Mining
83

Silentarmy v5 is out so i made my changes on it and please test this:

There.
https://github.com/justvanbloom/silentarmy/releases/download/beta1/silentarmy_v3.zip
Please test this on GPU only. should finally increase sols.

e.g
./silentarmy --use 1 -c stratum+tcp://equihash.eu.nicehash.com:3357#xnsub -u 1GaGRtcCjb7ThaDgDLjgVwV8fctzEf12ct.test -p x --instances=1

and send me the sols you archived. THX!

84

Hmmm…

I have a Intel Iris Graphics 6100 1536 MB and I only get 3-4 Sols.

CPU I get 11-13 sols. So I will have to stick to CPU mining on the MAC with V4.

85

Increased to 30 sol/s with beta3.

86

In work now on v5
v5 changes:
-GPU mining
-new GUI
-pool selection
-worker
-threads / gpu seperated
-multimine gpu and cpu
-temperature watcher and alerts
-logs
-extra: emailing by failures
-extra: api!

Hello!
is the the AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB included in this version?

I have a macpro 3 GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon E5

32 GB 1866 MHz DDR3

AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB

Thanks!

95

I downloaded the file “silentarmy v3” but I do not know how to do the test on my computer. Any instructions on how to do it?

Maybe a silly question, but what’s the syntax in the gui for adding a worker name for pools that require one?

Hi,

Been doing some CUDA/OpenCL stress testing for local studio render farm purposes (redoing (V)LAN and automatisation), lots of GTX980 and up machines. Did OpenCL for fun on my everyday Mac Pro 2013 to prove the point. Anyways here you go:

$ ./silentarmy --list
Devices on platform "Apple":
  ID 0: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1620 v2 @ 3.70GHz
  ID 1: AMD Radeon HD - FirePro D700 Compute Engine
  ID 2: AMD Radeon HD - FirePro D700 Compute Engine

Running on both GPU (CPU excluded)

./silentarmy --use=1,2 --instances=1 -c stratum+tcp://equihash.eu.nicehash.com:3357/#xnsub ...

Gives

Total 118.6 sol/s [dev1 58.9, dev2 62.0] 48 shares

Two causual GTX980’es @MSW10 give ~570 sol/s :wink:

101

and

 --instances=4

as this is max contextCLCount per card gives same result.

102

And power difference between Mac being used “normally” (100-100W) versus “GPU full on” (260-270W) is ~160 kW/h. So 118 sol/s for 160 kW/h and GPU @65 deg at maximum crancked fan using Macs Fan Control. Do your math, miners. :wink:
Anyways, in my case - thanks for another way to benchmark GPGPU!
