lolMiner 0.9.5.1

Change to 0.9.5.1 (Hotfix)

  • Fixed a potential crash issue in grin straum

Changes (From 0.9.3 (Win) / 0.9.4 (Linux))

  • Added support for Grin CuckarooM-29 (hard fork on Jan 16th) on 8G AMD GPUs, use --coin GRIN-C29M to mine with it.
    Hint: The miner will pause until the fork height is reached not to waste energy. Use --coin FLOO-C29M to test the miner in floonet testnet before if you like.
  • Improved C31 performance on 8G cards by ~5% (Windows: relatively to 0.9.3, Linux: relatively to 0.9.4)
  • Navi on Windows now runs same kernels as in Linux
  • Slightly lowered energy use of C31 / C32 solver
  • Added aliases GRIN-C31 and GRIN-C32 for the Cuckatoo solvers (the old names still exist and continue to work)
  • Driver requirement for all GRIN codes: 18.50 for all pre-Navi cards, 19.30 for Navi (Linux); Adrenaline 18.12 for all pre-Navi, Adrenaline 19.10 for Navi

Further news:

Added wiki article about C31 fade out and when changing to C32 makes sense:

  • Radeon VII: 6.1 g/s
  • Vega 64: 4.4 g/s
  • Vega 56: 3.7 g/s
  • RX 5700: 4.0 g/s
  • RX 570: 2.2 g/s

GRIN-C31 (stock clocks, tested using amdgpu-pro 19.30)

Note: Windows speeds on V56 / V64 / VII are ~7% lower due to a driver issue that prevents to use all optimizations
Note #2: ROCm speeds often 5% quicker then in this table when available

  • Radeon VII: 1.9 g/s
  • Vega 64: 1.3 g/s
  • Vega 56: 1.07 g/s
  • RX 5700: 1.07 g/s
  • RX 570: 0.63 g/s

GRIN-C32 (stock clocks, tested using amdgpu-pro 19.30)

  • Radeon VII: 0.5 g/s
  • Vega 64: 0.4 g/s
  • Vega 56: 0.32 g/s
  • RX 5700: 0.31 g/s
  • RX 570: 0.17 g/s
