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

[semajjames]

Wolf0, if I were to drop the driver down to 13.12 wouldn't most other algos suffer? I thought X13 and X11 do much better on newer drivers?

yes they would suffer this is what makes scrypt-N   pointless  with auto switch

it best just switched off with the password

[damm315er]

By the way, I want to say thanks to Slix (ystarnaud) for adding the kernelfile option I suggested. Now I can develop without polluting the source tree - just setting kernelfile to "wolf-x13" or whatever it is per profile, then setting kernel-path to the new folder. 

Is that going to be applied to a binary soon? 

[semajjames]

The kernelfile option? It's in Nicehash's build, probably.

is that a new Nicehash build to deal with the R9 290x bottle neck ?

[semajjames]

where do i read about how to make an API code to make sgminer  switch pool's

trying to compile sgminer5, on windows, mingw I end up with a no rule to make target with jansson...
Am I missing something ? (the readme file just send to the old windows build doc)

I have run into the same issue trying to compile for myself.

need to add jansson files to jansson... (not cool for those not using github or building from windows...) considering I must have it already in several other directories and you only need mostly a couple of files  


edit: working now

suggestion to the main author: could you remove the "scrypt" default kernel when it goes when a wrong kernel is given and just let it exit peacefully (rather than crash the whole computer   )

Sorry for dumb question - is sgminer has no possibility to assign different pools and algos to the different card in a rig?

[aikklond]

sorry about the noobish question but what is the command to make sgminer to use an existing .bin file...

[pallas]

sorry about the noobish question but what is the command to make sgminer to use an existing .bin file...

just overwrite the existing one.
since  the file name is created using the card settings, instead of guessing them, just overwrite it ;-)
if you have many bin files: close the miner, remove *.bin, run the miner, close it, overwrite the bin file, rerun the miner.

you mean to rename the .bin file i downloaded and give it the name of my bin file with my settings?

then when i run the .bat file wont it override the .bin config with the instructions that are in the .bat file?

YES, that's what I told you in the other thread. Generate a bin using worksize 64, then rename my bin to the same thing sgminer generated, and replace the SGMiner generated bin with mine.

Thanks, figured it out!

Can I setup scrypt-jane on this sgminer? Where I can find howto?

Which vga type

hi y'all, i installed pimp amd 13.12 on a used usb stick, whenever i run it, it will firstly only detect  4 of 5 gpu's and secondly give the message "unable to enumerate usb device on port .. "  (5 or 6 depending on where i stick it) every half second. Is it the usb stick or is it something else?

What is wrong when I get only message "Segmentation fault" when trying to run sgminer? I succeeded to get over all the problems in compilation but the finished program won't even start. I've tried several versions such as 4.1.0, 4.2.2 and 5.0.1.

I have two Radeon HD 5970 cards and I'm using Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon with Catalyst 14.9 and AMD APP SDK v2.5. I did the compilation using commands:

Code:

autoreconf -i
CFLAGS="-02 -Wall -march=native" sudo ./configure --enable-opencl --disable-adl
sudo make

which gave me a report:

Code:

Configuration Options Summary:

  Use git version......: no
  libcurl(GBT+getwork).: Enabled: -lcurl  
  curses.TUI...........: FOUND: -lncurses
  OpenCL...............: FOUND. GPU mining support enabled
  ADL..................: Detection overrided. GPU monitoring support DISABLED

  CPPFLAGS.............:

  LDFLAGS..............:  -lpthread

Installation...........: make install (as root if needed, with 'su' or 'sudo')
  prefix...............: /usr/local

I'm trying to mine Diamondcoin and used to do that in Windows using sgminer_diamond_v4.1.0 but I haven't found any source for that.

[semajjames]

does anyone what would cause this it comes up in the miner log when the miner just shuts down and restarts for no apparent  reason to me

[04/12/2014 02:08:00]  SGMiner (760): Process closed.

have you tried

Code:

git clone --recursive git://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer.git 
cd sgminer
autoreconf -if
CFLAGS="-02 -Wall -march=native" ./configure --enable-opencl --disable-adl
make

I see many of you guys struggling with manual sgminer compilation/building ... if you're just looking for latest windows/linux builds you can always take a look here: https://www.nicehash.com/download/nightly/ ... whenever a change will be made to sgminer/master or sgminer/devel, a new build will be available to download (thanks to elbandi for the automatic build system).

sgminer-5.0-daily-xxx are from master branch (aka production)
sgminer-dev-daily-xxx are from the devel branch

I tried that with no success. Something must be going wrong during the building despite that the code goes through the compiler with no errors.

I copied those kernels into sgminer/kernel but that didn't change anything. It seems that the problem is in sgminer itself. Why don't those Linux builds include anything but just kernel files? There are also many other files that is needed for mining.
