New version 2011-07-17 getting a lot of:

Code:

2011-07-18 01:24:09: Listener for "bitcoinmonkey": [18/07/2011 01:24:09] Kernel error: Unusual behavior from OpenCL. Hardware problem?

I have never seen that message during my tests with the release version of the kernel. What OS, which SDK are you on?

I wonder if he copied over the init.py file.

Can you make another version that includes all the recent changes and __init__.py does not need to changed?
thanks

Why? Just unzip in the kernels/phatk/ directory.

Main reason is some people like to use this kernel with poclbm. The 7-11 works, but the newest doesn't because it requires changes in __init__.py which is specific to phoenix. BOARBEAR is asking for a version that includes all the additional improvements since 7-11 that doesn't require any changes to __init__.py.

It is impossible to create a version of this kernel that works without modifications in the main miner software. As I wrote, there are values and variables, that the kernel uses and which are precalculated in the miner software and then passed as parameters to the kernel. A miner, which doesn't pass the required parameters will not work without beeing modified, sorry.

You guys are free to mod the kernel for yourself to revert the changes, which require a modded miner software and only take the ones, which can work without.

no sure your reasoning, but if you want that, just grab the 7-11 version.. the version before this latest.

You dont gain all that much from the changes in __init__.py if you really want to do with out, you wont be shooting yourself in the foot. So grab the last version.

Personally I appreciate even the smallest increase.. so thanks for the work

I get lots of 'unusual opencl behavior. hardware problem?' on the latest version, using a fresh Catalyst 11.6 driver (not CPU buggy hotfix) on WinXP on two different miners, going back to stock phoenix and 07-11 kernel is fine.

Updated from 2011-07-11 to 2011-07-17 kernel. Hash rate increased from 325 to 327 on 6950, and from 280 to 281 on 6870 all at stock clocks. Not a big increase but it's always nice to have a few mhashes for free. Keep up good work!

2011-07-07 was the best for me so far and with 2011-07-17 I see no improvements - the speed is 1758-1760 as before with the same fluctuations.

With this version on my 5870: 410.58/411.6 -> 413.44/414Mhash/s

But on my HD5850, i see a decrease of a minimum of 0.50 mhash/s

Important: since version 2011-07-17 a modified version of __init__.py (for the Phoenix 1.5 miner) is included in this package and has to be used!
The kernel won't work for other Miners without modifications to them, see kernel.cl for further infos.

The new version 2011-07-17 is ready for download

. Should be faster on 58XX and 69XX cards again.
This version will only work, if you use it with Phoenix and the supplied __init__.py file because of modifications to kernel variables!

A very big thank you goes to user Vince for input and ideas!

When you release the next version, please explain whats changed in __init__.py.
I'm using fpgaminer's poclbm w/ phatk: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=19169.0
I'd like to see if we can make your phatk kernel still work with that.

Thanks!
