[Dev] NeoScrypt GPU Miner - Public Beta Test
-
Finally got it compiled and could test a bit :)
Two things I noticed:
- on a 64Bit compile the A:xxx Value in the first line of the Display reads: A:22323232343463467722132415…
this looks like a 23bit overflow and happened on the first versions of cgminer-neoscryp, too
- Stratum doesn’t work for me, longoll works fine
errormessage: ‘message received: unknown method’
I run against a p2pool, that is working fine for cgminer.
- hashrate slightly increased on my HD 8400 GPU ( I know, I know, it’s just a laptop GPU.
Use my SGMiner 5 compile for neoscrypt.

earlier was 4.2.2 version, is there another outhere?

It’s actually SG5 - the dev branch is misnamed.

Wolf0’s compile is a development snapshot of sgminer5. Every development snapshot of sgminer I have used has had the version as 4.2.2 even though it’s really version 5.
Edit: Wolf beat me to it

I used this link: https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer
Do you have forked it?

No, that’s the link - use the develop branch.
-
That’s exactly what I did:
git clone --recursive -b develop git(at)github.com:sgminer-dev/sgminer.git
configure
make all / make install

Odd - I have none of the issues you described.
-
can you try to mine on pool http://p2pool.neoscrypt.de:19327 ?
User= your wallet address or any other name
Pass= any
If you start the miner in text mode with -D and -P you will see, that the miner switches to long-poll, but does not use stratum.
If you force stratum with stratum+tcp://p2pool.neoscrypt.de:19327 and -fix-protocol you’ll see (or at least I see) a message ’ no pool to get work from’
The only difference I see for the rest of the problems is, that I have a NVidia 750ti, no AMD based card.
-
I’m using SGMiner 5 on yaamp.com right this minute. I’ll check the debug output, though.
Nope - I see gen_stratum_work() and all other kinds of stratum stuff.

and how about old cards 5800 6800 6900 series?

It should run. Not gonna be great on them - the kernel code is pretty bad copy+pasted CPU code, except for what I edited, and 6xxx have hardware vectors, so they REALLY could use OpenCL-specific vector types in the kernel. Even better if you vectorize the algorithms; I haven’t thought much about Blake2S, but vectorizing salsa and chacha so that the card can execute 4 integer operations at once would be child’s play.

What would it take to get you to vectorize the kernel for 6000 series cards? Pls Wolf. Pls. :)

I already gave you guys something; besides, I don’t have a pre-GCN card to test on.
-
It’s ok Wolf, you have already done so much.
insanid, the official team will look into that for you I hope.
Let’s see what we can do.
-
Wolf0, and how to get 270 kh/s on 280x as you (with SG v5 on win 7/8)?

Rewrite pretty much all of the kernel; also, make sure the 280X has Hynix memory - Elpida seems to do less. Then again, I only have 2 280X cards, so it could be one just sucks, too - but I’d guess it’s the memory.

Thank you Wolf. We appreciate your work.

o_O
Wolf0, you said this:
Oddly, even on my own in-dev kernel, my 290X at 1125/1600 (memory type unknown) does 250kh/s, while my Hynix 280X does 255kh/s - 265kh/s at 1150/1500… weird.
And how this get on win7 with SG5?
255 kh/s )) I wanna it )

We all want Wolf’s personal kernels, but he’s said a few times that he won’t be giving them to us. He’s already done enough. Let the Wolf be free.
