CryptoNight variant 2 migration guide #753

xmrig · 2018-09-13T09:06:56Z

Monero will change PoW algorithm to CryptoNight variant 2 on October 18th.

Required steps

Miners and proxy should be updated to v2.8 before October 18th.
variant option on each Monero pool should be set to -1 (automatic).

Notes

If your pool support mining algorithm negotiation, don't need change variant option, just update miners and proxy to v2.8.
If you use xmrig-proxy change variant option only on proxy side.

I tested xmrig on killallasics.moneroworld.com. for cn/2. I'm seeing a 25% drop in hashrate vs cn/1. I'm using dual E5-2660 V2 cpus, is this drop in hashrate expected?

thanks

xmrig · 2018-09-19T02:15:05Z

cn/2 is slower by design, before release will be added ability to use highly optimized assembly code for Intel and AMD Ryzen CPUs, new option asm will be introduced, it will helps reduce difference in hashrate.
Thank you.

CPU miner

CPU miner will use highly optimized Assembly code for CryptoNight variant 2, author of this code is @SChernykh. Changes already in dev branch and ready for tests. Usually no additional configuration required for it, miner will load proper ASM code automatically if it available for your CPU, for fine tuning also added global and per thread option "asm".

Possible values for `"asm"` option:

true or "auto" automatic, miner will try use proper assembly by CPUID information. This is default value.
false or "none" feature disabled.
"intel" best for Intel CPUs starting from Ivy Bridge/Sandy Bridge.
"ryzen" best for AMD Ryzen CPUs.

Limitations:

Only 64bit builds and single and double hash modes supported.

NVIDIA/CUDA miner

Future of NVIDIA miner now unclear, we hope @psychocrypt can create fast CUDA code for it, if not for NVIDIA can be used AMD/OpenCL miner.

AMD/OpenCL miner

"strided_index": 1, should be not used for CryptoNight variant 2, you will see warning message about it.
Added extended opencl-platform option, can be used for auto-configuration for NVIDIA GPUs.

jetbird747 · 2018-09-25T13:07:05Z

It's my understanding that @SChernykh is still working on the double hash asm mode, hopefully this will be done and incorporated by the release date. Without it I'm seeing a 12% reduction in hashrate on my CPU system.

SChernykh · 2018-09-25T13:50:53Z

@jetbird747 Double hash asm version is already integrated into xmrig.

jetbird747 · 2018-09-25T20:19:29Z

@SChernykh

Using double hash I'm seeing;
CNv7: 908H/S
CNv8 873H/s

Using single hash;
CNv7: 962H/S
CNv8 846H/s

~9% reduction in hashrate

Hardware os and xmrig info

SChernykh · 2018-09-25T20:39:09Z

@jetbird747 Try to enable all 10 cores. Run single thread on 8 cores and double thread on 2 remaining cores for each CPU. This should give you the best performance.

CPU: Dual E5-2670v2 (10 cores, 20 threads, 25MB L3)

CNv7: 1090 h/s
CNv8: 1055 h/s (with asm)

Interestingly, using "asm" : "intel" or "asm" : "ryzen" results in about the same hashrate. "asm" : false is only 15 h/s slower.

@xmrig I forgot to add my NVIDIA tuned OpenCL code for reading/writing scratchpad chunks: https://github.com/SChernykh/xmr-stak-amd/blob/master/opencl/cryptonight.cl#L728
On AMD cards it's fine to read/write to global memory directly, but on NVIDIA it's faster to first read 64 bytes to shared memory, process them and write them all back to global memory.

Can you add it? I can create a pull request in a couple of days if you don't have time right now.

xmrig · 2018-09-26T13:54:34Z

@SChernykh Yes I can, I'll do it later today.
Thank you.

v2.8.0-rc (release candidate) will be released on October 1 (about 24 hours from now) if no critical bugs will found, except NVIDIA miner.

https://config.xmrig.com/ is updated for v2.8 too.

Also I create Twitter account https://twitter.com/xmrig_dev it's _dev because just xmrig is already taken.

and how can i do that on Ubuntu 16.4 TLS???

xmrig · 2018-10-09T00:50:48Z

Stable v2.8.1 release (CPU/AMD/Proxy) available. For miners only minor bugfixes since v2.8.0-rc, for proxy update highly recommended to install.

i didnt understand

is theres any update for ubuntu 16.4 TLS??

k0ste · 2018-10-10T11:52:06Z

@FBI962, you should update miner at any distro.

FBI962 · 2018-10-10T12:44:43Z

@FBI962, you should update miner at any distro.

how can i update

what is teh command?

also is it working on ubuntu 18.4 TLS

NVIDIA miner ready for cn/2 tests in dev branch https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig-nvidia/commits/dev

I've optimized integer math for CUDA: SChernykh/fast_int_math_v2_cuda@2ac043c
It works faster on NVIDIA cards. I'll test optimized OpenCL version this evening.

xmrig · 2018-10-10T17:04:26Z

@SChernykh Added (you already saw it) about extra 1 H/s per card. Thank you.

Bathmat · 2018-10-10T17:48:11Z

@SChernykh seeing the same as @xmrig. 1-5 h/s faster, depending on the GPU.

SChernykh · 2018-10-10T17:51:56Z

@Bathmat Nice, can you post the latest numbers (CNv1 vs. CNv2) here, so I could update my performance table https://github.com/SChernykh/xmr-stak-cpu#performance ?

Bathmat · 2018-10-10T18:07:51Z

@SChernykh
OS: Win7
GPU(s): GTX970, 2x GTX1050 (CUDA10, 411.7 driver)
CN/1: 483 + (2 * 300) h/s = 1083 h/s
CN/2: 455 + (2 * 291) h/s = 1037 h/s, 95.75%

Of note, this computer was slightly faster using CUDA 9.1 and 391 drivers (1100 h/s); however, I cannot get xmrig-nvidia to compile with CUDA 9.1 🤷‍♂️

For my Win10 with GTX1050:
CN/1: 325 h/s
CN/2: 318 h/s, 97.8% (that's without your latest optimizations since I haven't updated the driver for that rig yet, still using CUDA 9.1 and 397 driver)

xmrig · 2018-10-10T18:28:58Z

I cannot get xmrig-nvidia to compile with CUDA 9.1

Compile error or? -DCUDA_TOOLKIT_ROOT_DIR= allow specify path to CUDA, I recently successfully compile with CUDA 9.2 and 8.0, so no issues with 9.1 should be.

@Bathmat It looks like CUDA 9.1 and latest Visual Studio are not really compatible.

Bathmat · 2018-10-10T20:11:40Z

@SChernykh yeah, I can get 9.1 to work with stak and -vcvars_ver=14.11 and -T v141,host=x64, but that's not working with xmrig-nvidia, and I haven't had time to figure out what might work.

Also, I misspoke earlier: Drivers 391 work better than 411 on my Win7 rig. Even if I compile stak with CUDA 9.1, it's still slower with driver 411.

Oh well, I should probably just upgrade to CUDA 10.

xmrig · 2018-10-10T20:12:21Z

@Bathmat ok, then, you should use build instructions for CUDA 8 https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig-nvidia/wiki/Windows-Build-CUDA-8 but with path to CUDA 9.1.

cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -T v140,host=x64 -DXMRIG_DEPS=c:\xmrig-deps\msvc2015\x64 -DCUDA_TOOLKIT_ROOT_DIR="c:/Program Files/NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit/CUDA/v9.1"

Bathmat · 2018-10-10T21:45:13Z

@xmrig thanks, that worked. Reloaded 391 drivers and speed is back up: 1100 h/s total for CNv1 and 1067 h/s for CNv2 (97%). The GTX970 stayed the same at 455 h/s for CNv2, but the 2 GTX1050s got a 15h/s boost each to 306 h/s

Also @SChernykh I tested my Win10 GTX1050 with your optimizations and CNv2 hashrate is the same; 318h/s

Bathmat · 2018-10-11T02:24:31Z

Here's my last Nvidia:
OS: Win10
GPU: GTX1060 6GB (CUDA 9.1, 397 drivers), 2000 core clock, 4300 mem clock
CNv1: 520 h/s
CNv2: 512 h/s, 98.4% 🥇

EDIT: Been running it for a few hours and hashrate is stable at 507 h/s (97.5%).

@trasherdk I think you reported your values to the wrong miner. This is a xmrig issue. Maybe you thought you are in fireice-uk/xmr-stak#1851

trasherdk · 2018-10-14T12:05:16Z

You are right. Sorry guys :)

BTW. xmrig is running just fine.

Has anyone tested cn/2 (cnv8) with Vega and Blockchain drivers? I'm getting 1975 with cn/1 easily, but the best I can get with cn/2 is 1200 h/s (600 per thread). It's a mixed rig, and when I tried adrenaline 18.5.1, my RXs didn't want to switch to compute mode. I'll have to try again later, but just wanted to see if anyone had gotten blockchain drivers to work successfully.
