Topic: ATTN Litecoin GPU Miners - Scrypt support for cgminer - page 26. (Read 175855 times)

The request was for a GPU miner so I didn't intend to create a cpu miner.... Having said that, I incorporated the CPU mining code anyway for its sanity checking, but you won't be able to use it unless you compile it yourself once it's released, just like the current cpu mining code.

Here's what I'm getting so far from 4x7970s.

Code:
cgminer version 2.5.0 - Started: [2012-07-21 01:59:22]

Note that you can increase the hashrate further, on both this and reaper BUT it starts generating garbage. I know people have claimed higher hashrates, but be wary of these claims and look at that successful share submission rate. My mining rig is really struggling behind the weak wifi it runs off when trying to submit 1300 shares per minute. I'll be tweaking the command line settings so they mean something more useful though since intensity of -3 will be rather confusing, so I'll change the scale for scrypt.

There are settings for which reaper does not return high quantities of stales at high aggressions with few stales, they were being posted up on BTC-e the other day.  As I recall the thread concurrency used was something around 10240 (maybe slightly higher, but still around 10k).

edit: here they are, for ~450kh/s

worksize 256
aggression 13
threads_per_gpu 4
sharethreads 18
lookup_gap 2
gpu_thread_concurrency 8192

and for 650kh/s

worksize 256
aggression 13
threads_per_gpu 5
sharethreads 18
lookup_gap 2
gpu_thread_concurrency 10240

You must use the 12.6 drivers and the latest SDK to get these hash rates

Atm the reaper opencl code sucks. My 5870 generates about 420kh/s, to use as a reference. So it should be getting like 6-700 or more from a 7970.
But how many accepted shares does it generate at that alleged hashrate?

Ozcoin has raised its share target as part of the testing of cgminer scrypt version
my reaper is now running cleaner too

Some Litecoin pools serve a share target that is inadequate for GPU mining (target too high/easy, therefore causing too many share submissions).
You may want to try mining at pools with a lower/harder target, like Nicksasa's notroll.in, or against P2Pool, which adapts the target to the miner's speed.

Would it be acceptable to ask Ckolivas to do some updates in this thread and/or give donators a sneak preview at early versions. I know this was not part of the deal but it would be a nice bonus.

Is this bounty for a Litecoin GPU miner only or a CPU+GPU miner?
GPU only miner

currently it is starting to work under linux - I do not see any "special deals" for donors coming Smiley

Last time I checked, CPU mining support was going to be removed from cgminer.

For simplicity I'll be making it a compile time selection for now, default off. This has already been committed to the git tree and will be in the next version. I will no longer be releasing binaries with CPU mining support built in and if it proves innocuous in this fashion, it will be left that way. Should issues arrive, it will be deprecated entirely in a future version.

It appears to be a little trickier than ckolivas at first though, any further contributions will be forwarded to him as a sign of our appreciation at his work Smiley
