Re: [ANN] sgminer v5 - new unified multi-algorithm on-the-fly kernel switching miner

OK I got it running. What I had to do was cherry pick 3 commits to bring develop branch up to even with v5_0 branch. I was having the same segfault with the sgminer-dev/sgminer:develop as with your badman74/sgminer:develop branch.

The commits I cherry picked were:

82b5320 - https://github.com/badman74/sgminer/commit/82b5320f36913f3c330633021a4800ce89c4ccc2#diff-d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e

dbe0263 - https://github.com/badman74/sgminer/commit/dbe0263c2d9d12d2595d2aece69d1d1d5d22ed5e#diff-d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e

3ddffaa - https://github.com/badman74/sgminer/commit/3ddffaa915add904d0bfedd25b2b5383cff9035f#diff-d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e

I don't really know how to merge those commits back over into the develop branches of your repo or the sgminer-dev repo on github and I don't want to mess anything up so if you can check that out, let me know.

So far, without any additional config changes over my v5_0 binaries I am seeing 2-4% increase in hash rates.

Would you mind summarizing the new config options I should be trying out? and which values you think are best? (my cards are 7950s and R9 270 non-x)

ok those commits are merged to my develop branch
also fixed sifcoin and groestlcoin
i think that was all of the ones i broke....

Code:

"hamsi-expand-big" : "7",
"hamsi-short" : true,
"blake-compact" : true,
"keccak-unroll" : "8",
"luffa-parallel" : true,

are the speedups for 290(x) my older cards need all of them set to false or 0
each combination should build a different bin if it will make a change so just try different things

With the new develop branch I can't use my old bins for the 7950's because of the keccak-unroll, so not upgrade it since the keccak was in.

have you tried using my develop branch (if you build yourself) or my mod binary to build new bins and see if you can get the same or better hashes?
