NeoScrypt --

When i issue the command "git clone --recursive https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer.git", the cloned "sgminer" directory does not have the "neoscrypt.*" files in the "kernel" or "algorithm" directories.

ystarnaud has added the "neoscrypt.cl" file from Wolf9466 a few hours ago.  The new "neoscrypt.*" files can be seen in the directories mentioned above via ystarnaud's github post.

How do I clone ystarnaud's latest edition?       --scryptr
try
git clone -b develop --recursive git://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer.git

Thanks for your informative reply, Badman.  The "sgminer" directory that I cloned had the latest neoscypt files, and compiled readily.  I am running Ubuntu 14.04.1 with AMD 14.9 drivers.  The compiled sgminer 5.1.0-dev-2-gf608 flew with worksize 64 and I=14.  NO HW ERRORS, they were a big problem when trying to use the master branch.  I did not have to change my drivers, either.       --scryptr

I am sorry, can't seem to find an answer anywhere.

Whats the power consumption in neoscrypt compared to other algos? Like scrypt and x11 ie?

Thanks for the answers  Smiley

It's closer to X11 than scrypt, it seems.

Anyone can share the bin file of the new neoscrypt kernel with worksize=64 ?

Thank you very much  Grin I got 240 kh/s / 280x
Can you send me another one please with TC "thread-concurrency" : "8192" please.
Thanks again

i managed to squeeze 301khs out of my hynix 280x's and 277khs from my elpdia 280x's :-P and 265khs from my 7950's. most def a superior improvement, thanks again wolf Cheesy

There is something wrong on the develop branch git version..

Scrypt and scrypt-n barely work at all, just spit out HW errors. Also random HW errors on Keccak and neoscrypt, and also sometimes even on X11.

Master branch from git seems to work with no HW errors, with exact same config.

So, anyone struggling with HW errors, try the master branch version.. This can be perhaps be combined with kernel files from the develop branch.
also my mod build is based off the master branch with all the changes for neoscrypt added so you might try it as well
not really sure what the difference is
i know scrypt-n has always given me some errors but they do seem to be worse now

So this is a thread about sgminer5 the multi-algo miner; does sgminer5 now include neoscrypt algo as an option?

Yes.

Wolf0, I tried switching to this latest miner of yours briefly (I'm on a X15 lease at the moment). I used the same config file as I use on my other SGminer copy, and it ran, but had many hardware errors. They were accumulating at a pace of over 12/minute across all four 290X's. I ran it long enough to see the hashrate top out at a level identical to my prior Sgminer build. Any thoughts on why I'd be getting hardware errors with yours? I have BF4 edition 290X's, and I copied the DLL's from my other copy of SGminer to yours, if that matters. But the binaries I did not copy over.

The develop branch isn't up to date with the main branch of SGMiner - the dev I asked to put in neoscrypt support did it on the dev branch, so it's probably buggy.

EDIT: One nice thing is that it doesn't have all of the main branch's bugs, either - I can use --device without the UI getting fucked again Cheesy

Guys from Vertcoin are looking for someone to implement Lyra2RE algorithm into sgminer: http://sourceforge.net/p/sgminer/mailman/message/33026956/

Looks like a challenging and interesting job for guys like @Wolf0, @badman74 or @Slix (ystarnaud)...

I forecasted that months ago https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer/issues/365

thanks wolf but i'm not able to get anywhere near your rates. my sapphire 290 tri-x are only getting 145khs each running on 14.9 driver with -w 48, -tc 8192, -threads 4 in win 7. i wonder what the diff is.

I'm using my own kernel that's in development, that's why.

Damn it! Sad lol

Wish I read this before I set up the miner expecting more hash!

Eargarly awaiting the development/release of that kernal. Tongue

Don't be too eager, I dunno what I'm going to do with it yet. I've rewritten almost all of it with at least decent code now. Here's some hashrates you should REALLY like (card types and info shown in notepad; NSFW): https://ottrbutt.com/miner/neoscryptwolf-11032014.png

I didn't have chance to see the hashrate before I had to close the window because I didn't want my GF to wonder WTF I was looking at. Maybe later....

Well, here's the highest one, from my 290X: 300kh/s.

What speed is possible with R9 290 cards with stock 1000/1500 settings?.

Is possible? Or is available?  Tongue
