thx dude^^ gave me alot of extrapower on my 5850's (995/1250) (under 370 before -> 410 with phateus/405 with yours)
[setup = 11.8, 2.5 SDK, 2 5850 @ 995/1250 (watercooled), phoenix 1.50 (-v -q 2 -a 50 -u http://y:[email protected]:8337/ -k phatk VECTORS4 BFI_INT WORKSIZE=128 AGGRESSION=13 DEVICE=0/1)]

some things that got to my mind:

i compared your 8-4 to phateus 2.1 today, let the whole setup run with the same settings for a few hours. Though the phoenix-instance with you kernel showed less MH/s, i got more accepted shares (~10%) and less stales (less than halve) on the same pool in the same time running.

since 7-11 i get 2-3 rejects EVERYTIME longpoll pushes new work, doesnt matter which pool, which clocks or which settings (yours produces fewer than phat's kernel, though).

heres a screenshot of my test (phateus is left, dia is right -> had alil under 1700 shares and alil over 20 rejects) . Watch the left one at 15.05.42 or 15.05.28 or the right one at 15.05.41 or 15.06.02 to see what i mean with the rejects that are caused by longpoll (that was mining at eligius, but its the same with every pool).

My miners went from 355 to 362 on 6950 based systems running ubuntu natty 64 bit.  I tried various flags, and this is what worked best for me:

-k phatk AGGRESSION=12 BFI_INT FASTLOOP=false VECTORS VECTORS2 WORKSIZE=128

WORKSIZE=256 was slightly slower. I tried VECTORS4 just for fun, and it dropped down to 300 or so.

My 6950s are running at 880Mhz w/ 800 mhz memory clock.  (no shader unlock)




Thank you for all of your hard work.  Donation sent.

How do you start Phoenix? What are your clock speeds?

Dia

phoenix -u http://xxx:[email protected]:8332 -k phatk DEVICE=0 VECTORS BFI_INT FASTLOOP=false AGGRESSION=12 WORKSIZE=256

clock 982
memory 352
voltage - default

thanks

If you use VECTORS you won't use Vectors at all with the current pre-release version (the switch VECTORS is ignored). You HAVE to use the switch VECTORS2, take a lookt at the first posting.

Dia

when I use VECTORS2 mhash drop with 50, from 454 to 404

yes I replace all files in the package

Edit: Did you replace the Phoenix init file, too?

strange with card 5870:
with vectors - 454mhash
with vectors2 - drop with 50mhash
with vectors4 - drop with 200mhash

What kernel version, what driver version, which SDK, please post command line for Phoenix ... seems very strange to me.

Dia

i just install the new drivers:
AMD-APP-SDK-v2.5-Windows-64
11-7_vista64_win7_64_dd_ccc_ocl
2011-08-04 kernel (pre-release)

To all happy new kernel users, there is one thing you should know ... there have been NO donations since 2011-07-31, which makes me a bit sad.

It's my free time that I put in here (it were many hours till now) and the motivation is not only to get a "Thank you!". Remember, you guys generate more BTC with the kernel mods. It doesn't matter if it's my mod, Phateus mod or any others mod ... just be a little thankful and you keep a free and fast kernel + a motivated kernel mixer Diapolo Wink.

No offense to all the great people who already donated a few bitcents or even more, who helped me testing this, who helped me fix bugs or who added great ideas into this work!

Regards,
Diapolo

Code:
-k phatk AGGRESSION=12 BFI_INT FASTLOOP=false VECTORS VECTORS2 WORKSIZE=256
My 5770@970/300 improve from 220 -> 223 MH/s
Cyclone 6850@1030/300 nothing changes, still 280 MH/s
not test ''VECTORS4'' switch yet
anyone have another configure switch for further improvement?

New version was just released, it should be the fastest for 69XX cards:
Download version 2011-08-04 (pre-release): http://www.mediafire.com/?upwwud7kfyx7788

This is the preferred switch for Phoenix in order to achieve comparable performance:
Code:
-k phatk AGGRESSION=12 BFI_INT FASTLOOP=false VECTORS VECTORS2 WORKSIZE=256
or
Code:
-k phatk AGGRESSION=12 BFI_INT FASTLOOP=false VECTORS VECTORS2 WORKSIZE=128

Please test this version with SDK 2.4 / SDK 2.5! SDK 2.1 performance seems worse, but at least it should work. Report any errors and problems here and let me know what you think.
Have a look at your cards temperatures, I got a report, that they may be lower, which would be great Smiley.

Regards,
Dia

Well I'll be damned, you do mention its for 69xx range but Im on 5850 and I got a boost of 9mh/s per card using the 08-04 pre-release versuin with VECTORS VECTORS4 , hot damn Smiley

Just to give everyone an idea of the gains:

stock phatk: 400mh maxed out (1000/180)
08-04 phatk: 440mh maxed out (1000/180)
08-04 phatk: 475mh maxed out (1100/180)
08-04 phatk: 500mh+ is my guess (1200/180) <---- This is in the pipeline, mostly just for interest sake I will be LN2 cooling it and running voltage at 1.4v Wink card might die but 500mh will be sexy.

I modified the shipping phatk Kernel from Phoenix 1.50. I now get round about 13 MHash/s more on my 5830 (up from 310 to 323)!
The modified version seems to work, Hashes are accepted and no errors are observed so far.

Brilliant. I also run 5830s and got the same result as you, from ~310 to 322. Keep up the good work, myself and every other miner who uses phatk cannot overstate how much we appreciate your efforts.

Hey guys, I'm making good progress for 69XX users and need a few to test my current version as I want to mature it before release.

- only 69XX users / users on VLIW4 design cards
- I need Win and Linux users
- I need SDK 2.1 / SDK 2.4 and SDK 2.5 users

Drop me a PM, if you want to participate and meet the requirements, I will then send you a DL link! If you have received the files the test results may be posted here and may be freely discussed, so that's no shitty NDA or something Smiley. I only want to make sure that the kernel works and can compete with phatk 2.1 Cheesy.

I'm sorry to say, but 58XX users are better with phatk 2.1 for now :-/.

Regards,
Dia
