The Claymore new eth miner is about 3-5% faster than the ethminer. Is that also faster than 1.0.6?
I have only tested 1.0.7 against claymore's on a 7950 in ETH only mode. 1.0.7 has a different kernel but shouldn't affect speed on AMD that much. My miner showed slightly higher hash rates but that could be due to a different way of calculation.
Is your 1.0.7 faster than the previous versions of 1.0.6 or 1.0.4? Do they use the same mining kernel?
It's a different kernel but not faster on AMD. I had a stab at trying to bring VGRPS usage down to 64 but didn't succeed. As a nice side-effect though, I managed to make it faster on Nvidia GPUs, almost as fast as the CUDA kernel. That can be useful for people who have issue compiling the CUDA kernel (i.e. OSX, Fedora).
it's the 1.07 version private or you will make it public? we need to pay for it?
No, I just need a few people to test it and confirm the new stratum failover feature works. Also, somebody taking the chance to use the native stratum miner with a serious production rig for a longer period to confirm stability would be awesome. I just don't have that hardware
I just pushed a win64 binary here:
https://github.com/Genoil/cpp-ethereum/blob/107/releases/ethminer-0.9.41-genoil-1.0.7b1.zip?raw=trueso is 1.0.7 faster on gtx 970s ?
No it isn't in CUDA mode (-U), although I relaxed the restrictions on block size. They used to be 32/64/128, but now you get just use any multiple of 8. Even not a multiple of 8 but that won't give you any share. Useful block sizes that you could try are 32,64,128, 224, 288, 448 and 896. In my experience it doesn't do that much, although combined with differetn global work sizes, it may yield a bit better results.
In OpenCL mode however (-G), all NVidia GPUs should expect a big boost. Still not on the level of native CUDA, but close.
-- edit-- oh just missed @maxvalls reply. I guess I'll have to look into these issues! Thanks!
-- edit2-- i think i fixed it. binary also updated
