Topic: [ANN] sgminer v5 - optimized X11/X13/NeoScrypt/Lyra2RE/etc. kernel-switch miner - page 220. (Read 877859 times)

Working fine for me switching between X11, X13, and ScryptN11.  Hashrates are actually stable on my R9 290s too, although it took forever to find good tuning.

Compiled from the latest git pull.  My config layout:

This produces 2.95 MH/s for X13 and 4.44 MH/s for X11, with only minor engine overclock (from stock 947 up to 970).  Running stable with no hashrate decline.

it seems pool switch based on profit working but algo not switching
if i mine on x11 pool then it switch to x13 miner still mines with x11 kernel and getting 100% rejects

I'm gonna change my rig and put the 6970 into another rig, then I have a rig with only 7950 and another with only 6970.
To much frustation with sgminer multi and different gpus.(marucoin-mod and marucoin-modold)
Gonna test it tommorow when the rent is over..

This is my config for new sgminer 5 multi with x11-x13mod and work for me fine
i have two card 290-7950

im not using pool-algorithm.

this current binary release by nicehash does not work as it should, there is also many options not read from the global section, like gpu-mem.

i removed all instances of gpu-threads and it ran more than 60 seconds, but the only on 1 thread.

Same problem on X13. X11 work fine.
Driver 14.6, 2xR9 270

Do not use "pool-algorithm" anymore but use "algorithm" (also in the pool section) or it will not work.

So on my machine it does build the kernels now but my drivers (14.6) keep crashing for one of my cards no matter what settings I try.
It's not just a simple copy-paste your old config when you want to step up to 14.6 I'm afraid

how fixed cholivash???

after 60 seconds the following happens

thread was not cancelled in 60 seconds after restart_mining_threads

driver 14.6
5x 280x

i fixed the default of ckolivas to not specify a default profile and put the algo in the global config.

That's what badman74 & bullus are reporting in too.

Open a github issue?

anyone can post working config with this new miner??/
 i cant get it to work
always building cholivash kernel

you don't need to install 14.6
just use right bin-files and thats all.

for those who have hw in 14.6
change in darkcoin-mod.cl and marucoin-mod.cl
to:
delete your bin-files and try again

and please put this bin-files somewhere and give a link

So wait, you saw performance increase on sgminer-14.6, even though you were using 14.4 drivers and not had 14.6 installed?

That's kind of confusing.

I didn't install 14.6yet but just copied the opencl and amdocl files into the miner but no increase, with 14.6miner it was working like that and offcourse deleted the bins

Deleted your .bin files right, and checked your hamsi-expand-big?

We have published new binaries (linux, windows), build today ... you already know the most notable updates:

- completely new configuration options with profiles (remember to replace any pool-xxx setting with only xxx), take your time and read thoroughly all the details here: https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer/blob/v5_0/doc/configuration.md
- support for 14.6 drivers
- new x11 (darkcoin-mod) and x13 (marucoin-mod) kernels (make sure you delete your old .bin files before running new version!)
- optimized nist5 (talkcoin-mod) kernel
- numerous bugfixes, also related to algorithm switching
