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

[badman74]

I've compiled sgminer 5.1.1-3-gc50e3 from Badman74 git source.  When I try to run it for Lyra2RE, I'm getting:

[10:52:08] Unable to open lyra2re.cl for reading!

I checked that my kernel path is correct and there are the files Lyra2.cl and Lyra2RE.cl.  So, i renamed Lyra2.cl and Lyra2RE.cl to lyra2.cl and lyra2re.cl respectively.  Seems to be working now.  Just giving a heads up.

I thought that those were aliased already to include lowercase.

I think that is from when i reforked from sgminer-dev, for some reason git does not pay attention to me trying to change case on filenames so i will have to completely delete them and then re-add them to fix it.
Thanks for informing my of that as my local version works fine....

By the way, Qubit doesn't have seperate kernels - I think you said you did that? It's not in the official git master.

The version in sgminer-dev is the one i made my changes to. It was merged some time back. Was just some simple changes that had been added to darkcoin-mod that I went though and added to most of the other old kernels that would benefit from it.

Oh - didn't you say you split them up into darkcoin-mod style multiple kernel executions?

nope sorry that wasn't what i ment

hi,
i use sgminer 5.1 and get only rejected coins after pool switching ! Why that ? How can i change it ?

This is probably irrelevant if you are using Wolf0's bins for x13 but I think for 280X hamsi-expand-big is better on 1 or 4, 7 is for Hawaiis.  Might only matter on x15 since you would actually be generating that bin.

Also, 1501 is a peculiar clock setting for gpu-memclock, any reasoning?

[smokiepot]

yeah, ok i see it, sorry. thanks for it.

hmm, i use 280 without x and wolf x11,13,15 bins for thati.

but i've a new problem.

i get only quark as alive pool.

that happend not only when i try to specify my own profitability factors for each algo. it happend if i try to write "pass" : "x11,x13,x15,quark" also.
look here : http://yaamp.com/site/multialgo

[smokiepot]

u have an example ?

[smokiepot]

u have an example ?

"priority": "0",

on the first pool, 1 on the second, and so on.

hmm, think that is not what i want.

i search the f0=1,f2=5..... from nicehash for the yaamp pool. on the yaamp page is an example for the cgminer.

Code:

-p x11=5.1,neoscrypt=0.5,lyra2=2

so tryed

Code:

"pass" : "x11=1,x13=1.72,x15=2.07,quark=2.5",

i get 5.2mh at x11 and 2.2mh at quark. so 5.2 /2.2 =2.37 + 5 % from diffrend fees = ~2.5 or 250% more for the same payout.

just set each algo as the mh/s you get.

Code:

"pass" : "x11=5.2,x13=3.5,x15=1.2,quark=2.2",

and it should switch normally

[dmatthewstewart]

I have some stupid questions. I havent mined anything in a long time. However, I wanted to fire up a rig to see how it does...

But I have seem to gone full retard. I cant get sgminer to 1) show the mining console once it starts and 2) get valid shares. Right now my invalid shares (using LTCRabbit as a test) are hovering around 90%. Something is very wrong

Both rigs that Im testing are Windows (and I literally know almost nothing about Windows). But here are the specs:

Rig 1# - Windows 8.1

2x R9 290x
Catalyst 13.12
SGMiner v5
and BFGMiner

Rig 2 - Windows 7
2x MSI 7950
SGMiner v5

Is there a breakdown for people like me who dont know how to use Windows to get one of these running? I dont care which one. Just want to get it working properly so I can make adjustments, add cards, etc...you know, all the fun stuff that I [can] handle on Linux without help

Why bother with Windows if you're a Linux guy? Get this: http://www.getpimp.org/

Checking out GetPimp now and re: your last statement...
I know, right? Why bother with Windows? The short story...I built a Windows gaming box and went pretty much all out. While I was doing that I tore down my main computer and scrapped it. Normally I would jsut dual boot with GRUB (on this new Windows machine) but Windows 8.1 seems to be finicky with GRUB. So I am in the process of throwing together another main computer (various distros).

And also, I really wanted to figure this out on Windows. I figured it had to be much easier. Buts its not...not when you arent familiar with the OS

Catalyst 13.12

Nah dude unless you are stilling wanting to mine scrypt, this driver set is going to put you at a disadvantage for other algorithms.

Also I think you need AMD APP SDK 2.9 or 3.0 beta

Thank you.

[YamashitaRen]

im use 15.3     drivers .....       in trable   .....thenk

You have to generate the bin with an old driver.

How much does a ATI 290 (noX) with the newest SGminer and .bin files make on:
X11 ~ 8000 kh/s
X13 ~ ? ? ?  kh/s
X15 ~ ? ? ?  kh/s
Quark ~ ? ? ? kh/s

Thank you

Got some asus 290's here

X11: 8300
X13: 5800
X15: haven't tested in a while but i believe 4500-4800..

Is there an optimized quark gpu miner out there?

[scaggy]

Hi,
after digging around in this topic i cant find a good working quark config
Somebody got a good one for 280x ?

[smokiepot]

Hi,
after digging around in this topic i cant find a good working quark config
Somebody got a good one for 280x ?

I couldn't find one either, but a shot in the dark would be a worksize of 256, xI of 64 or 128, and 2 threads.

existing quark kernel is a bit weird i guess,
for me it works best -I 18 -g 1 -w 256

how much hashrate you get with that ? and what for a hardware you use ?

[smokiepot]

hmm i get only 2.2 at 280 without x.

what settings do you use ?

[smokiepot]

i use 14.9 driver. but if a lower number is better maybe i downgrade it. than can i mine neoscryt also.

[Atomicat]

On a slightly different topic... What's with Blake256???  First off, is there a working SGminer implementation?  I'm having a go at mining Bigcoin and am having minor flashbacks here.  First off, mining fine with CGminer 3.1.1, but can't have the intensity even close to what I'm used to.  Cut the volts on both the 7950 and the 290, showing 70-80W in Aida64, but still too toasty.  Getting hash but not what I'd extrapolate from stats on pools, I'm kinda down in a slot by myself.  Not used to this!  Sucks!
                                                                                     

[smokiepot]

i try now 14.7rc3 and get 3.8 on quark ! - great

[OrientA]

hmm i get only 2.2 at 280 without x.

what settings do you use ?

you see all setting in post above, core/mem clock 1100 both, bin built with 14.7rc3,
no "finetuners" in conf, i can't prove their positive effects

Is it hotter than X11?

[badman74]

Thank you

I think badman74 said he got 6.9MH/s on Quark with a 290.

EDIT: Never mind, was Qubit.

on quark it looks like i get 4.755mh/s on 290 (non x) at 1050/1500, worksize 256, threads 1, xI 64
