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

[tankist0]

I'm trying to build badman74 in Visual Studio C++ 2010. The goal is to have native x64 and x86 versions of sgminer. Following boring instruction, installed (hope so) all the dependencies and now I'm stuck at the final step. Solution won't build showing me error:

Code:

1>..\events.c(45): error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'void *' to 'const char *'
1>          Conversion from 'void*' to pointer to non-'void' requires an explicit cast

Has anyone tried winbuild in Visual Studio? And maybe encountered similar issue? Any help would be appreciated

I can not let sgminer v5 /sgminer-5.0-badman74-mod-win32/! Please for assistance.
Bath file write the following text:

del *.bin
set GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
set GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 2
sgminer.exe -k x11mod -o stratum+tcp://pool.xhash.net:3412 -u xxx -p xxx --shaders 2048 --thread-concurrency 8193 --intensity 18 --worksize 256 -g 4 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-reorder
pause

, but leave me and discarded. Where wrong! 
Thank you.

What exactly do you have in mind!?!?

[tankist0]

Wolf0 thanks  I actually resolved the problem, scrolled to line 45 in events.c and fixed "bad" syntax. Up and running now, although hashrate on my 280x is not even close to your speeds. Good experience, anyways.

not -k x11mod, use --algorithm darkcoin-mod

Hi guys
What is the best/fastest gpu/amd miner software today
And is it profitable to mine x13, x11 etc this day ?

The fastest publicly available X-algo miner for AMD GPUs is most probably badman74's modded sgminer-v5 (get it here https://www.nicehash.com/software/#sgminer) ... some additional optimizations of various CL kernels were done by various individuals, but weren't publicly released. And you can get some decent income if you point it to NiceHash multi-algo service https://www.nicehash.com/multialgo.

I haven't touched the code to SGMiner itself

A single line I changed to this:

Code:

	const char *cmd ="cmdp";

otherwise VS couldn't compile in my case

just the CL files - that's where most of the important stuff is.

It's full of cabalistic math, is any special skill or secret required!?  )) joking

Anybody tried R9 285? The new amd card?

I need help compiling this miner for linux, after ./configure i got error:

OpenCL...............: NOT FOUND. GPU mining support DISABLED

but i have amd drivers (fglrx-14.301.1001) and AMD APP SDK (AMD-APP-SDK-v2.9-1.599.381-GA-linux64) installed:

$ clinfo
Number of platforms:             1
  Platform Profile:             FULL_PROFILE
  Platform Version:             OpenCL 1.2 AMD-APP (1573.4)
  Platform Name:             AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing
  Platform Vendor:             Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
  Platform Extensions:             cl_khr_icd cl_amd_event_callback cl_amd_offline_devices

[Subw]

What includes? And how?

ps i overcome this problem by installing previous APP SDK (2.9), compile completed OK but miner can't compile .cl files now (

[Subw]

Can't remember, smthing about builing binary opencl files (miner starts but can't build *.bin files).
Again i fixed this by rebuilding miner with ADL SDK 6.0 (error was when i first tried with ADL 7.0 headers)

bottom line: miner is not compatible with the latest AMD drivers/SDKs

[Subw]

maybe i messed smthing on my system but why ./configure can't find 2.9.1 APP SDK ?

Does anyone know how to change GPU clockspeed/memory speeds using sgminer 5? Attempting to do so through sgminer or even msi afterburner does nothing to the clockspeeds at all.

I always use --gpu-engine and --gpu-memclock...

I do use that, in both the config and the .bat file-no speed changes at all.

[Hippie Tech]

Has anyone noticed how the queue setting keeps changing itself ?

I've seen this with 5.0/4.22, the Nicehash version and Wolf0's 5.0.

What GPU?

All of them . 2X 280x's and one 7990. They all run at their stock speeds. 14.7 drivers, win 7 64bit.

[Coin-Moron]

Could someone give the config file for X15 with kernel.
R9 280x.

What's this neoscrypt bullshit about?
