new to this. how do you upload an image saved on ubuntu?
You mean a picture? Save it in any online service, like imgur (http://imgur.com/)
Then, insert the link to it here.
Got it?

I didn't remove +2, added another +2
+2 not need anymore for all platforms.COLL_DATA_SIZE_PER_TH best *5 for AMD and *6 (or *7) for NV Pascal.

Can you share your changes ?
All default, no changes

It is shared memory, and NR_SLOTS=12, so NR_SLOTS+2=14 bytes, and it is not aligned by 4 byte memory bank size... I tryed to fix it(make +2 bytes offset, seems getting another 1-2%, but difficult to confirm it.
I see no difference.Edit: NVidia no difference, but AMD RX480 faster by 1-1,5% when remove "+2".

gives +5% on 1070(confirmed).
You are right for GTX1070, went from 70 to 73 sols/sI didn't remove +2, added another +2

I get 70sol/s on the 1070 with the latest SA kernel windows port
But zcash is currently being harvested by kernels that produce 200% more

one question about this code
Code:
__local uchar *first_words = &first_words_data[(NR_SLOTS+2)*tlid];
And changing
Code:
#define COLL_DATA_SIZE_PER_TH (NR_SLOTS * 5)
to
Code:
#define COLL_DATA_SIZE_PER_TH (NR_SLOTS * 7)
gives +5% on 1070(confirmed).

Is it better to do --instances=2 or --instances=1?
What are people running with for this switch that gives the best results?

just tried all versions of the windows port.. weird problem with 2 rigs... 1 rig is 6 RX 470's and it will only do 20sol/s on each card but when i installed on another rig thats exactly the same(OS/drivers/hardware) they do 76sol each... same with another set of rigs that are 290/290x mixed ...1 works awsome,1 very slow 23ish sols.. cant figure out what the difference is that is causing it..

yup...faster than SAv5. But I'm sure SA will catch up soon
Edit: maybe not as stable, just had a crash.
Yes it's faster, with 3 Rx 480 I've got from ~265 sol/s with silentarmy to 310 - 365 sol/s with this. But it crashed on GPU #0 after ~10 minutes and only a reset helped with it, so my vote is on silentarmy! You are doing great guys!
I had a rig crash and now it crashes each time I start optiminer. The rig just restarts. As I said previously, not stable or it asks too much to my cards...don't now
November 12, 2016, 11:33:51 AM
Any hint why the solver ist 2 times SLOWER in V5 compared to V4 ?
Regards
Try running with ./silentarmy --instances=1 option, it is faster on my nvidia cards with one instance
And replace main.c with this, then rebuild

Sorry no same with the changed main.c :

The difference is in the solver ..

Anyone got an idea what's the cause of the speed decrease with V5 ?
./silentarmy --list
Devices on platform "NVIDIA CUDA":
ID 0: GRID K520
regards
I know it's not much - but I got ~ 15 wit V4 and only 50% with V5 .
or can't the miner be optinized for this chip ?
regards
