      I have a multi-GPU setup - I use diff worksizes, and it’s fine.

      You are on linux though right?

        Yes, but I also use a config file, which could be it, too.

          I am using config file, plus I have also tried passing -w 48,32 and --worksize 48,32 to command line and it still only generates bins with w48. Take a look at this screenshot:

          The 7870 Pitcairn is what is taking a hit with sgminer5. It’s not a huge hit though, only about 5 Kh/s with w48 instead of w32, but using same config on cgminer 3.7.8 Neoscrypt it generates the bins with w48 and w32 respectively.

            Odd - works for me, so maybe it is a Windows issue.

              Yeah. Maybe I should just bite the bullet and install a Linux distro on my miner.

                Ugh, I hate the AMD OpenCL compiler - not only does it sometimes mangle code, but it is STUPID. This thing should not have graduated from compiler kidnergarten. It’s also full of bugs - I just figured out it’s flat-out ignoring some of my loop unrolling instructions. I wrote a far better chacha round function and my hash on 280X dropped from 270kh/s to under 200kh/s. Now I need to make it into a macro so I can unroll it manually.

                  Hey Wolf0,

                  I really like what you are doing.

                  Sent you 50FTC as small tip.

                  ;)

                      try lowering core clock to 1100 and run w 48 i 15 g2 on 280x/7970 getting between 130 and 150 per card

                      sgminer stable overnigt and still going

                      clocks same as i used with cgminer

                      -I 15 not working, some kernel error( too low memory), im using -I 14 w 48 g2 135khs

                        With SGMiner, you may now set thread concurrency.

                            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.

                                  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.

                                      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

                                          autogen.sh

                                          configure

                                          make all / make install
