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

[Demontager]

Guys, i have problem with sgminer5 compiled from source. Basically it works, but after sometime it randomly dropping hashing speed from 2.7 Mhs (R 9 270) to 2.1 Mhs. If i just do manual mining restart speed goes up again to 2.7 Mhs.
 I have recent 14.6 Linux Beta drivers installed.
Miner compiled as follows:

Code:

git clone -b v5_0 https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer.git
cd sgminer
git submodule init
git submodule update
autoreconf -i
CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native" ./configure
make

@badman74, do you have a directory with source from 06-25?

my only guess is that you may be crashing the gpu drivers and have them continue hashing at a lower clock
try lowering your clocks just a little and see if it helps at all

@badman74, can you take a look at this issue?

https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer/issues/347

I want to know if you're experiencing the same on your Hawaiis.

There's something fundamentally different from 06-25 and current builds; I cannot track it down by myself however.

don't know what the problem is for you but i am getting 5.7mh/s  on the non throttled gpu and 5.45mh/s on the high temp one

Has anyone found a solution for the full machine lockup?

I searched through this thread and found a few people also running into this, but without resolution.

I'm assuming it has to do with a GPU going sick and bringing down the whole shabang.

My mine is headless, so it's hard to tell what happened other than after about 24 hours it sometimes becomes unresponsive and requires a power cycle. :-/

hard to say without knowing more about your setup but generally it has to do with setting TC or clocks too high

[mannyg]

I cant stress enough how important it is to curb your GPU clocks to keep the switching working right.  If you are pushing one algo too hard and a switch comes along, chances are the card will go SICK and DEAD after the driver crashes.

I'm not getting any GPUs recognized (Win7 x64 w/ 14.6 drivers) as mentioned here.

Code:

clDevicesNum returned error, no GPUs usable

Wondering if anyone else had encountered this problem?

Double check for your on-board video and disable it if it is enabled.

have you tried --gpu-platform 1 in the .bat file or "gpu-platform" : "1", in your .conf

This will solve it. See? I knew someone else had the same issue that I did. This just appeared in SGMiner 5.

Did they change the default? I believe it used to default to "1". If the above doesn't work, do --gpu-platform 0

On my 50 rigs, I had to have a mixture.. Some worked by default, others had an error unless I specified. I submitted a bug report in Github, but I guess it was thought that this would fix the "new" issue, which it does, but it doesn't explain why the behavior changed between 4.1 and 5.

it has something to do with sgminer 5 not working with the onboard video (gpu-platform 0 if it there)

Is there a log file that I can look through to see what is causing an issue?

I added a restart crontab as a hacky fix for now. Unsure if it will work.

hmm have you tried all the different algo's individually to make sure they all work?
i know TC for nscrypt is about half of what it is for scrypt
also if you recently updated to 14.6 drivers TC will need to be reevaluated
other than that, your cards seem to be able to run way higher mem clocks than any of mine (sapphire 290x BF4 edition, and gigabyte 290 windforce) mine crash if i go above 1400 for any length of time

Is there a log file that I can look through to see what is causing an issue?

I added a restart crontab as a hacky fix for now. Unsure if it will work.

I just added the scrypt-n today, so I know it didn't cause the locks in the past few days. Going to remove scrypt-n for now just to keep things simple.

In sitting here at work, I have watched it switch back and forth multiple times without issue.

Do these things kinda pop up randomly? Work great with no HW errors or rejects and then boom dead?

I appreciate your help!

in my experience when you have a miner that runs fine for a while then suddenly goes sick the clocks are set just a tad too high
my 290's will  run fine at 1100/1400 for a while then at some random time 1 or both will go sick on me
i solved that by setting them at 1075/1350 and no more problems
granted i lost the extra 200kh/s i was getting per card but that does't help if they crash all the time
and yes they will be hashing perfect and just suddenly go sick

[mannyg]

Ive spent weeks fine tuning and finding the happy engine clock for the GPUs, heres what I'm running without any random SICK or DEAD ones popping up.

All GPUs are MSI Gaming. gpu-engine/gpu-memclock

280x:
X11 -- 1130/1500
X13 -- 1120/1500
X15 -- 1130/1500
NIST5 -- 1125/1500

290:
X11 --1040/1250
X13 -- 1030/1250
X15 -- 1020/1250
NIST5 -- 1050/1250


The 290 is notoriously tough to overclock without it just totally crapping out the driver.  The above settings have maintained a miner stable for well over a period of days on the same algorithm.

Any ideas what might cause this URL error when launching sgminer5?

Those ports may be closed if nist5 is the most profitable, which it has been for the last day or two.

All you have are profitability ports, with no fixed port as a failover.
