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

[JuanHungLo]

What is the state of qubit?
Surprisingly, while the above mentioned version of sgminer does not hash correctly, sgminer 5 does work for me! No idea what's going on, have they been updated?

No clue, but it's possible. Check the git history on SGMiner 5.

The last tweaking of the qubit kernel was when I added some changes for the newer drivers some time back as far as I know.

Do you recall hashrates?

I'll interject, 5.41 Mh/s per 280x with 1100/1500 worksize 256 I 20

Hey Wolf0, can we please get a new build of your sgminer? 

For those who don't know, Wolf0's builds are statically linked meaning there are no dll's to mess around with. 

I bet if others show an interest he'll make one for us.

Any fork you want, or just the main SGMiner git?

x11 and Lyra2RE   win7x64

Just the main git I suppose.  That's where most of the commits are right?  I'm just interested in the coins nicehash and yaamp cover right now. X coins, neoscrypt, qubit, etc...    I wouldn't know if any other forks provide a speed boost or more stability, I've just liked your builds in the past, whatever you based those off.

Can sgminer 5.1 somehow run with AMD 13.4 drivers?
It gives me "Error -5:..." message.
Sgminer 4.1 works well.
I have tryed to copy amd_opencl64.dll and amd_opencl32.dll (from newer driver) to sgminer directory, nothing changed.

[d0om]

Why not use most recent drivers? They improved hashrate by a lot over the last year.

Speaking of which, I changed some settings that did not work so well, and when I tried to reverse them while also lowering clock speed by 200, I started getting 5-7 mhash instead of 4+. msi 7870 hawk. I also reduced my latency to the pool by about 60ms, if that even matters.

Did i break it?

[Unclegogi]

Why not use most recent drivers?

I need driver not higher than 13.4 for some other task.
So the question is - Can sgminer 5.1 somehow run with AMD 13.4 drivers?

You may copy the amdopcl***.dlls from the new drivers into your miner folder.

Can confirm. GRS-MYR went from ~1500 to 3000 khs if memory serves, but maybe that was just me.

Worth a try I'd say.

Thanks, some changes, but sgminer doesn't work.
With amdocl.dll and amdocl64.dll from 13.4 drivers sgminer starts, generates 'bin' file, but then gives "Error -5:..." message: http://s10.postimg.org/qpjrsii91/image.jpg
With amdocl.dll and amdocl64.dll from 14.4, 14.9 or 14.12 drivers sgminer crashes at start: http://s15.postimg.org/n8h9zvldj/image.jpg

My base driver is 14.4. The new driver >14.4 works. Maybe there is fundamental difference between 13.4 and >14.4 drivers.

For those interested in selling hashing power on NiceHash/WestHash: WhirpoolX algorithm has been added

You can download sgminer with whirpoolx support here:

https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=software#whirpoolx

MULTIALGO note:
WhirpoolX is disabled on multilago by default (because currently you have to use a special sgminer fork and the transition will probably take a while). But nevertheless if you want to use multialgo you can still use it by manually adding WhirpoolX factor to your pool's password setting, for example:

"pass" : "f0=0;f2=0;f3=8.5;f4=4.5;f5=500;f6=3.5;f7=14;f8=0.35;f9=1.25;f10=135",

(as always, remember to add this to ALL your NiceHash/WestHash pools entries, not only for the new WhirpoolX entry).

p.s: we haven't tested sgminer-whirpoolx fork with other algorithms

Thanks, will be cool when whirlpoolx is integrated into sgminer with multialgo support. Edit: Looks like the whirlpoolx sgminer has all the kernels. 

I noticed on the nicehash download page you have Wolf0's optimized bins, did he release his x15 bin?  I must have missed that.  

Which branch of https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer/tree/develop  has the latest commits, Master or Develop?  Master says the latest one was on Jan 13 by Troky and Develop shows Nov 12 by ystarnaud?

Might want to add something to this effect to your FAQ/main site. I was looking for exactly this.

Set up my miners to mine Whirlcoin. Working great i must say.

Getting around 130Mh/s on my 280x's and just over 100Mh/s on my 290's..
Although that this isn't very optimal yet, cards are freezing, i had to lower the fans to keep them hot..
So in other words, these can go at least double as fast..

Edit: Getting 150M/s on my 280's now and also 150 on my 290's



Oh yeah,
I can switch between algo's just fine.

I used Wolf his 64bit linux version (source).

Hi Wolf0 what about:

Any fork you want, or just the main SGMiner git?

? and please include the whirlpoolx algorithm

[Zuikkis]

Does anyone have sgminer version that has both Whirlpool and Lyra?

At least the sources available in Nicehash page has only Whirlpool..

Edit: Huooh, it's worse than that, this version of sgminer seems to have whirlpoolx only.. Really guys.

Well, the bright side is that all other algorithms seem to improve on profitability now that anyone interested in Whirlpoolx can't mine anything else.

[Zuikkis]

How do  you switch? Here it uses whirlpoolx kernel for all algos..
