oh my, Shocked
I just updated from .74 on a windows 7 pro and I get this
ccminer.exe is not a valid win 32 application

Release 76 will not work with old drivers. you need to upgrade to the latest.

yep 76 is a 50% slow down for neo scrypt  from 586 to 234
 and quark is up 1.04 % from 17206 to 17972
time to run two folders

Has anyone compiled r76 for sm5.2 using cuda 6.5 (windows or linux to do a direct comparison with cuda 7.5?
I could only do it with 750ti's on Linux and there was virtually no difference.

Edit: however, they were both slower than 1.5.74-cuda6.5.

The numbers (gpu0/gpu1) both EVGA 750ti SC no OC.


            1.5.74(6.5)    1.5.76(6.5)     1.5.76(7.5)
x11         3090/3145      2985/3050       2980/3045
quark       6360/6450      6335/6380       6340/6400
lyra2v2     4715/4755      4680/4715       4680/4715


What a pain getting this to display correctly, this ain't WYSIWYG.

Have you tried combatability mode.  You can pick what OP version u want it to try to run in.

You on a 32 or 64 bit system or do you have a 32 bit os with a 64 bit system?

OK, I must have forgotten how to do this but

 how would I start, in windows 7, a CMD or used in a CMD scrypt with an affinity of 4.

just trying to keep the work load off the first 2 for the OS
I have looked it up in google but most had their heads in a dark place

I'm not sure why you're asking but the --cpu-affinity can be set in ccminer. If you want to do it
in Windows it's something like: start /affinity

I don't think you have anything to worry about with the cpu load of ccminer, but a cpu miner...

Also should update the code with the cuda version number so it says cuda 7.5 when launched Smiley not important though lol

That is just a hardcoded string and does not reflect how ccminer was actually compiled. A more appropriate comment
would be "optimized for cuda 7.5" unless a system variable is available to read the actual compile environment.

Just replace this code in ccminer.cpp:
Code:
#ifdef WIN32
printf("\tBuilt with VC++ 2013 and nVidia CUDA SDK 6.5\n\n");
#else
printf("\tBuilt with the nVidia CUDA SDK 6.5\n\n");
#endif
with this:
Code:
#ifdef _MSC_VER
printf("Compiled with Visual C++ %d ", _MSC_VER / 100);
#else
#ifdef __clang__
printf("Compiled with Clang %s ", __clang_version__);
#else
#ifdef __GNUC__
printf("Compiled with GCC %d.%d ", __GNUC__, __GNUC_MINOR__);
#else
printf("Compiled with an unknown compiler ");
#endif
#endif
#endif
printf("using Nvidia CUDA Toolkit %d.%d\n\n", CUDART_VERSION / 1000, (CUDART_VERSION % 1000) / 10);


I knew there had to be one, I just couldn't find it.

Unless someone is holding back the mature algos are probably optimal by now. Most of the improvements now
are device specific tweaks. We'll probably have to wait for pascal and sm5.3 (and cuda 8?) for any major improvement
opportunities in software. Hopefully profits will be higher by then.

Not trying to talk smack sp_ but i run 4 x 980ti... and really have never seen any BIG improvements in hashrates. Dont get me wrong i love ur work. but constantly asking for moonies and saying something is a whatever increase and no one really ever seeing it? Kinda bullshit if you ask me.

How much is a BIG improvement?

Ummm atleast what he says?

5% ?

chrysx, i have been running .conf files for ages now under kopiemtu.  I can switch algos like lightning over ssh and can also start and stop mining very quickly with a single command:

mine "stop", "start", and "status"

the .conf files are stored in a known directory. issuing the mine "switch" command cycles through all the conf files in the directory and writes to a miner.conf file which ccminer will read from the next time it's launched with mine "start".

it's very convenient and the reason i've stuck with kopiemtu, even with the broken stats and monitor program.

it would be nice to have all the switches available in ccminer spelled out for usage in JSON-RPC format, instead of the single letter abbreviations in command line mode. (i.e. "algo" instead of "-a")

Way to go! I don't think anyone has managed to use cuda 7.5 to bennifit when mining until now!! on my 980ti cards 1.76 seems to be far more stable then 75, temps are cooler and big improvements on hash rates especially quark.(...)
Neoscrypt is fucking slow with Cuda 7.5

what ? (I understand you want to keep your thread on the top, but at least say something which makes sense...  Grin)
For a small fee, I can troll your thread more often  Grin

DOGFIGHT--
If you submitted some code improvements, I'd be glad to donate.  The main reason that I have not switched immediately to the release dot 75 (and later) is the poor neoscrypt performance.
--scryptr

Djm34 never opensource anything profitable. He just see his algos are tanking because of people like me. He used to sell his optimized lyra2v2 kernals for 1 980ti a piece. Now his work is a waste. I sold my modded private kernal to...

first point first: I never opensource when it isn't profitable (to me), current vtc price is low, no point in opensourcing.
I never sold my optimized lyra2v2 or neoscrypt codes, have a shit load of pm coming from people  asking me for a private version, but I haven't sold one... (yeah I am very picky... not everything is about money... Grin (well actually it wouldn't be profitable to the buyers)

If you can find someone who has it, beside me, then he is just lying (but I am getting accustomed of people inventing stuff about me... still need to clear a few things though  Wink ).
