[ANN] sgminer with X11/X13/Nist5/Quark/Anime kernels compatible 14.6 amd drivers

[djm34]

Hi,

I have released a version of sgminer which allows to mine X11 and X13 coins using 14.6 amd drivers.

As it has been noticed some times ago, with 14.6 drivers almost double the hashrate of groestl algorithm and substantially increases the hashrate of any algo using groestl such as X11, X13, Nist5 (talkcoin).

However with 14.6 drivers some algos (in particular X11 and X13) stopped working completely.
This release fix the problem. This release is based on lasybear sgminer release.

You can find the source at:  https://github.com/djm34/sph-sgminer_x11mod
windows binaries at: https://mega.co.nz/#!sQkQ0JaY!CBz8JkqO8c0IB5ibdUDyeMNrp4hF4MqoU5a6FdJccXw
                  
This version supports these kernels (and some others... but need to be checked though)

* X11mod  (-k x11mod)
* X13mod   (-k x13mod)
* Nist5      (-k nist5)   (talkcoin)
* Quark coins (-k quarkcoin)
* Animecoin (-k animecoin )

I didn't modify the original marucoin and darkcoin kernel are they are slower and some improvement on the quark/anime kernel should be expected soon)

In terms of speed, it was tested so far only on my R9 290x:
With X11mod, I get 5.4MHash/s
With X13mod, I get 3.75MHash/s  (which is not terrible compared to nvidia cards)
With Nist5, I get 15.8MHash/s (more details can be found on talkcoin thread)

I cannot get the windows version to work properly.

Here's what I'm getting:

did you try to compile the windows binaries yourself ? (could be something wrong with those I provided, I am checking this)

No.  I used the one you provided.

I ran it for a few minutes on x13modold and x11mod on my handicapped rig: 5970 and a 5870.  Performed about the same as some sgminer from March 2014.  This was in windows 8.1 64 bit.  I don't have the 14.6 drivers.  Just using whatever win 8.1 loaded up by default... so who knows, might be 14.6... nope, device mgr says "13.251" whatever that means.

I know, probably not optimized for my 58/59xx series oldster cards.  Hopefully they will be sold on ebay soon :-) and I'll have my replacement 280x's in hand.  Maybe some 750 ti in the near future too.  

Good luck with your new miner.  Sounds promising.  I may have to give it a whirl on my other 280x's if profitability ever makes sense again.

Edit:  OP, could you clarify what your numbers mean?  Is that a boost in performance by any measurable percentage?  Not too familiar with 290's here.

Edit:  Nevermind, I see now.. this is just to fix critical errors, not improve hashes.  All good, excuse my ignorance.

I'm getting the same on Windows.

I am getting +400khash/s on my 7790 and 7850 using x11, however I am losing around 600khash/s on my r9 270. It appears that thread concurrency and gpu thread settings aren't applying, for TC it does generate a new bin but it looks like it doesn't matter what I set the value to.

I'm also getting around +400 Kh/s on my 7790 and but I'm getting an extra +600 on my 270.  I didn't make any changes to my config.
Here's my config for my 270

With this I'm getting 2.72 MH/s now and was only getting 2.1 MH/s

Thank you man very much! Its great work!
But who can tell me how i can install these to bamt   Im noob ((
Thx!
i uninstall old driver and install AMD 14.6 driver and after install these miner https://github.com/benmagro/Add-SGminer-X11X13Mod-Miner-To-BAMT/tree/master
replace al files in opt/miners/x11x13mod-sgminer with these files https://github.com/djm34/sph-sgminer_x11mod
But i have no high hashrate on my Gigabyte 7950
Have only 2,3 MH as early

R9 290 With X11mod, I get 5.2MHash/s

[ChilliWinter]

Thanks a lot this is great and working fine !

Can you share parameters ?
Thanks

mb anybody lay new bamt build with AMD14.6+new miner?

Yeah, using those settings changed nothing, I'm sure there's something wrong with my setup because TC definitely isn't really doing anything. Unfortunately I don't really have enough time to wipe it out atm, will report back if I get it all the work though.

got a 25% increase from the sgminer version I was running, great work
