Changes

  • Added basic support for Intel Arc Desktop GPUs on the following algorithms: ETC, ETC+KAS (1), Kaspa, Flux, Ergo, Beam (2) & Equihash 144/5 (2). Fees are equal to Nvidia and AMD GPUs on the corresponding algorithms. Tested Intel OpenCL driver versions are 22.24.23453 and 22.32.23937.
  • Added support for mining Alephium in non-dual mode for Nvidia Pascal GPUs and newer. Use --algo ALEPH to mine it. Fee is 0.75%.
  • Slight performance improvement for Kaspa non-dual on Nvidia GPUs.
  • Added Aeternity Cuckoo 29 & Grin Cuckatoo 32 kernels for RX 6600 and RX 6700 series GPUs.
  • Updated web ui for supporting Intel GPUs, more pools and coins.
  • --cclk for locking core clock and --mclk for locking memory clock now work for Nvidia Pascal and Turing GPUs (3).
  • If --cclk or --mclk are used to lock clocks, these will now be reset on lolMiner exit.
  • Added reading of junction temperature and memory temperature for Nvidia GPUs for drivers 515 or newer.
  • Re-arranged nonce consumption for Kaspa to allow pools with 3 bytes extra-nonce without (too many) duplicate shares.
  • Linux: Added reading of GPU power draw and core clock on Intel Arc GPUs.

(1) Only on the 8G+ Intel GPUs: A580, A750 and A770.
(2) Beam and Equihash are experimental on Intel GPUs. Also see known issues when running multiple cards.
(3) Needs admin / sudo privileges. Tested 460.93 driver and higher. --mclk should only be used to mine core intense coins like Kaspa or Aleph in order to reduce power draw by the memory. Recommended value in this case: 810.

Fixes

  • Fixed a bug that may cause a segmentation fault on startup.
  • Fixed a bug causing --list-devices not to work.
  • Fixed a bug causing DNS over HTTPs to fail often.
  • Fixed a bug causing Intel GPUs not to be sorted by PCIE bus and address in device list.
  • Fixed a bug causing rejected shares on Equihash not appearing in API (but they did in miner dashboard stats).
  • Fixed a bug in web ui to sometimes not refreshing.

Known issues

  • When running multiple Intel Arc GPUs on Beam or Equihash 144/5 the cards will slow down. This is likely due to a limitation of the Intel OpenCL implementation and the way lolMiner works with it. We hope to get this fixed in one of the upcoming versions.
