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

[bigblind]

I'm using the Version of badman74 signature, sgminer 5.0 mod with an 14.6 RC3 Catalyst on 3 R9 290s.
Can anybody tell me why the Hashrates are "just" at about 15 and only go up sometimes to about 19-20?

Can't explain that to me. I'm using the cards to provide NIST5 hashs for Nicehash.

Here is my config:

{
"pools" : [
   {
      "name" : "nicehas.nist5",
      "url" : "stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3340",
      "user" : "xxxxxx",
      "pass" : "x",
      "pool-priority" : "0",
      "nfactor" : "10",
      "algorithm" : "talkcoin-mod"
   }
],
"api-allow" : "xxxxxx",
"api-listen" : true,
"expiry" : "1",
"failover-only" : true,
"queue" : "0",
"scan-time" : "1",
"gpu-threads" : "2",
"gpu-engine" : "947,947,947",
"gpu-fan" : "70,70,70",
"gpu-memclock" : "1250,1250,1250",
"gpu-powertune" : "20,20,20",
"intensity" : "17",
"temp-target" : "85",
"temp-overheat" : "90",
"temp-cutoff" : "95",
"worksize" : "128",
"lookup-gap" : "2,2,2",
"shaders" : "2560,2560,2560",
"thread-concurrency" : "8192",
"sharethreads" : "32,32,32",
"no-pool-disable" : true,
"tcp-keepalive" : "30"
}

how much should R9290 usually be hitting?

[OmarGsPools]

Is anyone capable of integrating these kenels into SG-Miner v5? These are heavily optimized compared to the current qubit kernel.

https://github.com/MaxDZ8/M8M/tree/master/M8M/kernels

Also if anyone needs a pool for a coin let me know and I can open one up. Just trying to help contribute to the mining community.

Curious is yours working, the most recent build? I just keep getting socket closed even if I run it as Administrator (Failed Send, Socket Reset)

Working but only when connecting to a P2Pool. A bit unfortunate since I run my own pools.

Ah gotcha. I was also connecting to a P2Pool myself, and kept getting that error. I'll check for a later build then since I'm not sure why it's doing it

Can I get more than ~4,5 for r9 290 and ~4,2 for 280x   x11 algo ?

[Zawamiya]

Can I get more than ~4,5 for r9 290 and ~4,2 for 280x   x11 algo ?

Is it possible? Sure, my 280X is currently doing 4.83MH/s on X11.  

EDIT: 4.9MH/s, now.

care to share your config?

try the mod version in my sig and be sure to put this in your config (5.2mh/s on 290, 6.2mh/s on 290x)

"xintensity" : "64",
"worksize": "64",
"hamsi-expand-big" : "7",
"hamsi-short" : true,
"blake-compact" : true,
"keccak-unroll" : "8",
"luffa-parallel" : true,
"gpu-threads" : "2",

I worked off of yours, I'm pretty sure my X11 is in the ballpark of 35.20% faster. X13 around 38.51%, and X15 about 42.87%.

with mine you should get 5.2mh/s on x11 with 290 (stock clocks) and 6.2mh/s on 290x (oc to 1040/1375)

What about 280X?

EDIT: I cloned the develop branch of your repo - is this a joke? 4.55MH/s on X11 on my 290X, tops. It's at 1000/1500.

EDIT2: Though I am liking the xI 64 - getting 6.14MH/s almost on my 290X, 1000/1500.

use the master branch... although it shouldnt be too different
i get 5.8 to 5.9mh/s on my 290x with 1040/1375 and I 16
and 6.18 to 6.2mh/s with xI 64
edit: my mods arent on the develop branch anymore as i started over with the 5.0.0 update

Won't help - I modified the kernels for X11, X13, and X15.

Where can we find your kernels?

All right, I'll give it a shot later. Getting 6.15 with mine on 290X now, at 1000/1500, so still not bad.

Checked out your darkcoin-mod.cl, and didn't see too much of a difference between it and sgminer's dev branch, but I'll try it later. In the meantime, I completely rewrote one hash - now getting 5.5MH/s out of my 280X

that publish it your miner or kernels

Wolf0, wow!
how much hashrate on 290 with your kernel fix?

Don't have a 290, but here, the GPUs are, in order from 0 - 3, a 270X, 290X, 7950, and a 280X. It's nsfw, as always: https://ottrbutt.com/tmp/x11localrigwolf.png

Can your miner

What settings do you use for 270?

get 3Mh/s

"kernel": "darkcoin-mod",

"worksize" : "128",

With xintensity -> 64 slightly less than 102

Please, share your kernel fix

That engine clock is pretty high... I'm running 1165/1500.

Please, share your miner

280X above 5.75MH/s with new settings!

EDIT: Actually, 5.8MH+ sustained with a clock bump.

I really would like to see what you did the the darkcoin kernel to get those hash rates, maybe I could incorporate the speedups in the other kernels as well.
Unfortunately I don't know enough to build the kernels myself without at least something to dissect, even then it doesn't always work for me.

I think He will not share his code to public soon. And He will be right. Because, what he will get from it? I think that will be only higher hashrates and diff in the networks.

true but that doesn't stop me from wanting it....

It's easy to improve the speed of the current X11, x13 and x15 miners since other coders has published their optimized miners:

5 out ot 11 x11 hashfunctions optimized.

on R9 280x I get the best stable results with

-w 64 -I 17 -g 4

gpu clock 1100 and memclock 1500

5800 is good wolf0, but it's not optimal.
