CUDA SILENTARMY v4+ Windows Build

I finished a build of a CUDA version of silent army. It is located here: Release v0.4e Quick Release for update to silent army (CUDA and OCL) · maztheman/nheqminer · GitHub

let me know what you think.

Anyone tested this?
I tried to run this .exe file and nothing happened.

Just ran this. So weird. Verified speed with pool.

Well I just copied those files to NiceHash folder and I’m getting lower speed than before.
GTX 1070 only doing 30sol/s
With stock NiceHash settings it’s getting at least 34

Could you please reenable the colored output…with CONSOLE_COLORS in PREPROCESSOR Directive?

And the cuda solver has an issue:
[21:37:34][0x00002dac] Speed [300 sec]: 36.2226 I/s, 68.4205 Sols/s
cuda solved 6
cuda solved 1
cuda solved 0
cuda solved 3
cuda solved 2
cuda solved 2
cuda solved 4
cuda solved 2

thats the output running on the screen like there is no hell

Which GPU is giving you 68 sols/s ?

You have to add -cs to the command line to use the new cuda silent army

Also I updated it again based off the latest innovation over at silentarmy!!
get it here: Release v0.4f More Silentarmy V4 Optimizations!! · maztheman/nheqminer · GitHub

io: ug i thought i removed that code…try -cs to use new cuda silent army

-t 0 -cs -cd 0

what command line did you use?

Okay i give it a shot.

also remember that -cb and -ct can change the block size and threads per block…i had to monkey around with my gtx 650 before i got “okay” results.

Oh banana, This will not work out of the box with nicehash, I would have to default to using the silentarmy cuda in order for that to happen…

let me know what you think its the most sane defaults…

Well nothing happenes with SA Cuda…just loads and high the clock but :;

try reducing the blocks like -cb 60 or threads like -ct 256

and what blocksize and threads are you using? i have the same gpu.

GTX 650, -ct 64 -cb 64

i might have to turn down the thread block size instead of SM_COUNT * 32 to maybe SM_COUNT * 10 ?

I usually have no problems with 64 threads also the blocksize is what i also normally have. when using tromp solver.
All gpus have 99% load and 22% mem controller load. but crippling at 7sol/s

Something strange i noticed.
Speed [300 sec]: 112.812 I/s, 10.6195 Sols/s shouldn’t it be around 200…

my compiled verison from nheq 03b looks your calculations are wrong :smiley:

nheqminer.exe -l stratum.zcash.nicehash.com:3357 -u t1ZQLKLXDc4mYBAuBwbKy5B4PjaVYmmSiME -t 0 -cd 0 -cb 60 -ct 128

This gives me around 30 sol/s with GTX 1070.

What does this do:

nheqminer.exe -l stratum.zcash.nicehash.com:3357 -u t1ZQLKLXDc4mYBAuBwbKy5B4PjaVYmmSiME -t 0 -cs cb 60 -ct 128 -cd 0

I didnt do any work on cuda_tromp. and Also you can try:

nheqminer.exe -l stratum.zcash.nicehash.com:3357 -u t1ZQLKLXDc4mYBAuBwbKy5B4PjaVYmmSiME -t 0 -od 0

Your calculations are wrong of sol/s …
