low difficulty and it hooks onto a block (long process time) it has the chance to go sick.  I'm supplying full voltage, and fans are not an issue.

Guys how long time would it take to
Mine a darkcoin with geforce 670?

[tr0ubles0me]

Is there any chance of a windows binary with all the good stuff by Elun, but compiled by more reputable member like RRt5thoN or lasybear?

No hard feelings, Elun. You've done a wonderful job, but to post a binary without explanation first... Ouch.

Yes, 10m.
2 minutes sick version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yxgcp6cck0oopd0/sph-sgminer_x11mod_b2_2min_SICK.zip
I'll wait your report. I don't know, can it harm your card or not, looks like it doesn't.
UPD: Oh, wait. WATCHDOG_SICK_TIME ---> 240 it's 4 minutes. Wrong time in log again.

No problem, i can understand it.

I asked Elun to compile binaries for Windows due to RRT5ON is unavailable now.
Hi is a reputable member of russian mining forum.
I trust him.
BTW, you can wait a bit for RRT5ON binaries. I guess, several hrs.

In case of SICK/DEAD please use less gpu-threads or thread-concurrency.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/59lvecndm866bzz/sph-sgminer_x11mod_b2.zip

Version with increased time to SICK state:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yxgcp6cck0oopd0/sph-sgminer_x11mod_b2_2min_SICK.zip

Some info about increased time to SICK state: in code time delta compares with WATCHDOG_SICK_TIME. Original it was 120, it's logically to think that it will be 2 minutes. But in log it shows like 60s. Maybe constant was changed and log output not, or WATCHDOG_SICK_TIME 120 really mean 60s. In increased time SICK version WATCHDOG_SICK_TIME 240 and in log 2 minutes. I will research later 2 or 4 minutes is it.

Sorry for my bad english.

Nice, in winblows X64 i get +- 3k on my 280X (not oc-ed) and before about 2k

Anyone knows how to implement this X11 mod into PIMP or BAMT?

I used Virustotal.com to scan the 2min version. It detected 4 virus. Is it normal?

Please do the same for any version of cgminer/sgminer you have.

What's the difference between sph-sgminer_x11mod_b2.zip in this post, and the one you posted on page 11? The size of the executables is different, but they are both called b2.

Sorry for equal names.
@lasybear  said that version from page 11 based on old version sph-sgminer, and have some issues.
Version from my last post based on newer version sph-sgminer. Better to use version from page 13.
