Version 2.3.2 - March 30, 2012
- Change the preferred vector width to 1 for Tahiti only, not all poclbm
kernels.
- Update phatk version number.
- Use min() function on 2 vector output path in phatk kernel and don't use extra
variable for both 2 and 4 vectors.
- Add vector type hint to phatk kernel.
- Use a time constant 0.63 for when large changes in hashrate are detected to
damp change in case the large change is an aliasing artefact instead of a real
chang
- Only increment stale counter if the detected stales are discarded.
- Attempt to re-initialise ADL should a device that previously reported fanspeed
stops reporting it.
- Move the ADL setup and clearing to separate functions and provide a reinit_adl
function to be used when adl fails while running.
- Use slightly more damping on the decay time function in the never-ending quest
to smooth off the hashmeter.
- Set the starting fanspeed to a safe and fairly neutral 50% when autofan is
enabled.
- Provide locking around updates of cgpu hashrates as well to prevent multiple
threads accessing data fields on the same device.
- Display the beginning of the new block in verbose mode in the logs.
- Reinstate old diablo kernel variable ordering from 120222, adding only goffset
and vector size hint. The massive variable ordering change only helped one SDK
on
- Change the version number on the correct kernels.
- api.c devicecode/osinfo incorrectly swapped for json
- Add extensive instructions on how to make a native windows build.
- Update version numbers of poclbm and diablo kernels as their APIs have also
changed.
- Use global offset parameter to diablo and poclbm kernel ONLY for 1 vector
kernels.
- Use poclbm preferentially on Tahiti now regardless of SDK.
- Remove unused constant passed to poclbm.
- Clean up use of macros in poclbm and use bitselect everywhere possible.
- Add vector type hint to diablo kernel.
- Add worksize and vector attribute hints to the poclbm kernel.
- Spaces for non-aligned variables in poclbm.
- More tidying of poclbm.
- Swap Vals and W variables where they can overlap in poclbm.
- More tidying of poclbm.
- Tidy up first half of poclbm.
- Diablo tidy.
- Absorb as many ZA variables into each other in diablo kernel.
- Add spaces to new assignments in diablo kernel.
- Variable assignment alignment in diablo kernel.
- Clean up use of any() by diablo and poclbm kernels.
- Minor variable symmetry changes in poclbm.
- Put additions on separate lines for consistency in poclbm.
- Consolidate last use of W11 into Vals4 in poclbm.
- Add last value in vectors in diablo and poclbm kernel for consistency with
original code.
- Separate out all additions of different variables in diablo kernel.
- Separate out additions in final vector code in diablo kernel as well.
- Get rid of accessory braces.
- Keep lines that reference the same variable together.
- Split addition lines without functions.
- Remove unnecessary braces from diablo kernel.
- Use the unrolled option for no vectors return code.
- Convert additions to += in diablo kernel.
- Reuse variables to decrease total number used in diablo kernel.
- Strip out unused variables from diablo array.
- Machine optimise by removing one-use variables.
- Merge all additions before output.
- Cluster Vals7 for use on output.
- Change email due to SPAM
- api.c miner.php add a '*' to the front of all notify counters - simplifies
future support of new counters
- miner.php add display 'notify' command
- Small change to help arch's without processor affinity
- Fix bitforce compile error
- api.c notify should report disabled devices also - of course
- API returns the simple device history with the 'notify' command
- code changes for supporting a simple device history
- api.c Report an OS string in config to help with device issues
- api.c fix Log Interval - integer in JSON
- api.c config 'Device Code' to show list of compiled devices + README
- api.c increase buffer size close to current code allowable limit
- removed 8-component vector support from kernel, as this is not supported in
CGMINER anyway
- forgot to update kernel modification date, fixed ;)
- reordered an addition in the kernel, which results in less instructions used
in the GPU ISA code for GCN
- miner.php: option for readonly or check privileged access
- Ignore reduntant-with-build options --disable-gpu, --no-adl, and --no-restart
- miner.php: ereg_replace is DEPRECATED so use preg_replace instead
- Make curses TUI support optional at compile-time.
- Bugfix: AC_ARG_WITH provides withval instead of enableval
- miner.php split devs output for different devices
- api.c: correct error messages
- icarus.c modify (regular) timeout warning to only be debug
- icarus.c set the windows TODO timeout
- Allow specifying a specific driver for --scan-serial
- optimized nonce-check and output code for -v 2 and -v 4
- Bugfix: Check for libudev header (not just library) in configure, and document
optional dependency
- Add API support for Icarus and Bitforce
- Next API version is 1.4 (1.3 is current)
- README/api.c add "When" the request was processed to STATUS
- Bugfix: ZLX to read BitFORCE temp, not ZKX -.-
- Use libudev to autodetect BitFORCE GPUs, if available
- Use the return value of fan_autotune to set fan_optimal instead of passing it
as a pointer.
- Pass the lasttemp from the device we're using to adjust fanspeed in twin
devices.
- fix the name to 3 chars, fix the multi-icarus support
- Bugfix: "-S auto" is the default if no -S is specified, and there is no such
delay in using it
- README add information missing from --scan-serial
- Update README RPC API Version comment
- Bugfix: Allow enabling CPU even without OpenCL support
- Change failed-to-mine number of requested shares messge to avoid segfault on
recursive calling of quit().
- Get rid of extra char which is just truncated in poclbm kernel.
- only small code formating changes
- removed vec_step() as this could lead to errors on older SDKs
- unified code for generating nonce in kernel and moved addition of base to the
end -> faster
Version 2.3.1 - February 24, 2012
- Revert input and output code on diakgcn and phatk kernels to old style which
