[ANN] sgminer v5 - optimized X11/X13/NeoScrypt/Lyra2RE/etc. kernel-switch miner

Wow, yeah, I hit the mythical 6.2M as well.
The performance increase is a creeper, but it gets there after around 20 minutes.

badman74, are you familiar with #pragma unroll?

Why can't we #pragma unroll 14 for the bottom two loops in groestl.cl?  Is it because we are inside of a do-while?

Trying to #pragma unroll 14 the two for loops inside of the do-whiles doesn't work; it won't build the bin.

actually i have no idea
the only reason i found that for groestl.cl was because it was in aznboy84's darkcoin-mod.cl

Yeah if you look in his bitblock.cl, you will see something in the end, under the whirlpool section; take notice of his #pragma unroll 10

I'm wondering why we can't mimic such behavior but with #pragma unroll 14 for the r<14 for loops.  I don't think we can unroll do-whiles, though.

#define SPH_COMPACT_BLAKE_64 1 seems to give just a tiny bit more

Edited all .cl's; running experiment for uptime & stability; will report back.
Appears to add around 50Kh/s on x11.

seems like
#define SPH_LUFFA_PARALLEL 1 = 2%
#define SPH_COMPACT_BLAKE_64 1 = 1%
#define SPH_KECCAK_UNROLL  6 = 1%
substituted loops in groestl.cl = ~5%

I wonder if this is only for us on these Hawaii architectures.
Would it be worth us submitting a pull request to edit/update these four .cl files, or would it break compatibility for Tahitis & Pitcairns?

same seems to apply for my 7750's

Where can we get .cl's with these changes in the meantime?

check my sig
let me know if you find any that wont build or decrease in hashrate

[ebliever]

Thanks; my rig's on a lease (which I consider hands-off periods) so I'll have to wait to try it, but I'll let you know if it makes a difference pro or con.

EDIT: The newer builds mentioned here didn't help any, I ended up reverted to my July 25 build for best stability.

I've been playing with engine/memory settings on individual GPUs. After a few hopeful minutes I keep getting SICK GPU's at anything above 1020/1350 on X11.

[bullus]

My max with x11 is 6230kh/s but I can't achieve it everytime..usual it is 6160kh/s..
It happen often if I reboot my pc and start hashing with x11, but today that don't even work. Any explanation or do someone get the same?

There are some changes regarding
"blake-compact" : true,
"keccak-unroll" : "8",
"luffa-parallel" : true,

Are there already windows build out?

The .cl's in the 'sgminer_v5_0_develop' branch in your sig have the changes? Do I need to use that sgminer, or just the .cl files?

I'm just not getting anything like your guys' hashrates. What sdk are you running, or does sgminer even require that?

Platinum4,

Just need to know if those configs are running correctly on your 290X Trix-oc ?

[unlock.mk]

sgminer v5 doesnt seems to work for my AMD GPU cards​, my PC hangs completly, and i have to manual restart

Can you help me ?​
Cards that needs to be supported are:

HD5800
HD5870
HD5970

Windows 7 64bit
GPU drivers tested: v13.12; 14.4; 14.6

Do you guys have some config that works on these cards ?

Stats:

There is no progress for old HD5XXX cards.
No X15 mining.
My pc just freezes to white screen, or just become unresponsive.
No matter what i combine, what kernel or config i use.

If someone has experience or knowledge to help me i'be very grateful.



Present speed that i can run Sgminer on algos X11 and X13 is:

X11
HD5850 =1900
HD5870 =1750
HD5970 =1750+1750=3500

X13
HD5850 =1300
HD5870 =1150
HD5970 =1200+1200=2400

Where can we get .cl's with these changes in the meantime?

check my sig
let me know if you find any that wont build or decrease in hashrate

The .cl's in the 'sgminer_v5_0_develop' branch in your sig have the changes? Do I need to use that sgminer, or just the .cl files?

I'm just not getting anything like your guys' hashrates. What sdk are you running, or does sgminer even require that?

Maybe, he is from the future?

Just use badmans develop branch or the nightly build fom platinum4 post.
Did u try my profiles.conf or platinums4?
Can't see what settings ur using.

OK, thanks for your help!
Used badmans develop branch.
Used your profiles.conf except upped "gpu-memclock" : "1500" for x11 and nist5 like in Platinums conf.

Also, I got rid of:
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
in my batch file. Is this necessary any more or not? Seems to make no difference either way.

X11 = 5.67Mh  (started at 5.9 and then settled at that. That is much better than what I had before [5.1])

Edit: Down to 5.48 now. Hmmmm....

Yes, but they come in effect after first run and logoff/reboot or immediately. No need to set them again and again.

Tho, x11/x13/x15 barely use GPU RAM, so prly GPU_MAX_ALLOC is not required at all.
