[Dev] NeoScrypt GPU Miner - Public Beta Test
-
I have found that the WU is directly related to the difficulty.
In the block factory pool, you can set the difficulty that you want to work at, so I’ve been trying different values as the hashrate has climbed and watched the changes.
My setup (exact same mining settings), with difficulty:
256 will get a WU of around 1.0 to 1.3
128 will get a WU of around 2.3 to 3.5
64 will get a WU of around 220 to 340
But looking at the shares in the pool, the diff of 64 shows the the most erratic hashrate, usually balancing out to a lower average than the higher diff, with lower WU, but overall more effecting hashing.

I had a dumb question, and deleted it…

aah…

Here’s a newer sgminer-5.1.0-dev build (2014-11-13) for everyone:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B06N0FYvyFgDMWJ3b1F6VHpoZnc/view?usp=sharing
It includes AMD OCL DLLs from Catalyst 14.6 RC2 (OpenCL 1.2 AMD-APP (1526.3)) and the latest Wolf0 kernel from github.
It includes some bat and vbs files I use to auto delete bins and set environmental variables.
Also has other small fixes from sgminer devs that aren’t neoscrypt related.
Here’s the latest AMD OCL DLL archive I have put together:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B06N0FYvyFgDQUdQTjVJeC0xblk/view?usp=sharing
It now has 14 sets of AMD OCL DLLs from Catalyst drivers. 14.6 RC2 is still the fastest.

The 290x is a bit of a mystery atm. Not quite sure why an AMD HD7950 can outperform it on neoscrypt.
I think I know.

I would be happy to know the answer, as I have 4 GPU’s that get out performed by lesser GPU’s…

Their compute is too fast relative to memory speed, I think - they need more work. TMTO will help.
-
Time-Memory Trade-Off?
I do think that the extra memory on my 290(x)'s is unused… (not that I know enough to tell for sure, but from what I have tried seems to imply that)

Yes - use less memory per thread, run more threads.

Is this going to take modding the kernel or just changing some variables in it?

I think I know.
Of course you do. Wolves are intelligent creatures :)

SMix has to be modded accordingly. A variable change is needed in the miner, as well.

So me me not knowing CL very well and rooting around in the kernel and tinkering, isn’t gonna help as it needs part of the routine re-written.
That probably won’t stop me until you release something… 8)

It seems to suck on other cards, though…

LOL, since I don’t have any ‘other cards’, I don’t mind…

litebar moved on neoscrypt and they dont even care to release wallets…
private mining for now or compile your own.
stay out of those guys
i was trying to solo mine, found out wallet is out of date…
first wasted lot of time why miner will not work, it will not.
and just now im not interested compiling my own wallet
private mining goes on…
and sg miner 5.1 has some issues when solo! why need to use proxy? solo prevented?
as wolf said, i hate when my miner is not doing what its told to do, why?

377b solo mines just fine… 8)

It’s not ported yet - neoscrypt support in it is kind of a hack.

Did you ever get in contact with the BFGminer guy? He seems pretty solid on his coding, and has agreed to add neoscrypt.
And I’d really love to be able to run my asics and neoscrypt off of the same app.

He’s quite insane, but a good coder.
