CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded GPU kernels.

[Grout]

I just switched my desktop (the one with the GTX970 G1 Gaming) from windows to linux and got a very nice surprise: on windows, when mining, the mouse is lagging and the machine is pretty much unusable. On linux, no such thing! The machine is happily mining Quark at 17MH while I watch a 1080p video on Youtube.

What is this witchery? Not that I'm complaining...

BTW, it's about time for my donation, so here's a beer SP: 3bb1e5e50d3967cfc8f5e14aa700c316fc69c45380fcad938aed2d67fc62615c

which distro did you use? ... redhat based or debian based? ...

My miner is on CentOS6, because nvidia's debian repository was acting up at the time.
My desktop is on Ubuntu. I don't like it that much, but once you clean it up, it's okay. And the list of supported OSes from nvidia is so short it doesn't leave much of a choice.

Can anyone else build the latest on git and test it. lyra2v2 (linux)

Just pulled (latest commit is t-nelson logger stuff), hashing to nicehash and nothing submitted:

I think lyra2v2 was broken some checkins ago. Probobly in the hashing. I will take a look later.

[Slava_K]

I think problem start from commit "Removed some more instructions in Blake512, Bmw512,lyra2 and lyra2v2".

So you're telling me I'm probably not going to find a block and trigger this crash @HEAD?

I've locally reverted the commit mentioned by Slava_K.  Hopefully that does the trick.

SP_  (and all ccminer devs) you made really great job.  lyra2v2 hashing extremely fast on such small cards.
after couple hours of playing with configs  i could reach:

Code:

[2015-09-17 17:38:00] GPU #0: GeForce GTX 750 Ti, 5025 Temp= 50C Fan= 41%

crazy speed.

[sp_]

But Djm-34's private kernal is doing 6.2MHASH on the 750ti. That is why lyra2v2 is not profitable to mine...

but it's not this commit. must be one of the other commits

found it now. Will submitt a fix.

[Cryptozillah]

I switched build from r61 to r67 on all my Nvidia gear and i got slightly slower speed per card reported by ccminer but noticed that my rejected hash at NiceHash went down a bit.




I still have problems with two rigs shutting themself down from time to time but i think that is due to faulty gpu:s involved in those rigs.

One day of mining donated and on its way:

lolwut !? yeah it's my fault... sure  

 please spare me this kind of bullshit...
(if it was an attempt at motivating me to release it... it pretty much failed...  )

You have the fastest kernal in the world. You are the best optimizer in the lyra2v2 algo for the 750ti.
TSIV has already reached 5,7MHASH.

Without opensourcing, someone else will make a faster kernal. It's just a matter of time.

I have submitted fixes in the atomic conversions. Lyra2v2 should now be fine.

Thanks alot:) Release 68 will be faster.

The motherboard could be out of power. remove a card and see if it helps over time.

Do you mind to share your config?

[Slava_K]

Works! Hashrate +100 kH on 980, +60 kH on 960!

[sp_]

The lyra2v2 defaults are not optimal.

on 750ti the default intensity is -X 16, but -X 5 -X 10 and -X15 are bether. -X 5 use less power too(less memory)..

Will change it.

Also the tpb hardcoded in the code needs to be adjusted. 980ti/980/960 probobly need totally different values.

On 980 and 960 my best is 7. Plz test...

I don't have a 980 here. But you can also try to change the tbp:

Lyra2REv2.cu:

   else if (strstr(props.name, "980"))
   {
      intensity = 256 * 256 * 7;
      tpb = 7;
   }


if your values are higher than 9 (950,960,970,980,980ti you need to increase the limit as well:
cuda_lyra2v2.cu:

#define TPB52 9
#define TPB50 16

[sp_]

I submitted bether defaults now.

I get 5150KHASH on 1388Mhz core and 2700 MEM. (750ti 38W tdp)
the 970 is peaking at 9950KHASH

Corrected to around 5000 on a pool(benchmark is showing high numbers)

but high rejects on the pool (duplicate shares).

Will submit a fix.

fixed

building release 68

He is selling it? Last I heard it wasn't for sale. Although that would probably have something to do with the decline of L2V2.

Telling you guys, 2% miner fee and just release stuff like that... Then improve it a bit, release it again.

I use .67 A good result for the GTH 960.
