any updates?
I'm working on releasing some updates for the AMD GPU Miner, SKMiner.
1. Full and Correct AMD Overdrive 5 and 6 support.
2. Auto Configuration of Mining Settings.
3. CGWatcher Compatibility.
4. Fail-Over Connections
1. Full and Correct AMD Overdrive 5 and 6 support. CGMiner did a pretty awful job of implementing ADL/AMD Overdrive support and I originally followed CGMiner's implementation of AMD ADL.
I removed all of the old code in SKMiner for ADL and re-wrote it, the correct way.
AMD Overdrive 5 and 6 are now fully supported. Newer cards use Overdrive 6, such as the R9 290.
2. Auto Configuration of Mining Settings. I have it auto configuring settings now. No more need to mess with settings for your card as it looks up the best values for you.
This is especially useful if you have more than one card and they are different. Say you have a R9 280x and an R9 270x in the same system.
ADL and OpenCL list the cards in a different order, that's why it's hard to set them up correctly in other mining software such as CGMiner.
You can still enter your own settings if you wish. In fact it makes it easier to do that also.
If you let it run the auto settings once it then gives you separate settings files for each card in your system. No more needing to guess which card is card "0" or card "1".
The settings file contains the name of your card. So it will say "R9 280X" in the file and then you can change it's settings if you wish.
That all works right now in the code I'm working on.
3. CGWatcher Compatibility. Basically replicating the calls for the CGMiner API I'm almost done adding CGwatcher support to the SKMiner API.
I'm implementing a few more API calls and then finishing up testing.
4. Fail-Over Connections I've Implemented Fail-Over Connections in the Code but I still need to test them.
Depending on my progress this might be released with the next update
