Can you recommend a safe place to get a watcher from ?

Sorry, I didn't ever download it ...

Thanks for the quick response ;-)

Anyone using any watcher software out there ?

I am using this for about 2 years now - it does work with sgminer as well

I use http://www.awesomeminer.com/ and I love it.  For the Kachir miner I just create a Rule that whenever the miner drops below 50 degrees C that it restart the miner.  Works every time.  That is just one customizable feature.  Remote control is super.

So what would be the recommended PSU wattage for two Sapphire Radeon HD 7970s? I'm guessing around 750w-860w?

it depends on the cpu but should be enough.

Got 2 390X's running on a system with an I7, 32GB ram with a 750W PSU. No issues

But if i would heavily OC them both, max them out. That would be a different story 

[Feeniks]

yes, but not have

I'm using akbash - https://github.com/xagotrunk/akbash
Also outdated, but works.

Specific, but related: NiceHash Miner is acting as the watcher as well. It will make sure your GPU doesn't go too hot and will restart mining in case sgminer/ccminer is hanged/idling.

750 should be enough, but still...850 and above to be 100%

Supporting opensource doesn't mean all my work must be open. I've spent al lot of time (and I mean thousands of hours) on opensource, supporting linux (since kernel version 0.99), etc.
Oh well I shouldn't need to explain anything!

I can has? Full disclosure: I intend to disassemble it. But I won't make any results public.

Funny question: Wolf0, how old are you?

No reason, just curious
So young, but genious.

Keep the good work man.

Wolf0, how fast do you think your public bins would run if replacing simd with kachur version? Would it be faster than full kachur? If yes, it might be the best kernel for public consumption.

I know it would be if I worked on it some - I tested my Echo implementation vs. Kachur's, mine is faster. I feel kinda let down.

That shows the importance of simd. Now you know where to work ;-)
Thanks for the information, please keep us updated on the progress!
Please tell me if I can be of any help.

[kiffner]

Can some one add scrypt-jane algo to sgminer?

I don't know - I know one thing for certain now, though - Kachur's Blake was about the same speed as mine, his BMW, however, needed a bit of work. Mine improved overall X11 hash by 1.35% (remember that BMW itself is quite a small part of X11, so the raw improvement in my BMW over his is much larger.)

EDIT: search2, originally Groestl-512, did not take to a simple kernel replacement and will have to be investigated further (manual study of the disassembly.) Skipping for now.

EDIT2: search2 may not have been fucked because of a difference in output, but in where the bloody constants are in global. For JH, I'm going to make an all new test kernel which takes a read-only buffer for JH's constants rather than trying to reference constant memory right now. Simpler. I should then be able to put that in place of the Kachur JH and modify SGMiner to pass a constant buffer on that kernel.

Is search2 faster than yours? or is it just simd?
Maybe Kachur has found a way to make AES-like algos better...
BTW I wouldn't mind a frankenbin if it's faster and stable ;-)
