@badman74 which branch in your github repo should I be compiling to get your latest performance mods?

Develop branch but currently x15 is broken.... to fix it get whirlpool.cl from an older version or from the official repo this should fix everything but whirlcoin

one of my 290 trix oc (%80.5 asics) is not even stable @1020 core where others stable @1075/1400 (%78-%79)core using badmans config for 290s.Should i rma this card?

TRI-X BIOS's are pretty picky; I have 3x TRI-X OC 290X and they only run the best at stock OC 1040/1300 they can go higher but get constantly SICK

do you think my sick card is ok?

I found that my mem clock was more finicky than my engine clock... try lowering your mem clock and see if that helps

i tried 1050/1300 -1040/1300 still same should i lower the mem more?

Hmm odd... It sounds like that card might be undervolted
Was it a new card?
Maybe check to make sure it is running at the same volt as the other cards with MSI afterburner

i think vddc is the card voltage.As i checked from gpuz : %78 asics max 1.164 ,%79 gets max 1.141 and %80 max 1.117 all 1000 core and 1300 mem

not quite sure what you mean by %80 asics but maybe try using afrerburner to increase vddc by +25

[ozzy1926]

%80 is the asic quality of the chip given by gpu-z anyways i will stick with stock voltages and 1020 core .I lost the silicon lottery on this

Actually all of us GPU miners pretty much got fucked.

Badman, just got your release working properly over here.. got a nice stable 4700+- on X11 with my 280x's .. thank you for that!

My 290's on the other hand stayed the same tough..

Again, thank you for your work! Greatly appreciated!

Could you upload your *.bin file for 280x? Would be grateful

Badman, what was the last modified date of yours?

[WBF1]

@badman74 which branch in your github repo should I be compiling to get your latest performance mods?

Develop branch but currently x15 is broken.... to fix it get whirlpool.cl from an older version or from the official repo this should fix everything but whirlcoin

So if I replace whirlpool.cl everything works except whirlcoin?

I believe so as only whirl coin and x15 use whirlpool.cl (I didn't realize x15 used it before I added whirlcoin so I made some changes to get whirlcoin to work for me)
I will try to get it updated this weekend

OK so I guess what I'm wondering is if X15 is broken on your current dev branch even after replacing whirlpool.cl? I'm guessing not?

[WBF1]

OK I tried compiling after cloning this:

https://github.com/badman74/sgminer/tree/develop

but replacing kernel/whirlpool.cl with the one here:

https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer/blob/develop/kernel/whirlpool.cl

but when I run sgminer I get a segfault before it even tries to build the .bin files.

Also tried running with only -n and it was fine.

Did I pull from all the right places and replace the right files?

they are fixed now on my develop branch and mod binary

i tried to build the whirlcoin.cl properly but never could get it to play nice with whirlpool.cl so i ended up just copying uraymeiviar's version (whirlpool stuff built in)

edit: i just noticed my develop branch is available in pimp though minermenu

edit2: found several more errors i introduced in some other old algo's.... (still learning here) if you find an algo that will not work just drop the same one from sgminer-dev repo in the kernel folder and it should work
this should only be a problem with older algo's as i tested x11, x13, x15, nist5, keccak, myriadcoin-groestl, quark, and qubit
looks like grestlcoin and sifcoin for sure are currently broke, will work on them tomorrow

[WBF1]

Still segfaulting on start.

If it helps, I am on ubuntu 14.04 64-bit.

[WBF1]

OK I got it running. What I had to do was cherry pick 3 commits to bring develop branch up to even with v5_0 branch. I was having the same segfault with the sgminer-dev/sgminer:develop as with your badman74/sgminer:develop branch.

The commits I cherry picked were:

82b5320 - https://github.com/badman74/sgminer/commit/82b5320f36913f3c330633021a4800ce89c4ccc2#diff-d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e

dbe0263 - https://github.com/badman74/sgminer/commit/dbe0263c2d9d12d2595d2aece69d1d1d5d22ed5e#diff-d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e

3ddffaa - https://github.com/badman74/sgminer/commit/3ddffaa915add904d0bfedd25b2b5383cff9035f#diff-d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e

I don't really know how to merge those commits back over into the develop branches of your repo or the sgminer-dev repo on github and I don't want to mess anything up so if you can check that out, let me know.

So far, without any additional config changes over my v5_0 binaries I am seeing 2-4% increase in hash rates.

Would you mind summarizing the new config options I should be trying out? and which values you think are best? (my cards are 7950s and R9 270 non-x)

ok those commits are merged to my develop branch
also fixed sifcoin and groestlcoin
i think that was all of the ones i broke....

Code:

"hamsi-expand-big" : "7", 
"hamsi-short" : true,
"blake-compact" : true,
"keccak-unroll" : "8",
"luffa-parallel" : true,

are the speedups for 290(x) my older cards need all of them set to false or 0
each combination should build a different bin if it will make a change so just try different things

Do I set in the main settings? or in the pool? or profile? or ...?
