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

[jch9678]

I haven't really messed around with it that much but it was about 310 kh/s with a reference 290x. Intensity 14, w64, tc8192, 2 threads. I think those might be the example settings at your github miner.

What are yours up to now? Please don't tell me you're already hitting 1mh/s.  Haha

Halfway. 550kh/s on 290X.

https://ottrbutt.com/miner/neoscryptwolf-12152014.png (NSFW) - 280X cards, 7950s, and a 290X.

Oh, and my 2 270X cards: https://ottrbutt.com/miner/neoscryptwolf-12152014-2.png

Wow.  That's nice.  Looks like your 270x may catch my 290x.  That'll be a sad day.  I need to find a friend that knows how to program.

Not just programming, it's kind of a specialized area. Just broke 560kh/s on my 290X, but I'm gonna keep messing with it.

What would you call that specialized area if I need to describe it to someone?

Probably GPU programming or parallel programming. Most coders don't think like they need to to work on GPU - it's very different.

Thanks.  This gave me some ideas.

Now that is impressive.

That's hot. I was hoping Lyra2RE would run cooler, but I guess that's what happens when you optimize the kernel to run without bottlenecks?

Nah, it shouldn't run that hot - he must have it in a case.

yes it's in a case and a reference design, so runs up to 95C and after that the centrifugal fan starts to sound like a vacuum cleaner :-)

Eh, Neo maybe, but Xxx algos are just tedious.

I thought he was referring to your wallpaper.

Haha, really?

Just trying to be funny, your work on all the algos and your wallpaper are equally impressive.  Well algos are probably more impressive.

 Here are all the bins getting produced:

  I get this from my output.log:

Any ideas?  Could CGWatcher be interfering somehow when bins are made?

You have wrong marucoin-mod.cl.
Try to find right, and replace in ./kernels
fix https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=854257.240

Thanks, I have actually been using that marucoin-mod.cl from the thread.  To be sure I double checked and it does have the correct line 96.  I'm all ears if you've got any other ideas.

You're building a Neoscrypt binary, not an X13 one.

Yeah, it's trying to build a weird one right, Building binary neoscryptHawaiigw64l4ku0big7hs.bin ?  Here are some other strange ones that actually got built.

darkcoin-modHawaiigw64l4ku0.bin (Correct)
darkcoin-modHawaiigw64l4ku0big7hs.bin
darkcoin-modHawaiigw64l4tc8192.bin
marucoin-modHawaiigw64l4ku0.bin
marucoin-modHawaiigw64l4ku0big7hs.bin (Correct)
marucoin-modHawaiigw64l4tc8192.bin
neoscryptHawaiigw64l4tc8192.bin (Correct)

CGWatcher may be screwing up.

I think that may be the case.  CGWatcher uses temporary config files and something may go wrong with that step.  You can disable that setting.  I'll try that.

On a side note what is the character called that is between w64 and 4ku0 (w64l4ku0)?

l4 for 32-bit, l8 for 64-bit

Try to run sgminer via cmd with necessary parameters and give me feedback.
Also post the link of source of this miner, or you use precompiled binary?

[drr0ss]

My sgminer versions are updated with Lyra2RE now for those that want to use it

Hello,where do i download the Sgminer for Lyra2RE friend ? Thank you

I'm not near the computer right now so I can't run sgminer via cmd but here are the steps I took to get the miner software:

-Extracted nicehash's sgminer-5.1-dev-2014-11-13-win32.zip
-From the thread you referenced earlier I grabbed the optimized sgminer kernels and put those in the sgminer directory
-Then added the fixed marucoin-mod.cl to the sgminer directory
-Created an x11 bin, then substituted Wolf0's bin
-and Profit (Very minimal profit)

I disabled CGWatcher creating temporary configs and deleted the bins.  Still had some weird bins created overnight so it appears that wasn't the problem.  Maybe the dailies have fixed this.

[TorinT]

With all this you just can not create right x13 bin even if you have the correct kernels.

I have the source, though, and can port it to whatever algo I please.

It wasn't pointed to you!

Try with my compilation.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3TH7a-0opyWVXgtRkRaM1NTNFE/view?usp=sharing
Run sgminer, and left him to generate new bins.
Look at the speeds.
If you are not satisfied with the speed, try to replace new generated bins with yours, but renames if have difference between names (yours *.bins with the newer bin names).

[jch9678]

With all this you just can not create right x13 bin even if you have the correct kernels.

It creates the correct x13 bin that corresponds to my config, but the problem is that it tries to create other bins that shouldn't be created, like an x11 bin with thread concurrency.

I did a quick hack job on Fresh, got around 9.1MH/s on 290X. Shame it's not worth anything.

Do not know if anybody here still uses Gridseed 5-chip dual miners but this is what you need https://github.com/dmaxl/cgminer/
Use --scrypt  and --sha256 commands to fire each instance of cgminer.
Tested and works with WestHash and most likely with NicHash too. Have not tried that nouncy thingy though.

Oops - sorry, wrong thread... Thought I was posting this to NiceHash. My apology to sgminer community.

Down are kernels and generated bins for X algos:

http://www.filedropper.com/x111315kernels
http://www.filedropper.com/x111314bins

Complete decision including last version of sgminer and all this kernels&bins&configuration file you can use:
http://www.filedropper.com/sgminer-51-dev-2014-mod

If you like to compile yourself you can download from:
https://github.com/sgminer-dev

This kernel&bins are for Tahiti&Hawaii. I have no Kaiman and Pitcairn to test.
After the test if you're satisfied you can tip me here: 13FykK1WoEwXV1WvrjT1hDRi1E1gFaBT8y
And Wolf0, of course!
