CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded GPU kernels.

With the latest commit, I get on Quark 38142 Kh/s on my 6 card EVGA 750 Ti SC with no OC, No Bios change Windows 8.1 Pro (6357 per card).   If I put the fans to 100% I can get about 15 Kh/s more per card.  

X11 19070 Kh/s Rig / 3178.33 Kh/s per card  (Note this is with any -g or -i parameter)

thats the great thing about this fork - sp puts the intensity levels ( -i ) as high as he can as default in the code so that the miner works at peak speed ...

this can backfire with some cards - as the intensity levels are a little too high at default - but usually works quite well overall ...

for those who want to mine as a donation for sp's work - i will be working on getting the donation links running and active today ...

a few more issues to be rid of and the servers ( with donation links ) will be ready to mine with ...

Yeah... there is very little configuration for this miner compared to SG. You just plug in pool and algo information and that's it.

That also means people aren't rewarded for tweaking the miner in addition to setting it up, but you know. That's just the elitist miner in me talking.

sp is working on oc setting tuning within the miner though ...

its just limited by the nvidia toolkit and from nvidia themselves ...

eg - memclock and gpuclock is possible under linux using nvidia-smi - BUT - nvidia themselves are limiting availability to the cards that can be oc'd to those that are the 'elite' upper range cards ... my gigabyte 750ti oc lp card is not on that list ...

so when there is more flexibility to do that - i am sure there will be the switches / parameters that will be built into ccminer ( if it is still called that of course ) that will allow easy oc - like that in sgminer ...

i really do like the sgminer 'stats-candy' ...

one can see all that one needs - in one screen ... except for the current block number ( not just the hash ) ... unlike the rolling list that ccminer has ...

for the layman and lazy miner - this is a good thing ... for tweakers and power users / miners - this is a little lame ... but works ...

I also like the stats and other options available in SG, but no one for Nvidia has been willing to work on it. I messaged SP at one time asking him what it would cost to add it and he never got back to me on that.

From mining across multiple miners and versions, the best 'features' were found in SGminer. Going a step further Multiminer simplified that even further and almost was a complete mining experience. CCminer and CGminer can't be incorporated in to Mutliminer though as a API was never added to either of them. If you use AMD cards I'd advise checking it out. I used it right up till the point I stopped using AMD cards. Great piece of software made by Nwools. Even has a mobile app.

(No minercontrol isn't nearly the same thing)


BTW if anyone wants to help add support for CCminer or CGminer to Multiminer, MM is open source and Nwools is very easy to work with. It's a great piece of software in and of itself.

agreed on many points ...

there would be many many reasons why ccminer devs would not want to work on sgminer code ...

even wolf - who is a long time dev of opencl AND sgminer - has a great deal to say about sgminer's internal workings ... but all those stats at a glance - stats-candy ...

ive been watching multiminer for a very long time - even tried getting it running under fedora 20 x64 with no success ... havent toyed with it for a while now - too much on my plate ... but would definitely be worth a look-in to see whats happened with it ...

only a small part of the farm is amd - gigabyte 7970 oc and 280x oc ... about 22 cards left i think from memory ... wasa great deal more than that until nvidia kicked serious butt with hashrate and power consumption ... which is why most of the farm is now nvidia ... but i do have a soft spot for amd still - which is why these cards are still running ...

so i guess its a matter of workign what you have ( and forking your own builds ) or building from scratch and developing a 'new' miner ...

cant wait for that to happen ...

I have done very little for AMD, but the small changes I did was directly in the .cl code of the kernals.. I plan to do some more later as I have quite a few cards I picked up cheap.
Kachur bins does 13MHASH on quark on the 280x and 7.5MHASH x11. I use miner control software to avoid crashes and lost mining..

so does this mean you will be spending more time on opencl optimizations? ...

these are the two main algos i am much more interested in also - so the higher the optimizations - the better ...

that's what you need to beat: 850kh/s on 980 200kh/s (but if I have a bad 750ti) and 500kh/s on 780ti

ps: on a bitter sweet note, usually when I submit updates, I usually don't get beers, just devs outsourcing my stuff and eventually getting beers

I do not have any of those cards, just a 970; what's your hashrate on that card?
about beers, I got none of them: got BTCs only when selling.

yeah me too... (hopefully)
don't have a 970, but it should scale according the perf of the 980 (considering it is the same mem bandwidth)

Anyone upgraded to windows10 ?
can you share your impression especially on the 900 serie.

So far I tested (and went back to win8.1) on 780ti, 750ti and 980
perf of the 750ti and 780ti didn't change much, but for the 980 got huge loss of performance (like 20% on neoscrypt and similar on cryptonight)

Was beta testing but here is what I am curious about since the new driver for DX12 is out.

In the past if you SLI'd say 2 960 4Gb then Windows would only read them as a total of 4GB but now Windows 10 will recognize them as 8GB total memory. It has to be implemented on the developer end though to take effect. Would this help in the few memory heavy algos if ccminer could implement it?

not sure it would help, unless you mine only with one card and even then, the performance in accessing the memory from the other card would be terrible...
did you try mining with your cards ? did you noticed any difference ?

No difference at all. Slight (very) gain with some algos and slight loss on others. I don't have a 980 though it was with 960 and 750ti's.

At the time Windows 10 was having wifi issues so I would only test it on Sundays and the driver for DX12 was not out yet so they all where still buggy drivers.

Will run this Sunday since it is my first day off to be home with the release.

could be only the 980 (heard that the 980ti wasn't even recognized...). I think epsylon didn't notice notice any problem either...
could also be the sli bridge (the sli wasn't activated, but the bridge is always in place... and it was less trouble to downgrade than opening the tower... so...) well I guess I will make another try when nvidia release a new driver...

Maybe if you poopoo'd less and got drunk more, you'd get more beers.

Doesn't change anything. If there is a performance difference there, it needs to be unlocked. At least it doesn't hurt hashrates. W8.1 x64 to W10 x64.

I have a 970 and mining Neo. If anything it looks like it minimized GPU utilization spikes. Almost all my GPUs across the board have no fluctuation what so ever. The overall hashrate hasn't really changed though. GPU usage and Power is just flat.

I also have problems remoting into the W10 PC. I may revert it.


BTW looks like Bytecoin is almost worth mining, if only Cryptonote performed better.

I get around 650kH/s for NeoScrypt on GTX980.  But that's with TDP limited to 150W.  I figure out it's more efficient to run at lower wattage.
