i'm use bop files 13.12 for 6850. Result 3.3Mh.
sgminer -k groestlcoin in optimized .CL is better = 3.47Mh.

On the last miner i was using i had 17 Mh/s instead of 21 Mh/s for my 7950.

The "-g 1" is not usual. If you remove it, would it influence the hashrate?

23.5% gain with optimized. Pretty good.

Could I ask you to try the 3 bop files in this zip package and provide the hashrates for your 7950?

Thanks

today, when tried 1.3.1 noticed for the third time, that your pool does not pay for the last 3 hours mining, if to make a pause.
if the pool pays after 3 hours of a mining, that and payments have to go 3 hours after a stop. am I right?

when you do a normal statistics?

I'm not sure what you are asking.

But when you start mining for the 1st time, the coins will only be paid out once the found block mature. Which is usually 2-3 hours.

Same happens when you stop mining. You still will be getting some coins for a few hours after you stop.

I wrote that 3 times checked payments after a stop. they are smaller than they should be and only 1 hour, instead of three.

-g 1 change nothing

14.6b = 21 Mh/s
1312l = 7.86 Mh/s
1312w = 18.75 Mh/s

I tested your 13.12 windows compiled bop files too and i get 9.8Mh/s with 7850 and 18,75Mh/s with 7950.
So i guess that "l" was for linux and that "w" for windows

Maybe i should try to test in windows later or that would help if someone else can...

Conclusion 1 : On linux, 14.6b drivers are way better for 7850 & 7950. Seems normal, the weird thing is rather people getting higher hashrate with 280x & old drivers.
Conclusion 2 : There are huge difference between linux and windows compiled bop files. Windows compiled files perform a lot better on linux than linux compiled files...wtf lol

[srcxxx]

14.7 RC1 driver is out. It is not better in terms of groestl algo mining. Perhaps even a bit slower (19.84 MH/s on 14.7 vs 20.03MH/s on 14.6).

I would not recommend you to update at this point unless you have some other reason. Let's wait for the official release...

[DumDumz]

with 7950 not working only rejections

same on 7970 not working

I recommend you read the OP. There are several things you should not forget:

1 - adding the normal-hashing parameter if mining DMD
2 - make sure you use the optimized kernel only with the 4 stratums mentionned in the OP. It will not work in other pools.
3 - use the default config posted in OP or available in the example.conf file that comes with the miner
4 - and most importantly, you should provide more detailed info. Saying you only get rejections is not very useful to figure out what you problem is. Perhaps posting your config file and a screenshot of sgminer or printout could be useful.

I don't see why with 7970 it cannot work. 280x is a 7970 rebranded so they should behave the same way. Only scrxxx can confirm this 100% though.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your help buddy

why is this not released for other pools? :s

[pallas]

why is this not released for other pools? :s

because the working pool is his own and he wants to make money :-)

lol figures...this goes against any principle of crypto-currency...what happened to open-source and decentralisation?
i understand he puts in the work..but im sure if he would open up a donation fund, lots of us would be very happy to donate some

version grs-sgminer1_3_1  it works fine with other coins but not with atheistcoin??

same problem. Somebody know how to fix this

[HR]

7850 @ 1100/100 and drivers 13.12 = 5 Mh/s
7950 @ 1080/100 and drivers 13.12 = 11 Mh/s

7850 @ 1100/100 and drivers 14.6b = 12.5 Mh/s
7950 @ 1080/100 and drivers 14.6b = 21 Mh/s

I heard people with 280x have approx 30 Mh/s...

EDIT : Myriadcoin-groestl

Yes, this seem quite low for the optimized kernel. I'm not sure about 30MH/s on R9 280X (I have 33MH/s on R9 280), but 21MH/s on 7950 seem to be low.

Please send your command line.

You are using -k myriadcoin-optimized, right?

Because if you are using just the normal -k myriadcoin-groestl, that's pretty much what you should be getting.

Thanks

On the last miner i was using i had 17 Mh/s instead of 21 Mh/s for my 7950.

Have you documented the difference in AC consumption and temperatures?

[HR]

What about the power consumption of the optimized and unoptimized kernels?

Does anyone have some numbers for us?

Without modifying any settings except the kernel this is what I get:

Standard kernel: 4 x 280x = 695 Watts >> 14.5 Mh per card
Optimized kernel: 4 x 280x = 918 Watts >> 5 Mh per card

This is the total wattage reading from the watt meter at the wall so it also includes the rest (mobo, ram, cpu etc) but what is interesting is the relative difference.

Also note that in order to get the best of the standard kernel I would need to modify certain parameter in order to "optimize" the hashing.

EDIT:

After I optimize parameters with the stantard kernel I get:

Standard kernel: 4 x 280x = 790 Watts >> 7.7 Mh per card

EDIT 2:

Noticed I inverted hashing values above. It was supposed to be:

Standard kernel: 4 x 280x = 695 Watts >> 5 Mh per card
Optimized kernel: 4 x 280x = 918 Watts >> 14.5 Mh per card

polanskiman,

I see you were monitoring this. How about your previous readings using sph-sgminer (both energy consumption and hashrates)? Much appreciated.

polanskiman,
I see you were monitoring this. How about your previous readings using sph-sgminer (both energy consumption and hashrates)? Much appreciated.

If I remember right I was getting around 4.7 Mh with sph-sgminer for a similar energy consumption than with the grs-sgminer optimised kernel. Perhaps even more.

I have now switched to NVIDIA's GTX 750Ti which is way more energy efficient. One 750Ti gives you 7.8 Mh for 50W which is 15.6 Mh for 100W (for 2 GPUs). A 280X give's 14.8 Mh (in my case) with the optimised kernel for 230 Watt. You get the point.

Glad I'm not mining here anymore and that I am not using AMD's 280X. Sold them.

Cool. Thanks for the data.

Got to love those 750Ti cards. I'll be replacing my 7950's sometime soon.

BTW, has anyone said anything on why the huge difference between the myriad-groestl and groestl hashrates? Myriad-groestl gets around 90% higher hashrates than groestl (and the diamond kernel too)!

[xfelinho]

myriad groestl is groestl and sha256
groestl is groest groestl

--> sha256 is super fast, so groestl takes most of the time --> myriad groestl nearly 2 times as fast as groestl

Interesting. Do you have some documentation that you could link us to? TIA
