CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded GPU kernels.

[joblo]

The whole reason I asked about Lyra is because I'm using Miner Control to help keep my connection to yaamp. It works great, took me some time to get it to run, but does, according to price, switch to that algo.

I think yaamp normalises prices based on AMD HW, as do most profit switching multipools. Some algos are way
off compared to ccminer.

Looks like AMD gpus are best on lyra2re, see my miner in the signature (r9 290 almost 1.8 Mh/s and about 200W).

By extrapolation from the 750ti the 970 could match that @ 145 watts and a 980 2.2 Mh/s @ 155 watts,

It doesn't work like that - 750Ti tends to be the absolute best of the three in hash/watt...

And Lyra2RE depends heavily on ram speed: just think that r9 290 and 290x are virtually equivalent, regardless 10% more shaders. Kinda like scrypt.
Thus, I don't think the 980 can do 2.2 Mh/s, probably half that.

Is that the latency problem all over again?

[pallas]

Is that the latency problem all over again?

Lyra2RE does random accesses: some are even based on the previous results.
So it is a mix of latency and bandwidth but I'd say more latency than anything else.

[Amph]

is the miner affected by the nvida "bug"(they said that they have done it intentionally, but let's call it a bug) when i open more than 1 instance, and as a result i saturate all the ram available?

[CapnBDL]

I don't think the release done for nVidia cards has such bug...it's working for me. Vid ram is within ranges. Just switched me to Quibit....plain jane settings get 5200+. Now I need a setting for 750Ti mining quibit. Help?

right now it is .....-r 3 -R 10 -a qubit

gimme a i
gimme a g
gimme a........

What's that spell....hell, who knows    

serious..750Ti switches for quibit plz? ..Now it switched me back to quark. Those setting I already have entered.

edit; Just read the rest of your comment. Why would you want to run more than one instance? I don't understand? Wouldn't that saturate any cards mem?

edit2; Tried it! Duh...of course the mem gets saturated. So, I ask again...why would you want to do that?

[CapnBDL]

Ok...have quibit intensity set to 19.3. Close enough for the 750Ti?

[sambiohazard]

@CapnBDL you run 2 instances to divide hashrate between two pools, in case one goes down other gets full 100% other wise both get 50-50%. It was a simple way around lack of failover since cudaminer days.
I get 5700 khash/s on qubit w/o any switches try that, but you have to have CPU idle for that or reduce 200 khash/s for each core used. I tried upto 2 cores.

I stand corrected. I couldn't get over 900K on a 980.

My junior gtx750 can do 890khs lyra with sp_'s #50 heavily oc'ed to 1480/1575 cpu/mem

So your OCed 750 with 1 GB of RAM, my non-OCed 980 with 4 GB, and an i7-4790k can all
hash about the same, but with significantly different TDP profiles. It looks like the 750 has
the best TDP.

I am disappointed with the performance on the 980. I'll have to do some wider testing to see
if any other algos show this non-linearity among different cards.  It will complicate profit
switching if the card model has to be taken into account. I had wrongly assumed that all
algos would scale linearly and just used the 750ti as a reference.

you're doing something wrong... the 980 should do around 1.5MH/s (at least with my version... not following much what is happening here)

Joblo have you changed the intensity setting for the 980?  The default might be too low for the 980.

I was able to break 1 Mh/s with -i 21.2, any higher would crash. I guess I won't be mining lyra2
with that card.

that's actually why I think letting users set the intensity, isn't a good things... 
(not sure why .2 either  2^0.2 makes me wonder a bit  )

ps: the 980 is really a good card when not using random setting

Yes mine works much better with x11, quark, etc, even with random default settings.

Your PSU is a good one?

Cooling is adequate?

EDIT: yeah, Quark is best pay right now/lately anyway.

anyone use this with a GTX 770?  What kind of speeds/algos?  thx

SP's optimizations and default builds are for compute 5.0 (gtx750 & newer) so you would first
have to compile ccminer yourself for compute version 3.0 and it probably wouldn't benefit from the
optimizations. If you're not comfortable compiling, or more spefically, changing the
compute version, there have been some discussions about it earlier in this thread. If you get
stuck I'm sure someone here will help you.

just fyi my results for lyra2 at -i 22.5

seems pretty stable once it got over a stumble when I first launched it
