A jump in RIG performance in Funakoshi Miner

I am only using a single connection to the user specified pool.
This can be verified. If I will use additional connections this can
look suspicious to users. Additionaly the user will be able to block
the other connections using the firewall.

Are you doing any ip address collection/logging?

No. The only connection is from user machine to the pool.
Thus I can’t even theoreticaly collect anything.

Okay, comparison numbers for 12x 1080 ti at 220 watts at just about stock settings.

Funakoshi miner:
fmsols

DSTM miner:

Funakoshi: 8533 - 0.015% = 8405 Sol/s
dstm: 8804 - 0.02% = 8627 Sol/s

Not including ewbf because it’s slower even without the dev fee.

Can you please run the test for a few hours?
The sol/s are changing all the time, so that an
accurate comparison should run the test for a few hours.

Sorry, I ran it for a while and didn’t see more than a 30 Sol/s deviation from that number in either direction. I don’t think it will make up the difference to be closer to dstm. If the numbers are close initially and the dev fee is .5% lower I would test that for a longer duration, but it’s not there yet. Are you continuing to improve this?

At this point, even without the dev fee, I would still use dstm.

It’s also very possible that for smaller rigs with 3 or 4 gpus, this miner could be better. Keep in mind these results are for a 12x system that is not at max watts.

Thanks a lot.
I am constantly working on gaining more performance.
I will try to focus on large rigs

I’ve never used DSTM for appreciable lengths of time. Can you comment (based on your experience) regarding DSTM stability vs EWBF? Does it tolerate mild overclock well, too?

I haven’t used it at the lengths of ewbf, which would continue for weeks/months without needing anything, but I’ve noticed that the latest version is more stable than the earlier more cpu intensive versions. I’ll be releasing an open source (python) linux overclocking runtime/uptime script very soon (for free) to minimize any stability issues for miners.

It will be ready in a week or so.

I am running Ubuntu 16.04.4.

Funakoshi-Miner runs on Ubuntu 16.

Maybe you should do
sudo apt-get upgrade

Or maybe you shuld install cuda 9
from nvidia-website

I have released v2.4 of Funakoshi-Miner in which the CPU in Linux has been
reduced by 20%. This should improve the performance of large Linux rigs.

I’ll test again here shortly.

Same settings.

dstm:

funakoshi:

Still not close to even with dstm.

Thanks for your help.

Can I ask you what is the cpu% on your pc while test is running?

If performance is not better after the cpu optimization then I will
have to continue investigating other areas.

It’s anywhere between 30-50%.

OK, Thanks
I will continue research in other directions.

My miner is faster for 3 gpus rig, but seems
to be slower in 12 gpus rig.

what hardware specs are you testing with?

I am testing on my gtx 1080 windows-7 and ubuntu 16.
Additionally I am testing on cloud servers having 1 or 3 gtx 1080ti
and on cloud servers having 1 gtx 1070.
On all tested platforms Funakoshi-Miner is faster than dstm but
not much faster.

Performance is the same both on Windows and on Linux because
it is bounded by the gpu card.

I will do some tests on a cloud server having 8 gpus.

Hi,

I have a segmentation fault message when I try to launch funakoshi on ubuntu 16.04. Any idea?
