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

[MaxDZ8]

Of course it's not. I didn't use any of those MaxDZ8 kernels, because I didn't want to modify sgminer itself. This is really child's play, not serious work.

Care to explain?

It's easy to improve the speed of the current X11, x13 and x15 miners since other coders has published their optimized miners:

Those are not optimized, only properly ported to GCN. I haven't had the time to optimize them yet.

can ya include that performace gains for groestl algo coins ( DMD Diamond GRS Groestcoin and so on)  into official sgminer release

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=779598.msg8787378#msg8787378

its basical just a cl mod and it can be required use pregenerated .bin files

more details u can get from pallas

that one is already in my mod (though at the moment it is for diamond only)
if you want the speedup for groestlcoin you will need to copy diamond.cl and rename it groestlcoin.cl

Edit: It seems I never pushed the changes though to github....
Will update when I get off work.

[MaxDZ8]

SGminer itself would have to be modified to use your kernels, which are excellent. The stuff I'm doing is mostly child's play - not really difficult at all.

Oh well, I hope you can take a look anyway because I had to cut a lot of corners in host code!

That groestl actually slowed down X11 a little bit for me until I modified it.

Yes, some modifications are needed in order to work best on x11.

I'm trying to use the deepcoin algo within SGminer 5 and have the auto switch available.  Can anyone shed some light on this?

not quite sure i understand what you want...
the autoswitch is done poolside by making only the most profitable pool accessible
other than that the miner just switches to the first available pool unless you set it for rotate or something like that
if you have to use "no-extranonce" : true, for deepcoin then just put it in the deepcoin pool section so it is only set for that pool

290X doing 7.6MH/s - I should have tried -g 2 earlier! Really hot here, though, so I can't run it like that constantly yet.

If u share it, somebody can run it constantly

@badman
Did u find some tweaks for the hashrates? 20-30% increase is alot what wolf is getting. Maybe other devs.

Just feel sorry for the man to put the source code or a miner himself, after some time, the miner, and so will

Hey "-g 2" is the same as "GPU Thread's 2" Yeah ?

Is there a list of all supported algos with required keernel switches?

Correct, the autoswitch is done poolside by nicehash. However, I have it up on MRR as well, MRR listed first with no pool set, so then it will default down to NiceHash's algo switcher.  My question how can I add it to SGMiner 5, so I can switch to it on a whim, instead of launching a separate miner.  I'll try the "no-extranonce" option.

Right.

EDIT: Got 290s doing 7.1MH/s at 1050/1250 - I know a 290X can crack 8, but I have to wait until it's cooler...

you would be better to show the source code of the people and not your ability to hvastatsya programirovat

on your miner 290 can give more, you just have to pick the best settings

who needs that proof here,
and all those last several pages of bs about optimizations,
ppl want christmas gift, not the proof of it

Of course they do. Who wouldn't want to profit off of someone else's work and leave them nothing? Miners love that shit.

would pay I do not mind

[badman74]

I made, and released, miners that were several times faster than the best public one for XMR. I barely got anything in donations. Making the same mistake twice is called stupidity.

The trouble with selling the miner is that there is no way to protect the kernels from the person who buys it turning right around and giving them away

sgminer_v5 does not include HEFTY1 algo

Of course - which is why I sell it to one large farmer for a high price. His own need to get a return on his investment stops him from sharing it - I can even offer him an exclusive deal, that is, I only sell it once, to him. I've seen what this community does to miners with fees - I'm not getting tricked that way.

Completely right decision.
