CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded GPU kernels.

Ok I need some help please.
When I reboot, my 980ti and 970 gigabyte g1 need their clocks set.
Ok no problem on the 980ti... but when I give the cmd to see the 970's clocks, the readout scrolls off the screen. I mean I can't see the top of the screen where it has the time stamp.
With the 980ti I can see it but not when I cmd nvidia-smi -q -d SUPPORTED_CLOCKS -i 1.
I can't scroll to the top of the cmd window.
Any help plz.
Thx

if you are on linux, just add "| less" to the end of the command line.
"less" is more "more" than "more"... it's a "pager"
if on windows, use "| more"

This may commands to get the clocks ... where do I add that pallas on windows 8.1  plz.

cd C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSMI
nvidia-smi -q -d SUPPORTED_CLOCKS -i 1 | more

Thx  that worked
EDIT: And the 970 gigabyte g1 has the same clocks as the 980ti.
Right now the fans are turning .... they should be off... not mining.
See what happens when I get it to the p0 state.

The command line is fascinating and utterly powerful. It's interesting to study even for windows users, 'cause you will get a decent one soon (not that you couldn't before: I remember using a windows build of bash around '95).

Yes it is.

I have one more problem .. my new card 970 gtx gigabyte g1  fans should be off when not mining  like my 980ti gigabyte  is.
But the 970 fans are still turning not mining ..... I don't know why.

VCASH what is it? is that  x11gost algo ?

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/vcash/#markets

Very profitable @ 6GHASH. on a single card.

I am working on version #5(vanilla+decred#8) to the donators wich can do more than 6GHASH.

Doesn't look as good as Decred or Ethereum... What are you getting on a 970?

[Velgelm]

SP if i buy Decred+Vanilla miner, i want get only Decred8+vanilla5 miner, I don't want to buy for 0.2 even some algorithms unnecessary to me! I think that the majority of donators who bought a miner for a specific purpose I understand, and agree. Your tactics like luring BTC from the buyers

it's worse than etheruem but on par with decred, i'm getting 3k mega with 970 a bit more with the right intensity, of 30 or 31, so 6giga with one 980ti is not impressive imho

[alexis78]

is this with faster vcash and can mine decred?

Not faster. For a faster Vcash kernal. donate 0.2BTc. (15% faster than  the Provos Alexis kernal) And get decred #7 included. (25-30% faster than 1.7.5)

i can get 3000 mega on xvc with 1.7.4(1450 core) is your version faster?

I get

3150 on 1450
3300 on 1466

with decred private #4

what card? i get 3k mega on a 970 mining XVC not decred

Gigabyte g1 gaming coreclock 1366. No trottling

15% faster than the Provos Alexis kernal means that Provos Alexis kernal should report 2870 MH/s at 1466MHz on a 970

For some reason, on linux, the kernel reports 3.292Gh/s at 1466 and 3.405Gh/s at 1521Mhz on my 970

https://i.imgur.com/bBOhOVn.png

while conducting my tests. People reported the same percentage increase on similar cards (compute 5.2), and slightly less on compute5.0 (750ti).

Can you please be more specific on the hashrate you get? (because something looks really odd here)

Edit: the thread is here https://v.cash/forum/threads/ccminer-faster-8-round-blake-algo-1-16x.282/

You are right. Vanilla sp-mod #5 is only 8% faster than your 3rd attempt.. (cuda 7.5 x86 windows.)

I want to collect all my kernals into one miner and increase the price.. Less admin. Easier for the miner.
And then I will quit. Let the young and promising do the pascal mod..

Happy hashing!

If you wonder why quark is +62% and x11 is only up 18%, it's because x11 need some more work and donations...

I just did a comparison between my buyable private miner (0.1BTC) and the latest 1.7.5 release.
I have written 0-10% faster, but I should have written 17-74% faster

Sp-Mod #5 default intensities hashrates in MHASH/s. (980ti 1290 coreclock/1650 memclock)

nist5: 43.80 (+17%)
quark: 27.85 (+61,91%)
lyra2v2 16.10 (+16.6%)
x11:   12.85 (+18%)
x13:   10.27 (+19.97)
x15:    8.83 (+18.52 )
neoscrypt: 0.99 (+73.68%)

1.7.5: (32bit windows build cuda 7.5) default intensities in MHASH/s (980ti 1290 coreclock/1650 memclock)

nist5: 37.45
quark: 17.20
lyra2v2: 13.81
x11: 10.88

hey SP I bought your private spread miner does that count as 0.1 btc? if it was counted I would be a 0.2 btc donator including the decred miner. I just want the updated decred for now, what you think sp?
I will be interested in your all in one private miner when you release it  

[alexis78]

You are right. Vanilla sp-mod #5 is only 8% faster than your 3rd attempt.. (cuda 7.5 x86 windows.)

My first attempt was mining at 3380MH/s at 1521MHz and, my last attempt is doing barely +1%, mining at 3405-3410MH/s @1521MHz.

How did you get that 15% in the first place, and now, with 1% improvement by my side, your improvement "fell" to 8% (which is actually [(3525/3292) - 1] = 0.071 or 7.1%)

Also, please, do everybody a favor and show the correct graphics clock. that 3527MH/s is nothing if you moved your graphic clock to 1570MHz.

When I run your latest  kernal@github on windows i get 2.7MHASH on the same clocks as I do 3.52 MHASH wih my kernal. when running without the -i parameter.

You should remove the  !is_windows()

in the line:

int intensity = (device_sm[dev_id] > 500 && !is_windows()) ? 30 : 24;

From 2.7->3.52 is a 30% increase.

Windows cuda 7.5 32bit build compute 5.2

The intensity 24 was discussed with Epsylon3 and we thought it's better to start the miner with low intensity in case a user is trying to mine on his primary gpu.
Since we dont want them to freeze their systems by accident.
Edit: Now that you mentioned that, i should probably decrease the intensity on linux too


Anyway, can you run it with the same intensity you do on your kernel and post a screenshot? And since you are compiling on windows,
Can you disable L1 cache with -dlcm=cg while compiling? I dont know if it's already done since i dont use windows and the compilation parameters on my git (for windows) are broken. Thanks in advance

Edit2 : On 2nd day of April you stated that you get 3.3Gh/s at 1466MHz on a 970 with SP_MOD#3. Which was (3.3-3.292)-1 = 0.8% faster than the already public available version since the 20th of March.
Is this 3.525Gh/s performance measured on the same clocks? Cuz if it is, you claim a (3.525/3.3)-1 = 0.068 or 6.8% increase between (SP_MOD#3, the public available version) and SP_MOD#5

Sp  are you still working on that?  All kernels into one miner?   thx
Ps don't quit.  
Or at least get us started on pascal.

[alexis78]

Hi again SP_

I just got a message from a user of your SP_MODs.
He said that, for VCASH, none of your versions are as fast as CUDA6.5/CP3.5 (I dont know yet if he run my latest sources for cuda7.5 cp5.2), and that your SP_MOD#5 just started reaching my numbers. Since i see that you are unwilling to share a proper screenshot, i asked from him to make a comparison screenshot on the same PC, using the same gpu, under the same clocks.

Edit: U see why i said there is something odd here?

Edit2:
First reply from the user:
"I did a quick test on the 750ti - you guys are even. 1100mh/s on 750ti. Vcash"

That's not a 6.8% increase between SP_MOD#3 and SP_MOD#5 and certainly not a 30% faster than Provos Alexis kernal, nor 15% faster than Provos Alexis kernal, neither 8% faster than Provos Alexis kernal
I'm waiting for more results from his other GPUS

Quick test run on dcr:

+1.7% on 970
+1.1% on 980

About xvc, your latest (cuda 7.5 32bit exe) on windows 7 x64,

clocks ~1466:

970 ~3160
980 ~3890

clocks ~1521:

970 ~3280
980 ~4040

Alexis 6.5 + 3.5 version compiled by CMB month ago is actually faster.

Your miner is using default intensity of 24 on windows. If you compile and run it without the -i parameter my version is 30% faster on the same clocks..  Your fastest version is compiled with cuda 6.5. I haven't tested my version on anything else than cuda 7.5 32bit. I will release another faster version soon.

[alexis78]

Here is a screenshot of my latest vcash code (Compiled less than an hour ago on CUDA7.5 CP5.2,5.0,3.5,3.0) which gave me a +0.7% boost



It reports an average of 3.303Gh/s on an average of 1453.3MHZ on my GTX970

And here are the latest binaries:
http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=07038368028057919944 from the above screenshot

I'd be glad if testers could validate my results

Also, for historical purposes and to make things clear, i'd be glad if testers could grab the ccminer for vcash compiled on 24th of March for CUDA7.5 CP5.2, 5.0, 3.5 from here:
https://v.cash/forum/threads/ccminer-faster-8-round-blake-algo-1-16x.282/page-2
(It's the last post)
And report their results on this one too

Edit:

SP, i just read your post above about intensity. So, what did you exactly sold to all these people?
A better intensity option for an already open sourced code?

Edit2:
Testers should find their own intensities (i use 31 for 970 on vcash)
