Hi, can I mine with GG some forks of ETH or only ETH is supported? And GG it's for both AMD & NVIDIA cards?

Somebody reported in this thread it's possible.
Probably not every ETH fork can be mine by GG, trying ti mine some fork with gtx1060 and getting an error

So what is the problem can be with it?

Well, I need to know, at the very least, which coin you were trying to mine and which pool you were trying to connect.

Hi, zawawa
I'm trying to mine this coin https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-arabianchain-dubaicoin-dbix-smart-contracts-from-dubai-to-the-world-1811194, the pool is http://213.154.202.174:5550
May be I'm doing something wrong?
I'll try to mine some other ETH fork, it's became an interesting to myself)

Tried to mine this coin https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annmusic-musicoin-blockchain-upgrades-to-v30quantitative-tightening-1776113 with pool http://musicoin.nomnom.technology/#/, mining with GG don't even started.
Seems that GG do not working with different ETH forks or maybe some of them.

Ah, I see... There is a patch for sgminer-gm and nicehash. That should work with suprnova, then.

Look like im getting 28.8 vs 29.9 on claymore. Not sure if its running your ASM version though.

The ASM version is only for Ellesmere for now. I will prepare binaries for other cards shortly.

Yea I have Ellsemere cards but its loading the normal .bin kernels. I did remove the pre-built .bin and built new kernal binaries using ethash-new.cl in /binary-kernal by moving it to /kernal and that bumped up the speed to 29.2, but still a bit short from claymore.

The current version was working fine with Ubuntu, though. Strange, strange...
I just pushed a fix to the repo anyway.

got an update from the suprnova front.

just had a similar problems with claymore miner and he has a special mode to mine on suprnova

Code:
-esm Ethereum Stratum mode. 0 - eth-proxy mode (for example, dwarpool.com), 1 - qtminer mode (for example, ethpool.org),
2 - miner-proxy mode (for example, coinotron.com), 3 - nicehash mode. 0 is default.

And for suprnova it is the nicehash mode  (-esm 3)

Maybe that helps digging further why gg-miner doesnt work with it.

For me it's quite the opposite...using 2 threads gains additional +0.3/0.4 but too many hw errors.
As you can see in the picture 29.42(1 thread) does gg vs 29.8 on claymore vs 30 (2 threads gg).
EDIT: Did some timings mods and now hw errors are acceptable ~1/2 every minute.


Your running 4.10 kernel...im on the stock 4.4. I think thats where the difference is from.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B72yKpOokCMcVnV5LWNMS2ltYmM
I've uploaded some of my kernels. 4.10/4.11 are tested and working fine.
Just remember to update only opencl packages from amdgpu-pro 16.60.
Ditto about the asm ...

It does load the .bins in binary-kernal, but how do you use the asm file? (ethash-new-gcn3-ocl20.asm)

It is Smiley
It's currently hashing with constant 30Mh vs. 29.7 with claymore. But I still have to copy binary-kernel/* to $gatelessgate_install_dir/bin

I am still wondering how your temp/fans were working but mine are not...Did you start gg with root priv and mining GPU as main one?

Can you confirm that I'm doing it right?
There are 2 folders
kernels(default kernels of sgminer and equihash.cl)
binary-kernels( your opencl binary kernels + ethash-new.cl using asm)
I think copying kernels from binary-kernel folder to main gatelessgate install directory uses your last kernel...
I'm used to old sgminer style, all kernels in same folder with executable, but I might be wrong...

I just pushed to the repo an optimized GCN assembly version of ethash-new.cl for RX 470/480.
Each card should get a 1Mh/s boost with it. If this actually works, then I will extend its support to GCN1/GCN3 devices.
(I sold all of my GCN2 cards a while back...)

That's not optimized - you flipped the SLC and GLC bits, which will likely make it a tad SLOWER; it did when I tried that.

I was expecting just SLC (bypass L2) to help, though I recall Wolf's comments about GLC (bypass L1) actually helping.  I'd even expect GLC to hurt performance if you weren't very careful to ensure data was read in 64-byte chunks.

p.s.  There's also some easy optimizations to do with instruction reordering (though they might not make much difference in performance).  For example:
Code:
/*d11c6a3e 01a9013c*/ v_addc_u32      v62, vcc, v60, 0, vcc
/*2a7e62b2         */ v_xor_b32       v63, 50, v49
/*dc5c0000 4000003d*/ flat_load_dwordx4 v[64:67], v[61:62] slc glc
/*dc5c0000 3b00003b*/ flat_load_dwordx4 v[59:62], v[59:60] slc glc
/*bf8c0171         */ s_waitcnt       vmcnt(1) & lgkmcnt(1)

The v_xor_b32 can be moved to after the flat_load_dwordx4.


That's a good catch. I was actually thinking about automating this kind of instruction reordering.
My compiler driver rewrites the output of LLVM/Clang, so it shouldn't be that difficult.
I really want to combine this feature with register usage analysis.
