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

[Foss]

in sgminer v5 doesn't work nscrypt 

Code:

sgminer.exe --algorithm nscrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3335 -u ...... -p d=128 -I 19 -w 256 -g 1 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 19712,12800 -s 1 --queue 0 --expiry 10 --gpu-engine 1100,1160 --gpu-memclock 1400,1500 --gpu-powertune 20 --gpu-fan 72,48

have: " Rejected ....share above target "  on 4.2.1 version it's OK  What is wrong with sgminer v5?

use
"algorithm" : "alexkarnew",
"nfactor" : "11"
or whatever scrypt kernel you want instead of alexkarnew

Thank you

Do git clone --recursive https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer.git to get sgminer instead of downloading it the way you are, or use git submodule init and git submodule update before configuring

still not working

still shows you dont have jasson... in mingw shell, goto your sgminer dir and enter git submodule update --init and see if it downloads it if not then there is a problem with git
i have to open a git shell separately (not the one i use for mingw) then use git submodule update --init, then go back to mingw and do the rest from autoreconf -fvi on

Thanks,

I got jansson installed now. Do version numbers matter here? i did the submodule update on sgminer folder, but now it doesn't find OpenCL after configure.

Gonna try to redo it.

not really... for some reason i cant get my fork of sgminer to show 5.0.0
only way i could do it as far as i have found would be to delete my repo and refork it then add my changes back

Duuuuuude. I know you probably brain farted here... but *facepaw*

Try grepping master of the official sgminer git for the version message. Do the same with with yours. Copy. Paste.

ehhh what's grepping?
the extent of my actual programming knowledge is computer basic learned about 25 years ago
i did add 5.0.0 tags and release to my fork but it didn't help
still a newbie at github controls

Hello everyone,

I have 270x and 280x.

What hash rates can I expect on x11, x13, x15 and nist5 from these cards.
What config should I use to get the best hash. Which version of sgminer 5 and ati drivers version.

Thank you very much for the help.

My miner whilst connected to NH auto said "connection reset by peer",  does that mean it was my end of NH end that causes the disconnection
Cheers

I cloned your master, compiled it, dumped the version, then searched for it. Only the object file and binary file matched, meaning that the version is not in the source - it's from git. You could always use --disable-git-version - I'm pretty sure that'll do it.

I knew that but it annoys me that the git version isn't showing 5.0.0 like it should

When compiling SGminer 5 in cygwin, I can start sgminer but doesn't detect temps etc. I followed the guide to a tea, putting the ADL_SDK in the correct place. I tried both versions of ADL_SDK, with no luck. I've done this fine in Linux, can anyone else get it working in cygwin?

Your mom is good with my code.

Ha, seriously? Are you 12 years old or something??

Ha Ha Ha thats' exactly what i thought, I took platinum4 as kind of middle aged well educated but i am obviously very wrong.

Installing now, will report.

EDIT: My 270X went from 3.58 to 3.62 - hardly seems like a change at all.

...

How you do this?

You did not read everthing !!!

EDIT4: Confirmed with two people on IRC - stock SG5 kernel takes a substantial hit on at least R9 270 and 7950 with 14.9.

[pyds1977]

    one guy got
 above 5.7MH/s stable with my 280X on X11, using a kernel I heavily modified.
290X is getting 6.5MH/s at (almost) stock clocks, that is, 1000/1500.
7950 pulling around 4.87MH/s at 1120/1500.
And 270X getting 3.53MH/s at 1150/1500.

who knows to get it?

[pyds1977]

Can also confirm lost 2 MH/s total mining X11 combined with my 3x R9 270s and my 1x R9 280X on 14.9 drivers

All right, then I'm sure I fucked up my test somehow.

Did you delete the old .bin's from whatever drivers you had before, and had new ones generated for 14.9 drivers?

Of course I did. I'm gonna re-do the test now, though. 14.6 vs. 14.9 on both my X11 kernels.

Ooookay... this is odd. The hashrate changed - so it seems the driver did as well. Further, I fetched the date on fglrx each time before starting (14.6 being May 29 2014 and 14.9 being Sept 2 2014) so it DID change. As for the bin files, yes, I removed them; I double-checked. Anyway, Savage, this is what I've got, columns are GPU/clocks/mine/stock, rows are obviously GPUs.

Code:

Running driver version 14.6:
270X - 1155/1500 - 3.64 - 2.80
290X - 1045/1600 - 7.96 - 4.86
7950 - 1155/1500 - 5.03 - 4.01
280X - 1155/1500 - 5.77 - 4.54


Running driver version 14.9:
270X - 1155/1500 - 3.64 - 2.80
290X - 1045/1600 - 7.98 - 4.95
7950 - 1155/1500 - 5.03 - 4.05
280X - 1155/1500 - 5.75 - 4.60

Can you tell me how to get this hashrate? I can't compile the code, so , sad,ad,

[alexzerg11]

Has anyone tried the new 14.9 drivers? I have and seem to take a hit with my 270x on x11.... from 2.9-3.1 to 2.6 ouch.

I am Third hashrate low from 3.1 to 2.56 on R9 270X on 14.9

me too: 270x - 2.93mh (with driver 14.7) ==> ~2.45Mh (with driver 14.9).

And sgminer_v5_0_mod (modded for extra hashs) up speed only ~2% on x11 do 3.02Mh

[taaku]

can anyone please provide link for latest x11 miner with good speed for r9 280x

Not me.  Would love to know.

Wolf0,

You have beneficiate from other's work and experiments.
Now that you made some good advances please share your work.
We all anonimous miners will appreciate your generosity and sharing.

Thanks

[Eliovp]

This argument again. You benefit from using a car; I demand you pay Henry Ford's children. There's nothing wrong with not reinventing the wheel.

Haha...

Anyway..

Technically Karl Benz invented the 'first' car... 

[pallas]

all that stuff about advanced code is fishermen's talk,
what beats me why so drastic fall of performance with 14.9
on badman's mod with public kernels

Probably AMD changed something small in the compiler - not sure if the one doing AMD IL -> ISA is on the card or not, but if it's the driver (and I think it is) even a small change could make that mess slow to a crawl.

yep, but what...
even scrypt is damn slow, 450 vs 650 with same gpu settings,
pallas groestl is 7.5 after 17.5 with 14.7, great

I've tried tweaking it for 14.9 and I was able to improve it a bit but far from 14.6/14.7 speed.

[mvma]

Wolf0,

Why don't you consider sell your kernel to 200 peoples (?? other number) at same time.
I mean, you set a price and when all buyers have payed, they will receive the kernel at same time - send a mail with a link.

Just an idea for you to make some money and the community can take advantage of your work - maybe someone make other improvements. (sorry my poor english )

[go6ooo1212]

Wolf0, you could set your kernels mining with some constant percent for you. This would guarantee you profit from those who are using your work. Just an idea...
