Tried it out for the first time and I do see some noticable gains.



5850 @ 970/350
GUIMiner 2011-7-1

poclbm opencl - 410-413Mh
phoenix phatk - 408-413Mh

with your modified kern - 415-416.4Mh

Guys, I introduced a small glitch, which produces an OpenCL compiler warning in version 07-07. For stability reasons please change line 77:

old:
u W[123];

new:
u W[124];

I missed sharound(123), which writes to W[123], which is undefined, because it's out of range. Sorry for that!
Will upload a fixed version shortly (only includes the change above and stays 07-07).

Edit:
Download 07-07 fixed: http://www.mediafire.com/?o7jfp60s7xefrg4

I have a feature request

Can you please make it work with intel openCL?

thank you

I know that Intel recently released and OpenCL gold SDK ... the kernel uses standard OpenCL commands and an AMD extension only for BFI_INT / BITALIGN. I see no reason why it should not work. Have you got some error logs for me? You know that for Intel it will only use the CPUs!?

version 2011-07-06 gives best over all speed. 0.500 faster then my modded one but opening firefox drops speed from 277 down to 233 where my one only drops 2mh/s. Probably just the way phatk works since iv never used the stock one.

version 2011-07-07 is all over the place. jumps between 255-280 without firefox open so don't know if its faster or slower. With firefox its more stable then older version and drops to 252-258

Im using it with poclbm.exe -v -w 256 (128 gave same result) on 6850 overclocked/underclocked and 2.1 SDK.

I discovered a MH/sec drop while, using Firefox, too. It has to be related with the new GPU acceleration that FF implemented in 4.0 and up.

Excellent.

It looks like this SDK 2.1 bugfix is popular!  Perhaps now people will stop telling me to use SDK 2.4.

Thanks Diapolo for the fix and I'm glad I was able to help.


It was only possible to fix it that fast, because you showed me the log files and error output! So we helped eachother, thanks too!

SDK 2.1 working for 5h now.

Newest version seems to behave more stable (less delta max-min). Speed is about 0.5MHash higher, but it can be just impression.

808.6 MH/sec max now (up 1-2% at least) from 7-6-11 to 7-7-11

Well to be perfectly honest and objective 0.5% increase won't make any difference even with my setup  Roll Eyes At least not in terms of financial benefits Smiley

But I don't mean to belittle your work - well done Smiley

Well finally I can see some improvement.

With todays version I got from 1748 to 1758 so ~10Mhash increase.

This is for 4x 5870 @ 960Mhz Core & 300Mhz Memory
SDK 2.1


Seems like good news for SDK 2.1 users, right Wink?

Excellent work on this kernel.  It seems like the original author got to a point where he thought he had improved performance to almost the max, but you are progressing very nicely!

This kernel will cause poclbm to exit after running for a while.
I have tested several times, after few hours poclbm will be gone and my machine left there doing nothing

AMD5870 with SDK 2.5

That's the first report I get with that problem. Any other poclbm users with that observation?

Dia

I reported it twice in this same thread...

It only happens in one of my cards (I have 4 5870's, and I have one that its an identical model that works fine). In phoenix what happens is that it will give a mistake about a kernel mistake and will continue mining (I suspect phoenix reloads the kernel).

Went from 433/Mhash to 440/Mhash on 5870. Overclocked to 970Mhz.
