ONCE AGAIN this another .conf file with ALL THE THREAD CONCURRENCIES AT THE LOWEST POSSIBLE VALUE OF 8192,

-- and there's no mixture of TC's, mixing worksizes, or mixing intensities... Why mine scrypt if it's on the absolute shittiest possible settings for hashrate?

Like I said, these settings work for me. I tried all the possible algorithms separately with the file and got maximum out of scrypt / nscrypt. X11&X13 also at good rate, without the mods.

PS if you look at the conf you see mixing worksizes..

For anyone having problems that sgminer stops directly on startup: delete "gpu-platform" : "0" out the config file, helped me

Been mining multi algo 1/2 day now, no problems. Am mining with r9 280x's with following config:

So far, this particular miner is useful for going between X11/X13 since those have the same hardcoded thread concurrencies.

I fucking had a really good idea that flipping TCs amongst algos was a terrible idea in the same instance.

Edit: Confirmed if you strip out the multiports for scrypt, scrypt-N, and scrypt-backup then it doesn't shit all over the cards, so currently right now what we have is a pretty well-working X11/X13 kernel-switching combo-miner.

Edit2: Which is cool for the summer right now since, electricity, heat, blah blah blah. Can we get anybody with results for all 4 algos in the same mining instance, and can we see the log file where we get to watch it switching algos?

Edit3: Also, seem to notice in the latest build that there is a SLIGHT performance drop in the X13 hashing from about 3.4 -> 3.2; can't identify why. I'm going to go back and see if the uptime counter is causing a performance hit.

Edit4: It seems to be caused by Nicehash getting stratum work restarts...

Fuck, maybe this is what's going on.

Elun, mrbdo, the best scrypt kernel file for R9 290X cards is this one found in the cgminer 3.7.3 is this file "scrypt130511_alexey.cl"

Can we get this kernel file built in? I'm going to try and dry drop it in right now.

Here is my windows build with latest changes: https://www.dropbox.com/s/28e1tv9ho64eolc/sgminer_v5_0_05062014.zip
There is no ADL GPU idle patch, we tested it and driver drops clocks and gpu load automatically, if all pools dead/internet connection disabled. Let us know, if in your case gpu runs at full speed with all pools dead/internet connection disabled.
No sick time increase, check this comment: https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer/pull/217#issuecomment-45047918

Elun this build crashes out immediately with HW errors even if you use the exact same .conf file from the previous build.

Something we're missing?

Wow, can i see your conf file?

Sure thing, I have this one currently working on the machine that will SHUT OFF CARDS when flipping to Scrypt. This is NOT in the new 6/5/14 build, as I couldn't get it to go past initializing... Let me see if it will build with an X13 base in the bottom part of the conf.

This is working ok for me except for keccak. When mining keccak, I'm getting a lot of stale shares and job not found. Roughly 20% reject rate for keccak. Still submits accepted shares, but tons of stale and not found. The rest (scrypt, scrypt-n, x11, and x13) are working great. No problems with Nicehash algo-switching for the last 24 hours using it. Running on Ubuntu 12.04, compiled myself from source. I'm using an ASUS 280x.

Average hashrates:
scrypt - 771kh/s
scrypt-n - 355kh/s
x11 - 2.650Mh/s
x13 - 2.750Mh/s
keccak - 355Mh/s w/ ~20% reject rate

Here goes another.

Something wrong on the Nicehash side or what?

It's pretty clear we can get this flip-flop between X11/X13/[maybe] Keccak - but when flip to Scrypt----> NOPE!

My question is, how did it accept the 1 share at the Scrypt?

It's obvious this thing fucks up really bad when it tries to flip to it.

Here is my windows build with latest changes: https://www.dropbox.com/s/28e1tv9ho64eolc/sgminer_v5_0_05062014.zip
There is no ADL GPU idle patch, we tested it and driver drops clocks and gpu load automatically, if all pools dead/internet connection disabled. Let us know, if in your case gpu runs at full speed with all pools dead/internet connection disabled.
No sick time increase, check this comment: https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer/pull/217#issuecomment-45047918

Elun this build crashes out immediately with HW errors even if you use the exact same .conf file from the previous build.

Something we're missing?

Wow, can i see your conf file?

24 hours uptime, 1 SICK -> DEAD card on a R9 290X, same setting as before.

Whoever it was, mrbdo or whatever ---> WHAT IS YOUR PARTICULAR REASON for not wanting to extend the SICK timer?

Mine to extend it is to TEST STABILITY OVER A COURSE OF A FEW DAYS OF UPTIME

I'm having trouble tweaking it for my 290x, would you mind sharing your settings?

See above post.

That gives me 2.8M on X13, we're far from 3.4M-ish. What are you getting with those settings?

I get 3.4 steady, check and make sure you have an MSI AB, gpu-threads2 etc

Post back with your results please.

Nice goal and project, but don't release it before it WORKS.

I haven't even tried it yet after reading all these threads,
but from my experience, you will NOT get cards to not be
sick, work at all, be dead, or hash at previous speeds once
you go in and out of Scrypt-N. Scrypt-N switching needs
a reboot if you switch algos.

Tried for over an hour to get something decent going between the x11 and x13 pools but nothing seems to be working correctly. I'll just leave everything on x13 for now.

If somebody has a conf file that works correctly with 7970's i'd love to take a peek.

I keep having sgminer quit on me after 60 seconds. Sometimes it accepts a share with 0.00 diff. Just spent 4 hours testing and trying different settings and the 60 second quit kept happening.

Issue

Quote

thread was not cancelled in 60 seconds after restart_mining_threads

Cause
sgminer.c
line 6224 - bool soft_restart = !work->pool->gpu_threads; - wtf??
line 6290 - quit(1, "thread was not cancelled in 60 seconds after restart_mining_threads"); - right...

Workaround
remove all "pool-gpu-threads" from the config and use global "gpu-threads".
this ofc sucks, but will do till the bug-fix.

p.s.
I do miss ckolivas ; (

I finally managed to get it fully working on xubuntu 13.10 (multi with ALL algorithms). It took me about 7 hours of painful troubleshooting, but hey, it works.
