python OpenCL bitcoin miner

[eleuthria]

That's all you have to do.  Open it in notepad/wordpad, change the lines in BitcoinMiner.cl, and see if your speed goes up or down.  At this point nobody has been able to pinpoint exactly why it is slower for some and faster for others.

I think I do I think its got to do with what SDk you are using I think this is faster using v2.4 and slower with v2.2. My theory anyway

With the H == 0 mod, I get about a 2.5 Mhash/s gain on my non overclocked HD 5770.
From about 166 Mhash/s to about 168.5 Mhash/s using -f 7.
If I lower the -f switch to less than 7, I can get a couple more Mhash/s but the cpu usage will rise and increase the power consumption.

Intel Core i7 860 with 8gb ram
Windows 7 64bit
HD 5770 (not overclocked)
Catalyst Version:   11.2   
Stream Version: Not sure. Whatever came with the driver. Probably 2.4

6990, 2.4 11.4, 7 x64 Ultimate, +8 mh/s or so, from 327 to 335

1.15v, 900 core 1350 mem, I play games so I don't gimp the memory clock

What OS is this on?

Wow great hash rate, besides the OS whats your core and mem clock speed. Have you tried downvolting the vcore?

I am running dual 6990 at 0.935 vcore with 750 core and 625 mem clockspeed. Apparently down memclock only works when core is at 750. Running at -v -w 128 -f 0 on unmod poclbm I get 288 mhash/s per core.

Fixed my old post with some more infos.

With the mod i got  + 8 M hash/sec on my 5870.

Windows 7 pro x64

m0mchill,

just sent you a donation for all the sterling work that your miner has done for me .... moved over to phoenix now but your efforts were appreciated.

cheers,

moa

I see a lot of people talking about the "mod" and playing around with a bunch off -v -w, etc. How do you use them, and what do they do? Do they give you higher mh/s?

Also, why am I not able to have any other programs open while mining? If I have anything open, or open an application during mining, my computer freezes and I have to reboot.

[m0mchil]

New version is up. Changes:

- BFI_INT (~10% performance improvement)
- TCP keep-alive

[Grinder]

I'm getting verification failed, check hardware on the first block it finds every time. Same setup worked with the old version and works with phoenix. Debian, OpenCL 2.1, 5970.

[m0mchil]

Grinder, it would be really nice if you mention what your setup consists of. Thanks

[Grinder]

I updated my post almost immediately with some info. Do you need to know anything else? Parameters are -d 1 -w 128 -f 0 -r 2

Hm. No errors if I add -v. Same thing happens on a 5850 on the same system, although I did get one accepted before it exited when I tried.

Working great on HD 6950s.

[vuce]

Works great. I get pretty much the same hashrate as with phoenix, but the number of submitted shares is ~7% higher (or maybe the last 3 hours were just extremely lucky).
