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

http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=59090490226848298558

Sorry no same with the changed main.c :

The difference is in the solver ..

SA v5 Cygwin r4 port strange issue, 1070x6 rig goes 500Sol/s, but when i disconnect TeamViewer from rig, speed go down to 200 and further. Even monitor plugged. Its like port need to some load to main? card to set driver right P-state or 2D/3D mode. Win 10 1607 Drivers 375.70

If your motherboard supports IOMMU you can setup virtualbox and install ubuntu 16.04 on it then assign cards to ubuntu VM and test under linux.
I have similar setup but my AMD IOMMU seems to be broken and can't fix it for now.

I have GA-990FXA w/ same issues, even not possible to run installing ubuntu. IOMMU, SATA, AHCI parameters doesnt work

@Marc @Genoil and other SA devs,

In v5, running two instances does not give more S/s (at least in my experience). This could be a way for improvement. in v3 running second instance was bringing +25-30%.

If I look at the new competitor Optiminer, he's results with two instances show what you could obtain with SAv5 + 25% with second instance.

Good luck and much thanks for good work.

There seems to be a problem with the patch. I will pull down the new version. Sorry guys!

Latest v5 has some issues with Pre Maxwell v2 cards.
Returned on v4 with extremal's patches and again doing 22/25 S/s on K2200
Windows version seems affected too...due to using latest code.

Hello,

can someone tell me which time.h is used here..boost?

https://github.com/lhl/silentarmy/commit/509561ec34dd46975f732bd5c73859d8a5d27600

Try to compile but it states that the struct timespec time_diff is not defined

libc

http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/nanosleep.2.html

thx

I try to porting it to windows..just the problem is that windows don't have these..only timeval.
The other problem is CLOCK_MONOTONIC is also not available under windows :-(

I just uploaded a new version of my Windows build of SILENTARMY v5:

https://mega.nz/#F!iwYQhI6S!2vl0D3jz3fH3-bZxHUurBg

The high CPU usage with NVIDIA cards should be fixed with this release.

i get only about 35s/s on 1070 vs 86 on r3
gpu usage is only 30%

Is there any way to change clock/voltages/fan speed on Ubuntu 16.04 AMD GPU PRO driver?
