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

[rudarSRB]

I'm getting 6230kh/s with the aznboy bin (1050/1350, xI=64) u should try xI=64.

then they also start crashing on me so i just went back to my stable settings

Can you please post your stable settings?

Thanks!

I'm getting 6230kh/s with the aznboy bin (1050/1350, xI=64) u should try xI=64.

i have... while it does give me as much as 6.45 on one of my gpu the other drops to as low as 5.0 and the average drops to around 5.8 per gpu. then they also start crashing on me so i just went back to my stable settings
i can get 6.0 with I 17 but it crashes after a while and locks the whole computer

Wow 6.45! Is it due to the gpu when it crashes or minersettings?

U can check previous post of the 290x settings, we almost use the same settings and it depends on your gpu clocks/voltage..trail en error.

they will run that way for a while but as i said the average between the two is actually worse
i really don't know why they do this... also i have noticed that the WU dint actually go up on the one with higher hash rates....
sometimes the higher WU is actually the one with lower hashes....

1040/1375 at I 16 but that wont necessarily be the same for you. it varies form card to card and especially between card makes
mine are sapphire 290x BF4 edition (had to change the crappy gpu coolers on them)

[platinum4]

bullus, can you isolate the exact customized miner that built that darkcoin-mod bin that gets us 6+ ?

I can't tell if it's 6-25, -28, -39, or -30

Also, I think around that time, only 14.6RC1 was available; I'm convinced that .bin was built with different drivers.

Still copied the aznboy build bin to other miners.

No I'm with you bullus.  Hear me out though.

I have every build of aznboy84's including the very first one where he cloned the 6-25 prerelease off of nicehash and created bitblock.cl

I'm trying to isolate which version of his miners can reproduce the darkcoin-mod .bin UPON CREATION, reliably, and see if we can't track down why, with the matching source.  The problem with his github is he didn't know how to use git until about the 30th, so all of his files are LOCAL UPLOADS with no versioning.

If I'm on 14.7 and do all those mods and still have now dropped to 5.6 - 5.7, then this has to be a combination of build factors AND the drivers that were available at that time.  Since 14.6RC2 came out late during that weekend, I wasn't using it, I was using 14.6RC1; which means there may be a reason why that uploaded .bin of yours ONLY WORKS STABLY on ONE RIG.  If you put that .bin across to other cards like a Tri-X OC 290X, it wrecks them SICK in a matter of 15 minutes, or even worse -> HUNG RIG.

I want to know which version built that badass .bin, and then recreate and build bins for my 2 other rigs that contain Tri-X OC, and one that has mixed Tri-X OC and standard Sapphire 290X.

This latest build from 7-25 is rock fucking stable, but now we're barely coming up with 5.6 across 3 cards, which is a vast improvement from getting 5.4|5.4|5.0 which is why I had opened https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer/issues/347

This can't be some mystery miner; one of us has to have this shit; and it's hard for you to share only your bin when it might not apply to others; I'm lucky in that I have one rig clocking in at 6.1|6.0|5.9 but 2 other rigs hodling only at 5.6|5.6|5.5 (which, is still an improvement)

Yes I've done luffa 1 and keccak unroll 6 and hamsi 7 (irrelevant to x11)

[bullus]

Will upload the whole miner I downloaded it, when I get home.

[Hippie Tech]

Try using 14.4 with the 14.7 opencl files copied to the sgminer folder.

The 14.7's have issues with overvolting/throttling random gpus..

I think you're on Linux right?  Do you have the ability to get the Windows binaries too?

14.4 trick is irrelevant, I completely skipped that driver fiasco and went to 14.6RC1

14.7's have an issue if you use auto-gpu, remove that, and hard code your gpu-engine, not a problem.

I found I can't reliably undervolt, but I never really did that, so didn't give a shit.

EDIT:  Here's the pictures:

sgminer5 from a week or two ago:



aznboy84 build 6-25-prerelease (modded for bitblock; first one available)


He had cloned the source from nicehash then worked on it locally.

Notice how uniformly his miner handles threads across all three cards, versus how sgminer5 drops near 500Kh/s on the curses readout.

i have found the majority of the increase comes from the change i made in groestl.cl on mine, found this in aznboy84's darkcoin-mod.cl
also try xI 30

[bullus]

I think you're on Linux right?  Do you have the ability to get the Windows binaries too?

No I'm using windows..
Strange that I don't get 6230kh/s anymore..I installed cgwatcher this day and after that I only reach 6160kh/s.
Need to check what's wrong..even with the aznboy miner I dont reach 6mh/s.

[platinum4]

i have found the majority of the increase comes from the change i made in groestl.cl on mine, found this in aznboy84's darkcoin-mod.cl
also try xI 30

6|6|6, with last card lagging on curses readout, but increasing up to its potential.  xI: 64 (remember badman, xI: 30 was for nist5 to get 18MH)

Fucking weird.

I thought ystarnaud/slik had knocked the credibility of replacing those 2 loops.  I didn't change darkcoin-mod.cl at all; just replaced in groestl.cl.

Gonna get a morning nap and hope to not wake up to hung rigs.

Much appreciated; still very interested in bullus' specific miner as well.

EDIT:  So much cleaner building them with my specific cards, than applying another pre-built bin which is notorious for crashing my drivers on 2 rigs.

it is strange that undoing an "optimization" gives better hash rate....

eh, I love ystarnaud [and every single bit of his work] but he takes some convincing sometimes... ( remember our 60second quit bug? )

OW- OWWWW- DON'T HIT ME YSTAR YOU KNOW WE'RE GOOD BRO!!

[bullus]

The big difference is that I only use 1 gpu, u both uses 3 or more cards. Is that causing the instability of your rigs?
Maybe try 1 gpu for test with xI=64?

could be i suppose, i use 2 cards and if i try xI 64 one will go up but the other goes way down
on the other hand i get 6.02 on average with xI 30

Could be, is your 1 GPU a Sapphire 290X, red box or BF4 edition?

Asus dcII for the win

xI=30 =6050kh/s
xI=64 =6160kh/s
