What is the ratio of neo scrypt to OG scrypt hash on average?  Sorry, I've been out of the Forum for a while and seem to have missed a bit.

Nicehash and Trademybit have set their conversion rates for neoscrypt to approximately scrypt / 8
From my personal experience it's more like scrypt / 6

Thanks to ystarnaud the sgminer-develop branch has been updated with badman74's optimizations: https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer/tree/develop. And thanks to elbandi&nicehash you can already download new sgminer-5.1-develop binaries (neoscrypt algo, whirlcoin, diamond v2 and the arebyp scrypt kernel, badman74 optimizations): https://www.nicehash.com/software/#sgminer

Fuckit for no reason this new miner throws HW errors at random; not sure if it's going to wreck my shit or what.

great badman update i hope that the badman update does not throw HW errors on x11

Why did x11 on NH multi just throw back loads of HW errors ??

can anyone else see this ,, I am getting random HW errors with the new miner when i use previous clock settings
Same problem here.

Same problem here.

I had to revert back to the sgminer before the algorithm switching version, badman74's did add 10% to each of my cards however it also wouldn't run more than 1 card for more than 12 hours and after I used badman74's sgminer I had to wipe my USB and reload PiMP to get the former sgminer to work again. I do still use badman74's sgminer mod on my test rig that only has 1 card and it will run 1 card just fine but even just adding 1 more card makes it crash after a handful of hours.

ok my master branch is updated with neoscrypt changes, and new binaries are up
not sure if it will help....
mine is throwing HW errors on diamond, groestlcoin, and scrypt/nscrypt kernels with 14.6
was only doing this with scrypt/nscrypt
on the other hand Xn algos, and neoscrypt seem fine

@badman74
Even with your git, I have HW on neoscrypt...
I don't understand ... It worked with official sgminer v5 some hours ago and then stopped to work... https://nicehash.com/?p=miners&a=8&addr=1NByvJ1TNyJTgCc2VJYDKKWEbqYoe2zE9Q

edit :
Okay, problem found !
It's xintensity fault. It works fine with normal intensity Smiley

hmm if it helps i got the best hash at intensity 13, 2 threads, and worksize 64.
didn't set TC or shaders

Just edited my previous message ^^'

But now I have a confirmed bug (sgminer-v5 an badman74's) :
- If I choose intensitity > 16 (I have tested with 17 and 18) in profiles.conf, neoscrypt mining will start with an intensity of 16.
- If I choose intensity =< 16, neoscrypt mining will start with the chosen intensity.

Don't know what happen upon algo switching yet.

yes i noticed this as well, if you dont set the intensity in the profile or pool config it seems to just keep whatever it was on the last algo
also if you set xintensity or rawintensity anywhere it will never go back to regular intensity

- If I choose intensity =< 16, neoscrypt mining will start with the chosen intensity.

Don't know what happen upon algo switching yet.

It's not exactly a bug, it's how Neoscrypt was setup.

Intensity is only used to calculate the thread-concurrency, which in turn determines how much GPU memory to allocate. Off the top of my head it goes like TC = (1 << intensity), then the miner checks to make sure that allocating 32k of memory for each thread doesn't go over the maximum memory usable by the GPU. If it does, it lowers the intensity by 1 until the resulting TC * 32k fits in memory. I think -g (gpu threads) factors into this also. If you use -g 2, then each gpu thread needs to reduce TC to fit in 1/2 the maximum memory.

For example a standard 7970 with -g 2 will allocate a TC of 32768 (intensity 15). That gives a total of 1GB of ram used per gpu thread (2GB total used). Setting intensity to 16 would give you 65536 TC, so 2GB ram per gpu thread. Unless your GPU has 4GB+ ram, the intensity would automatically fall back down to 15 to fit in memory.

In sgminer, I allow the user's config TC to override the intensity so you can tweak memory allocation that way. As for xintensity and rawintensity, they are currently unused for Neoscrypt.

Same problem here.

Yeah sorry about that. I'm still trying to look into this one. The only thing that I changed was to merge the .cl files from badman74's miner into sgminer5. No reason it should produce HW if it didn't in his build before. It also only seems to happen on X11 for me. X13 and 15 are HW free.

odd because all the Xn algos are fine on my version but i have problems with all the scrypt kernels, groestlcoin and diamond

Might be because your version is actually based on sgminer-master not sgminer-develop? Were there any such changes betwen master/develop that might have an impact on those issues?

I'm guessing NH really really really wants everyone to try Wolf0's "optimizations".
