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

[Elun]

I can't even get this to start on windows7 x64. Starts..then closes no errors..no nothing. And trust me I have run A LOT of different cg/sgminer variations with countless kernels at this point without any problem.

After this commit: github commit opencl platfrom selecting logic changed. Try to set "gpu-platform" : "1" in conf file. You can use this exe: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fjtmzlq3o623mql/vectorAddition_exe.zip  (virustotal) for check list of your platforms and devices. It's trimmed version of my opencl program for experiments. Sources, you can compile them by yourself, if don't trust me.
You may need vc++ 2010 redistributable to run it: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555

Anyone else got any info on the Dead Multi-Algo pools?

cant get connected to any of them.


Nevermind, they came back up.

although using the zuikkis kernel gives me HW error on scrypt, switched to ckolivas, no HW errors yet but lower KHs.

[guzzzi]

Is there an Problem with the NScrypt Multi-Algo Pool? When my Rig switch to another Algo (Picture to X13) they all go "Off".

Hello,
I still cant make Scrypt-N working on 7870 (R270x) @moded BAMT 1.2, sgminer 5.0 (from NiceHash)
Other algor. are working (scrypt, x11, x13, keccak).


Im trying TC 8192 or 125168
engine 1020, memory 1250
and also few other modifications.

Ive tried also xIntensity 1.
I thing that gpu-threads are not making any evect. Im seeng "g2" at .bin build even if set to g=1.

[10:48:06] Error -4: Enqueueing kernel onto command queue. (clEnqueueNDRangeKernel)

This is usually out-of-memory issue. Try lowering TC to 4096.

Will do thanks.
Btw, Ive remove TC param from root config and let just G=1 at pool.scrypt.n part which helped.
It seems that unique TC per pool was ignored if global G was set. (tested on sgminer-5.0-pre-release-2014-06-06_01-linux-i386.zip)

[cgladue]

Today's fresh builds with many bugfixes available for download: https://www.nicehash.com/software/#sgminer

when i downloaded the win32 build and extracted/ran it there was no "kernel" folder and sgminer refused to start.  i had to move all the .cl files to a folder named kernel manually before it would run, just a heads up

[mannyg]

Just woke up to find my 290 rig stopped for about 6 hours doing nothing, and my 280x rig running at a really low hashrate getting high rejects.  the only champ miner I have running that wont quit is my home PC with the 260x.

[KiloWatts]

For whatever reason, my NScrypt is hashing super low.  I've set intensity to 20, but it shows up as 7 in sgminer.  xintensity does nothing.   (on the newest build, 6/11)

[KiloWatts]

Yeah, it seems "pool-intensity" or "pool-xintensity" doesn't do anything in the 6/11 version...

[jonjakejingle]

Arrrg. If I don't put an "algorithm" variable in the main body of the config (outside of the pool config), then it tries to use the "ckolivas.cl" kernel and I get "Error -4: Enqueueing kernel onto command queue" and all the gpu's turn to OFF status.

If I DO add "algorithm" : "marucoin-mod" to the main body of the config (as I have below), then it boots up fine but when I switch pools the kernel does not change from x13 to x11 and all my shares get rejected.

What am I doing wrong here?

Code:

{
	"pools"	: [{
		"name"	: "x13",
		"url"	: "stratum+tcp://east02.us.trademybit.com:5550",
		"user"	: "x.x",
		"pass"	: "x.x",

		"pool-algorithm"	: "marucoin-mod",
	},
	{
		"name"	: "x11",
		"url"	: "stratum+tcp://east02.us.trademybit.com:4440",
		"user"	: "x.x",
		"pass"	: "x.x",

		"pool-algorithm"	: "darkcoin-mod",
	}],

	"algorithm"		: "marucoin-mod",

	"api-listen"	: true,
	"api-network"	: true,
	"api-allow"		: "W:192.168.1.0/24",

	"lookup-gap"	: "2",
	"gpu-powertune"	: "20",
	"worksize"		: "256",

	"temp-overheat"	: "90",
	"temp-cutoff"	: "94",

	"log": "5",

	"gpu-fan"				: "70",
	"gpu-engine"			: "1070",
	"gpu-memclock"			: "1250",
	"intensity"				: "19",
	"gpu-memdiff"			: "0",
	"gpu-threads"			: "1",
	"thread-concurrency"	: "24000"
}

I'm using "switchpool|1" by the way and switching from sgminer API.

[bullus]

Delete the comma after marucoin-mod and darkcoin-mod.

"pool-algorithm"   : "marucoin-mod"  <===

[jonjakejingle]

Thank you, but even after doing that it doesn't work. Here's the updated config:

Code:

{
	"pools"	: [{
		"name"	: "x13",
		"url"	: "stratum+tcp://east02.us.trademybit.com:5550",
		"user"	: "x.x",
		"pass"	: "x.x!",
		"pool-priority" 	: "0",
		"pool-algorithm"	: "marucoin-mod"
	},
	{
		"name"	: "x11",
		"url"	: "stratum+tcp://east02.us.trademybit.com:4440",
		"user"	: "x.x",
		"pass"	: "x.x!",
		"pool-priority" 	: "1",
		"pool-algorithm"	: "darkcoin-mod"
	}],

	
	"api-listen"	: true,
	"api-network"	: true,
	"api-allow"		: "W:192.168.1.0/24",

	"lookup-gap"	: "2",
	"gpu-powertune"	: "20",
	"worksize"		: "256",

	"temp-overheat"	: "90",
	"temp-cutoff"	: "94",

	"log": "5",

	"gpu-fan"				: "70",
	"gpu-engine"			: "1070",
	"gpu-memclock"			: "1250",
	"intensity"				: "19",
	"gpu-memdiff"			: "0",
	"gpu-threads"			: "1",
	"thread-concurrency"	: "24000"
}

And the output shows as: http://www.otleylogic.com/screenshots/Screen%20Shot%202014-06-11%20at%2011.29.01%20AM-vmSKjpFOyo.png

[billotronic]

Just found this thread today and holy shit what a sexy project! I cannot wait to give this a whirl tonight.

[bullus]

Delete the setting "algorithm" outside the pools and change pool-algorithm to algorithm.

Edit
I don't know if pool-priority works with switching , so try to delete.

[jonjakejingle]

Done, with the same result. Here's the updated config:

Code:

{
	"pools"	: [{
		"name"	: "x13",
		"url"	: "stratum+tcp://east02.us.trademybit.com:5550",
		"user"	: "x.x",
		"pass"	: "x.x!",
		"algorithm"	: "marucoin-mod"
	},
	{
		"name"	: "x11",
		"url"	: "stratum+tcp://east02.us.trademybit.com:4440",
		"user"	: "x.x",
		"pass"	: "x.x!",
		"algorithm"	: "darkcoin-mod"
	}],

	
	
	"api-listen"	: true,
	"api-network"	: true,
	"api-allow"		: "W:192.168.1.0/24",

	"lookup-gap"	: "2",
	"gpu-powertune"	: "20",
	"worksize"		: "256",

	"temp-overheat"	: "90",
	"temp-cutoff"	: "94",

	"log": "5",

	"gpu-fan"				: "70",
	"gpu-engine"			: "1070",
	"gpu-memclock"			: "1250",
	"intensity"				: "19",
	"gpu-memdiff"			: "0",
	"gpu-threads"			: "1",
	"thread-concurrency"	: "24000"
}

And here's another view of the output (using -T to see difft output):
http://www.otleylogic.com/screenshots/Screen%20Shot%202014-06-11%20at%2011.35.54%20AM-bCcUVfKSax.png

I'm appreciating your help sofar.

EDIT: Same results after removing "pool-priority".

[bullus]

Close cgwatcher...and run it without it.

[jonjakejingle]

By george, that was it!

I wonder why CGWatcher is causing that ruckus with it? Thank you, I'll keep tinkering with it to try to make it work with CG Watcher, I do like some of it's features.

EDIT: I see why. Cgwatcher removes the "pool-algorithm" argument when it recreates the temp.conf file (I don't know why it even does this..). This is the output it produces:

Code:

{
"pools" : [
	{
		"name" : "x13",
		"url" : "stratum+tcp://east02.us.trademybit.com:5550",
		"user" : "x.x",
		"pass" : "x.x!",
		"pool-priority" : "0"
	},
	{
		"name" : "x11",
		"url" : "stratum+tcp://east02.us.trademybit.com:4440",
		"user" : "x.x",
		"pass" : "x.x!",
		"pool-priority" : "1"
	}
],
"api-allow" : "W:127.0.0.1,W:192.168.1.0/24",
"api-listen" : true,
"api-network" : true,
"log" : "5",
"gpu-threads" : "1",
"gpu-engine" : "1070",
"gpu-fan" : "70",
"gpu-memclock" : "1250",
"gpu-memdiff" : "0",
"gpu-powertune" : "20",
"intensity" : "19",
"temp-overheat" : "90",
"temp-cutoff" : "94",
"worksize" : "256",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
"thread-concurrency" : "24000"
}

[bullus]

U should open an issue at github about it, don't know if there already is an issue about it.
No problem mate.
