RandomX OpenCL implementation

This repository contains full RandomX OpenCL implementation (portable code for all GPUs and optimized code AMD Vega GPUs). The latest version of RandomX (1.1.0 as of August 30th, 2019) is supported.

Note: it's only a benchmark/testing tool, not an actual miner. RandomX hashrate is expected to improve somewhat in the future thanks to further optimizations.

GPUs tested so far:

Model CryptonightR H/S RandomX H/S Relative speed Comment
AMD Radeon VII (stock) 3125 1500 48% JIT compiled mode, 150W
AMD Vega 64 (1700/1100 MHz) 2200 1225 55.7% JIT compiled mode, 285W

Building on Windows

  • Install Visual Studio 2017 Community and CLRadeonExtender
  • Add CLRadeonExtender's bin directory to PATH environment variable
  • Open .sln file in Visual Studio and build it

Building on Ubuntu

  • Install prerequisites sudo apt install git cmake build-essential
  • If you want to try JIT compiled code for Vega or Polaris GPUs, install amdgpu-pro drivers with OpenCL enabled (run the install script like this ./amdgpu-pro-install --opencl=pal)
  • Download CLRadeonExtender and copy clrxasm to /usr/local/bin
  • Then run commands:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/SChernykh/RandomX_OpenCL
cd RandomX_OpenCL/RandomX
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DARCH=native ..
make
cd ../../RandomX_OpenCL
make
