Title: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: puddinpop on December 24, 2010, 07:27:43 PM Here's some RPC miners for all those mining via RPC. There's a CPU miner based on the Crypto++ code, a 4way miner using the 4way code included with Bitcoin, and a CUDA and OpenCL miner. The included readme.txt has instructions on how to supply arguments to the miners. Supplying a -help argument to the executable will show you the available options as well.
Want these miners as a screensaver? See this thread (http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3030.0). Downloads (Updated 2011-02-27) RPC Miner Windows Binaries (http://www.mediafire.com/file/hduqoqdf3onqrod/bitcoin-rpcminer-20110227-win32bin.zip) RPC Miner Source (http://www.mediafire.com/file/ve608cl5mk1ka3l/bitcoin-remote-rpc-20110227-src.zip) Use the CUDA miner for NVidia cards. Use the OpenCL miner for ATI cards. Use CMake to compile from the source. Tweaking command line parameters for the CUDA and OpenCL miners will be necessary if you want to get optimum performance. Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: LZ on December 25, 2010, 12:52:32 PM Just checked for compatibility with the server http://mining.bitcoin.cz/ (https://web.archive.org/web/2010/http://mining.bitcoin.cz/) and it works fine!
I think slush (http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2167) should add link to these miners on his website. Done a really great job! :D Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: Barnabe on December 25, 2010, 04:16:31 PM What are the best settings for a ATI 5850m ?

The OpenCL kernel code was unable to compile on your system, that's why it doesn't work.

Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: Ricochet on January 04, 2011, 05:24:10 AM Successfully obtained a share on Slush's pooled mining service using this CUDA miner. Was afraid it wasn't going to work properly for a bit there. My only concern is that it constantly switches from a high number of khash/s to 0, back and forth, constantly. See the following screenshot:
http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/9432/screenyh.png Any ideas what could be causing this? For what it's worth, the older CUDA miner when I used it on your alternative pooled mining method (with native generation) averaged out at 1700 khash/s.

My ATI GPU is too old for the OpenCL version (at least I don't have opencl.dll anywhere on my main hard drive). Are there any other miners that might work on an older ATI card?

Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: puddinpop on January 22, 2011, 05:44:51 PM I've updated the first post with the latest release.
This includes some make file fixes and speed improvements for the OpenCL miner. Tweaking the compiler options have also tremendously increased the speed of the 4way hash in the Windows binaries for processors capable of SSE2. Remember, to get the most out of the CUDA and OpenCL miner, you must tweak the options. The defaults are just there to give you a baseline. I'm sorry for the dumb question, but I do all from the build-unix.txt, how do i build package? Use CMake.Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: romanoza on January 22, 2011, 07:16:47 PM Use CMake. Thanks, but:Code: -- Configuring done Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: walidzohair on January 22, 2011, 09:02:31 PM Here's some RPC miners for all those mining via RPC. There's a CPU miner based on the Crypto++ code, a 4way miner using the 4way code included with Bitcoin, and a CUDA and OpenCL miner. The included readme.txt has instructions on how to supply arguments to the miners. Supplying a -help argument to the executable will show you the available options as well. Downloads (Updated 2011-01-22) RPC Miner Windows Binaries (http://www.mediafire.com/file/cgfq9nq47o444mb/bitcoin-rpcminer-20110122-win32bin.zip) RPC Miner Source (http://www.mediafire.com/file/12zi3g2k2sy1wze/bitcoin-remote-rpc-20110122-src.zip) Use the CUDA miner for NVidia cards. Use the OpenCL miner for ATI cards. Use CMake to compile from the source. Tweaking command line parameters for the CUDA and OpenCL miners will be necessary if you want to get optimum performance. I have got geforce 8400 gs and i am using this command C:\RPCminer>rpcminer-cuda -url=http://mining.bitcoin.cz:8332 -user=XXX.X -password=XXX -statusurl=http://mining.bitcoin.cz/stats/json/ -threads=1 (or 2) I get the mining started on my CPU with the normal cpu rates and the normal CPU usage (as i see it in task manager). am i doing something wrong ? Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: LZ on January 22, 2011, 09:38:45 PM Yep, -threads is the CPU only option. Read readme.txt file. ;)
Added: It should be equal to 1 or just do not use it if you use a GPU miner. Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: walidzohair on January 22, 2011, 09:57:57 PM Yep, -threads is the CPU only option.

Coz when ever i use rpcminer to run cuda then it takes 95% of GPU & also slows down pc, While poclbm.exe -d0 uses cuda & 95% GPU, but no slow down of pc Windows 7, 9400GT with 260.99 & also now the new 266.58 driver. Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: puddinpop on January 28, 2011, 09:45:52 PM I've updated the first post with a new release. The CUDA miner is now using the driver API instead of the runtime API, and there's no more excess CPU usage when CUDA is running. Also the CUDA and OpenCL kernels were optimized a bit to improve hashing speed.

It will slow down your miner a lot. Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: suntiger on February 03, 2011, 10:31:59 PM Is there any particular reason that the CUDA miner would only perform at maximum khash/s if its CLI status window were the foreground window? I'm seeing consistent drops from 16000khash/s to 6000-9000 khash/s when the window is not in the foreground, even if absolutely nothing is happening in whatever window is the foreground (even away from the computer).
System: Windows 7 Enterprise 32 bit, 2.9ghz Core2Duo, Geforce 9600GT, 3gb RAM. Is there any way around this behavior? It poses problems for the time when I'm not actively using the computer, as if anything at all pops up in, say, the first hour of a six hour run, I lose quite a lot of potential khashes. Also, is 16mhash about right for a 9600gt? I tried playing with the aggression parameter, but it only lagged the rest of the system more, it didn't increase max khash/s while foregrounded. Anything else I can do to bump performance up? Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: swaits on February 04, 2011, 02:33:58 AM Is there any particular reason that the CUDA miner would only perform at maximum khash/s if its CLI status window were the foreground window? I'm seeing consistent drops from 16000khash/s to 6000-9000 khash/s when the window is not in the foreground, even if absolutely nothing is happening in whatever window is the foreground (even away from the computer). This seems to be a new bug in the 1/28 binaries. I'm seeing it too. The previous version did not exhibit this behavior. Currently, if my RPC Miner is in the foreground, it does its usual ~39M. As soon as I minimize, or even just click away, it drops straight down to ~4M. I'm on Windows 7 (64 bit), GeForce GTX 260, 12GB of system memory, i7-920 CPU. I'm running the CUDA miner, with no special parameters. But, just in case it matters, this is how I launch the software (via batch file): Code: @echo off I suspect it has to do with the lower CPU utilization fix. Which, by the way, is working very well. But perhaps this is why??? Thanks, Steve Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: LZ on February 04, 2011, 02:41:00 AM I can not reproduce this bug. :-\

Is there any particular reason that the CUDA miner would only perform at maximum khash/s if its CLI status window were the foreground window? No. The hash rate is constant here whether the window is in the foreground or background. You can try different graphics drivers (newer AND older) to see if that helps. It could also be something with Windows 7 interfering with the priority of background apps.

When I saw this, I was really excited to start using my GPU to mine. Unfortunately, you are using cutil, which is not an official part of the CUDA SDK, and not in the linux version. My compile fails with fatal error: cutil_inline.h: No such file or directory, and I confirmed that cutil_inline.h not anywhere in the SDK directory. This is confirmed by a moderator at http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=192055 (http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=192055) .
Quote cutil is something used only for SDK samples to make code shorter and is not suitable for use in a real application. It is completely unsupported and not included with the CUDA toolkit So my question is, how widespread is the usage of cutil in the code? If it's not too bad, I'll try to put together a patch, but this is the first time I've messed with CUDA. If it's not something I can handle, I'll happily donate a few bitcoins to someone (as soon as I can mine them, my cpu hasn't turned up anything yet) for helping me get this running.(don't use it, don't steal it from the SDK, just leave it alone and do error checking the right way) .

The last release does not need cutil when compiling the CUDA RPC miner, and likewise the CUDA daemon or GUI miners, since they all share the same miner code. Only the remote miners still need it.

Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: FooDSt4mP on February 09, 2011, 08:38:55 AM Ok, I did a make rpcminer, and it builds the kernel and everything fine, but fails on linking (undefined reference to `cuInit'). I have added the cuda lib directory to the ld config file and ran ldconfig as root. I also tried setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH with no success. Perhaps there's a -lcuda missing somewhere, but I've never worked with CMake, so I have no idea where look. Any ideas?
Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: t3h on February 10, 2011, 10:53:57 PM The CUDA miner is working nicely on my GTX470. 80000kHash/sec stock, 105000kHash/sec overclocked to 775mhz (works fine on stock vCore). I can push ~115k out of it by overclocking further, but it gets unstable unless I raise the vCore, then my 500w PSU doesn't like it :)
Should have gotten into this earlier, it takes ages to mine anything now :| Just one feature request: when you overclock too far, the display driver crashes and reboots. Can you detect this and reload the CUDA part? It keeps going with a stupidly large number of kHashes/sec (I think it's just silently failing), and never finds anything, so you come back and find that you haven't been mining for a few hours.

I have a question about the CUDA miner... I have a crappy GeForce 8400GS, which pushes about 1500kh/s. Using it, however, brings my system to a complete crawl (almost no CPU load, but it spends 100% of its time trying to redraw windows really really slowly). So, any way I can throttle the CUDA miner to make my system useable? If I could have a functional system at 90% performance, I could keep it running all day rather than just at night. I tried setting the "aggression" lower, but to no effect. Not complaining - Thanks again for writing this - Just wondering if I might have missed a combination of settings that would help tame it just a bit. ;D Thanks!

It seems the function "get" is not resolving.

I got the new source and built, now I get: Code: ./rpcminer -url=http://mining.bitcoin.cz:8332/ -user=hidden.1 -pass=hidden I'll start trying to figure out what's up with CURL... Just a couple things I noticed using tcpdump -A and watching the html packets when executing /usr/bin/curl and rpcminer. /usr/bin/curl sent a GET request and i'm not sure what data to expect as a response, but I got an HTTP/1.1 200 OK when using /usr/bin/curl manually and it responded back with that string I listed above, which looks like what you guys are probably parsing as the data input for the program. When I run rpcminer, it is using a POST request, and from looking at the source you are using a content-type of "application/json" and I get an HTTP/1.1 401 UNAUTHORIZED as a response. Are these recent builds working for anyone using linux/mac osx? It could be my libcurl install is messed up somehow, but I used mac ports. We could verify it is my setup of libcurl if someone else can compile the current source for linux/mac osx and it successfully gets data. thanks for all the help and time so far!

I added curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1); to your code and compiled. Upon running I get some very interesting results in the verbose debug of curl. Code: ./rpcminer -url=http://mining.bitcoin.cz:8332/ -user='hidden.1' -password=hidden Watch for these lines, * Server auth using Basic with user '' * Server auth using Basic with user 'th' * Server auth using Basic with user '' * Server auth using Basic with user 'th' * Server auth using Basic with user 'thin???' Looks like the user string getting passed to curl is varying for some reason, notice after the last Server auth with user 'thin???' it is followed by a HTTP/1.1 200 OK. I guess in that case lib curl is masking the user/pass info with '???' ? Could it be that the string used to create the username/pass combo is having it's memory stomped on or some other weird memory thing? Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: JollyGreen on February 21, 2011, 02:05:35 AM I think this is confirmed....it seems like lib curl should copy your userpass string into its own internal buffer, but I don't think that it is doing that. You have a local variable defined for userpass and are calling curl_easy_setopt(curl,CURLOPT_USERPWD,userpass.c_str());
that local variable is getting blown away after it leaves the scope. I defined userpass as a global variable for a test and then the curl debug always has the correct username rather than the varying "garbage". Also, I get < HTTP/1.1 200 OK everytime and it is performing ~ 1500 khash/sec I also get Target = 00000000ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff not sure if this is good or not, basically I'm using your software asis, but I made userpass a global variable, not sure how best to do that or if this is a correct fix yet.

The one thing I havent done is: Quote As I said before, if you don't see a line that says "Build program rval=0" the kernel didn't get built successfully and you're not going to be doing any hashing. You can try this kernel. If that doesn't work you'll have to edit the kernel and find out what's causing it not to build. I tried the other kernel, no luck... and i have no idea where I would start with editing the kernel, but if someone could point me in the right direction... or has an idea... I would appreciate it!

Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: NicholasBell on February 27, 2011, 03:28:34 AM Is there any particular reason that the CUDA miner would only perform at maximum khash/s if its CLI status window were the foreground window? I'm seeing consistent drops from 16000khash/s to 6000-9000 khash/s when the window is not in the foreground, even if absolutely nothing is happening in whatever window is the foreground (even away from the computer). System: Windows 7 Enterprise 32 bit, 2.9ghz Core2Duo, Geforce 9600GT, 3gb RAM. I'm another person that has issues with the CUDA miner speed dropping significantly if it isn't the currently highlighted window (109000 khash/s down to around 16000 khash/s). I really like this miner, but I pay ~100khash/s opportunity cost to actually use my PC. I run the 4way miner at the same time and see no slowdown when it isn't the active window.

Adding that line I managed to compile the rpcminer using CUDA. Now I am stuck with the cubin problem: Code:
I also tried to generate the cubin file with: nvcc -cubin ../src/cuda/bitcoinminercuda.cu -gencode arch=compute_11,code=sm_11 -o bitcoinminercuda_11.cubin But I still get the same error when I start the miner. How did you do it? :-) Thank you. Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: JollyGreen on February 28, 2011, 12:07:29 AM There are a couple ways around the .cubin issue.
I found if I do the original "cmake -i", eventually it will prompt you asking if you want to generate a cubin file. You say "yes" and then it builds a cubin file with a ".txt" extension for whatever reason. If you take the cubin.txt file and copy it to bitcoinminercuda_11.cubin rpcminer with cuda will work the other option is to run nvcc and generate your own cubin from the ".cu" file "nvcc ../src/cuda/bitcoinminercuda.cu -gencode arch=compute_10,\"code=sm_10,compute_10\" -gencode arch=compute_11,\"code=sm_11,compute_11\" --keep" this will generate .cubin files, copy the one you want to bitcoinminercuda_11.cubin and then run rpcminer Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: edric on February 28, 2011, 11:12:53 PM I'm having a problem getting the RPC Cuda miner set up on a secondary PC on my LAN. I've got it all set up on my main computer and running fine, but trying to run the miner on my other pc is giving me trouble. I've tried with -server=192.168.0.7 -user=xxx -password=xxx -port=8333 -rpcport =8333 and am getting CURL return value = 7
I've also tried with -url=192.168.0.7:8333 with user and pass, I'm getting no errors, but after it loads up CUDA it does absolutely nothing, not even 0 khash. Any insight on what I'm doing wrong? edit: I figured out how to (supposedly)enable the server to accept rpc connections from other computers but I'm still getting CURL return value = 7. Seems that using rpcallowip=x.x.x.x in the .conf file is being ignored because I still cannot get the rpc miner on my other computer to connect. I've even tried specifying a port (8332) but it does not matter. Am I missing something?? EDIT AGAIN: Fixed. A faulty network cable causing extremely unstable connections. I knew I was missing something, lol. By the way, for some reason it only worked if I used -url but not -server.

last night another application caused conhost.exe to crash and thus ending rpcminer-cuda.exe the problem is that afterwards your program uses at most 95% of the card, something like 95% throttling, instead of 99%, causing my hash/s to drop from previously average 86700 to 81500 any ideas how to correct that?

I've had some sort of mixed results similar to yours, using the same miner. My usual thing is to run it with aggression=6 while I'm at work and my wife is watching movies on the projector. It's not a problem and everything runs well but usage usually sits at %96 and even after VLC and everything is shut off, it stays the same and hashes will sit around 89. When I run my miner, I always set its priority to Above Normal. Sometimes it seems to keep this trend, even after other activities have stopped, of running 96% and giving me low hashes. I've found if I just shut it off, for a few minutes, then start it back up again, it seems to work just fine. Ask me why, I dunno, but it does. It'll go up to 99% just fine. Could possibly be a driver thing.

Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: TurboK on March 11, 2011, 02:36:53 PM Hi.
I'm running rpcminer-opencl.exe (20110227), and all is going right... except for one rather nasty problem. If I open any video file (local using MPC-HC with EVR renderer and ffdshow, or online on Youtube), or open Gpu-Z, my computer hangs up completely. This only happens while running the rpcminer. I'm using a Radeon 6950 with Catalyst 11.2 on Win7 x64, GA-P35-DS3 motherboard and E6550 cpu. Upgrading to 11.4 preview made no difference. Switching from RPC Miner to poclbm made no difference, it still hangs up. In the past, I had similar problems with another GPU accelerated app on my previous videocard - a Radeon 5850, it hanged up the whole system the exact same way when using ighashgpu + opening any video file. This was later fixed in one of the Catalyst updates. Overheating etc. cannot be an issue, as I have adequate cooling and a good power supply (corsair hx520w). Is there anything I can try (some setting in rpc miner), or am I limited to waiting a catalyst update that fixes this issue? Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: jkminkov on March 11, 2011, 05:18:29 PM for radeon use SDK 2.2
run poclbm with -f120 -v -w128 lower priority of poclbm with task manager to low if you play youtube clips, expect hashrate to drop by 50% if still lags, rise value to -f150 or more Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: TurboK on March 11, 2011, 06:55:18 PM The problem isn't performance. My computer flat-out hangs. No BSOD, no error message, no trace of anything in the event log. The screen will just freeze permanently. Only a hard reset will revive it.
I've tried various -f switches for poclbm-mod, and I've tried Stream SDK 2.1 to 2.4. All of them hang. Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: jkminkov on March 11, 2011, 07:34:00 PM try with updating codecs or use another player? VLC?
Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: TurboK on March 11, 2011, 07:52:28 PM It's not a question of codecs or players. Alternate players will work if I set them to full software mode (so they don't use VMR9 or EVR). But I can't set anything like that for Youtube (no video settings in CCC make a difference, neither does disabling hardware acceleration in Flash).
Moreover, GPU-Z triggers this as well, but only on startup. Load poclbm-mod first, then gpu-z = hangs. Load gpu-z first, then poclbm-mod = runs fine. Since all gpu-z does is poll the functions of the card, that makes me think that the cause of the hang is when Stream functions + UVD functions are accessed at the same time. Like I said, I've been plagued by the same issue back with my 5850, using vista x86. That was fixed in Catalyst 10.3. Now, on Win7 x64 and a 6950, the problem persists with catalyst 10.12 to 11.4p.

It receives work and calculates hashes, but no shares are ever reflected in the profile. How to fix this?

I was looking at poclbm mistakenly. Well, for some reason, it's still not loading the .cl file. As far as the screensaver goes, both the .scr file and the .cl file have to be in system32 (32-bit Windows) or syswow64 (64-bit Windows) in order for it to work. As far as the standard OpenCL miner not working, I'm kind of lost there. There might be some possible issues, though. Are you starting it from a shortcut? If so, make sure the "Start in" field is set to the miner directory. Are you starting from a batch file? If so, either the batch file has to execute from the same directory as the miner or the batch file has to manually change paths to the same directory as the miner. The main point is, the miner doesn't go looking around your drive for the .cl file. It just hopes that it's in the current working directory. EDIT: The point about the batch file also applies to the command line. If you type the full path in front of the miner executable and you're not in that directory when you type it, it won't find the .cl file.

I found this post in this thread where JollyGreen got stuck in a similar place you did. Here's the message:
Hello All, I've been working on compiling the rpcminer for mac osx leopard 10.5.8. I've gotten really far and think I'm almost there, but I'm running into an issue related to boost, I believe. It seems the function "get" is not resolving. I'm using macports and I've done a "sudo ports -dv install boost", it seems to be finding the boost headers, because it doesn't complain about those, but it can't resolve the "get" function for some reason. I would like to hear your 2 cents about the issue if you have some spare time. I would really appreciate it. I'm willing to donate some bit coins, but at this point I only have 0.07 :) Code: make rpcminer I was able to resolve this issue by adding "using namespace boost;" after the boost headers are included in "serialize.h"! Working on next compile issue, now :) There are a couple more posts from JollyGreen a few posts down from there. Look that up and see if there's some insights for you. You might also try to message JollyGreen and see if there's something the two of you could work out.

It means you edit the serialize.h file in a text editor, and add the line Code: using namespace boost; Quote i dont understand when releasing source code like this why is everything needed not included so it actually works? Because not everyone has the same version or configurations of the necessary libraries and compile tools, and it would be next to impossible to test all possible configurations. This is released free and open source. This means that while it may not work out of the box, you are free to modify it to make it work.

Ps: Your program is running fine good job :D Play with the -aggression, -gputhreads, and -gpugrid parameters. :o 8) Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: commlinx on April 18, 2011, 06:37:06 AM I've just got an HD 5970 today and have been playing around with the various parameters, previously I'd been running with an Nvidia. Anyway it's all generally OK however after spending quite a while treaking the parameters the best I've been able to achieve is to go from 175 to 270 M/hashes, which looking at the GPU hardware comparison looks like around half what I should be getting.
I thought maybe only one GPU was being used, so I tried starting one with -gpu=0 and another with -gpu=1 but they both started with about half the hash rate as before (about the same overall). I've put my best attempt below, any ideas? Being new to ATI cards I just thought to check Catalyst and it does appear only one GPU is being used, one is 93% and other is 0%. I just checked again and it was the same with two instances running with -gpu. Edit - after looking further I see my problem is the card isn't using the 3D clocks so it's set to 400MHz. I'll start a new thread as it's not specific to this miner. Edit 2 - if looks like the above was just a reporting problem fixed by a reboot, after that it now reports 750MHz but performance is the same. However if I increase the clock rate to 850MHz I get the 13% odd performance increase expected so I now think my card is running at full speed but hash rates are below what I was expecting for some reason.

I have added the cuda lib directory to the ld config file and ran ldconfig as root. I also tried setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH with no success. Perhaps there's a -lcuda missing somewhere, but I've never worked with CMake, so I have no idea where look. Any ideas? I'm facing the same problem. I manually added -lcuda to cmake-rpcminer/CMakeFiles/rpcminer.dir/link.txt but linker can not find '-lcuda'. libcuda.so is present in ldconfig -v. Did you manage to solve it?

I just got my first working binary for rpcminer working for CUDA on Ubuntu 10.10 after screwing around with the source for half a day. I wanted to roughly document the steps for anyone trying to follow in my footsteps. Many of the problems were discussed in this thread but I wanted to put them together in one place. 1. Open up the CMakeLists.txt. There's a group of seven options (lines 5-11 in my version of the file for me). I set "Enable CUDA miner" and "Build RPC miner" to ON and everythign else to OFF. 2. Ran cmake . 3. Cleaned up some compile errors: 3A. Added "#include <limits.h>" to serialize.h after the rest of the #includes 3B. Added "using namespace boost;" just after the includes 3C. Modified bitcoinminercuda.cu to "#define _BITCOIN_MINER_CUDA_" right above the #ifdef that checks for it. 4. Ran make 5. Got .cubin files by running nvcc ../src/cuda/bitcoinminercuda.cu -gencode arch=compute_10,\"code=sm_10,compute_10\" -gencode arch=compute_11,\"code=sm_11,compute_11\" --keep -gencode arch=compute_20,\"code=sm_20,compute_20\" --keep 6. Ran the rpcminer binary from step 4. It will complain about not being able to run. Take one of the three .cubin files and put it in your target directory. You'll have to rename it to the file that rpcminer is looking for. (in my case, I renamed bitcoinminercuda.compute_20.sm_20.cubin to bitcoinminercuda_20.cubin") 7. Opened an account on deepbit.net and then ran ./rpcminer -user=foo@bar.com -password=my_password -url=http://deepbit.net:8332/ (of course I changed user and password to whatever I registered with) Hopefully I didn't leave anything out. There may be better ways to solve some of those issues, but that's how I solved them and I got a working binary that does hashes using CUDA. Good luck and happy bitmining.

I'm getting 30x more on an AMD Radeon GPU using the same mount of power on OpenCL I have to say the same. With my Nvidia 9800GT, poclbm OpenCL maxes at 25 MH (30 if I use -f 0), whereas rpcminer-cuda gives 18 MH if I'm lucky - and I've played with the settings a lot. [oh and rpcminer-opencl doesn't work for me at all. It never actually connects after initialising. In windows task manager I just see rpc-opencl use more and more RAM, until eventually it crashes(!)] This to me doesn't make sense - CUDA is more low-level and optimized for Nvidia, is it not?

Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: SleepMachine on May 07, 2011, 09:12:00 AM Ok, i have some more problems with an NVIDIA card (which i'm not physically at atm). At first, all the miners I tried (phoenix, poclbm-mod, rpcminer-cuda) would crash with something like "Import Error - LoadMemoryBlah - failed to import /_pyocl.py", basically OpenCL and CUDA didn't work.
Once I updated the NVIDIA drivers from nvidia.com (auto-detect function), the miners ran. The miners detected #1 - The CUDA platform #2 - One cuda device. The NVIDIA 8600 GS card I tried different settings with these 3 miners, but never got the speed above 1.5 Mhash ?! What the heck is wrong? Finally, in an act of desperation, i tried the rpcminer-cpu using 4 threads on the "Intel Core2 Quad" or something like that and got speeds of 4.4 Mhash. How the heck can the CPU be faster than the GPU? Something must be seriously wrong, right? Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: error on May 07, 2011, 04:22:59 PM What's wrong is you have an 8600GS. Sorry, you aren't going to get much out of that.

There's a CPU miner based on the Crypto++ code, a 4way miner using the 4way code included with Bitcoin, and a CUDA and OpenCL miner. The included readme.txt has instructions on how to supply arguments to the miners. Supplying a -help argument to the executable will show you the available options as well. Want these miners as a screensaver? See this thread (http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3030.0). Downloads (Updated 2011-02-27) RPC Miner Windows Binaries (http://www.mediafire.com/file/hduqoqdf3onqrod/bitcoin-rpcminer-20110227-win32bin.zip) RPC Miner Source (http://www.mediafire.com/file/ve608cl5mk1ka3l/bitcoin-remote-rpc-20110227-src.zip) Use the CUDA miner for NVidia cards. Use the OpenCL miner for ATI cards. Use CMake to compile from the source. Tweaking command line parameters for the CUDA and OpenCL miners will be necessary if you want to get optimum performance. anyway to support sse2 on ubuntu ? Title: rpcminer binary for Mac Snow Leopard Post by: MacCompiler on May 10, 2011, 09:25:15 PM I compiled a binary of rpcminer for Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard. This binary distribution is built from the source code distribution from 2011-02-27. There are three necessary platform modifications to the original source to make it compile and run on Mac OS.
Update: easy-run variant (http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=8994.0) I hope someone will find it useful. :) Donations: 14V7RiwD3joqDF2Jv6zst3ZnQsR686u9iH ;) Its been tested on a MacBook Air running Mac OS 10.6.5 and a Mac Mini running 10.6.7 against the mining.bitcoin.cz pool.

Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: buro9 on May 19, 2011, 05:37:30 AM Hi all, I've just started mining and am getting what would appear to be some strange numbers given what others are posting, I just want to validate that it's not some bug or something is wrong and that it's actually working as desired.
A dump from the command line: Code:
I've got an Nvidia Quadro FX 1800, so figured it was safe to try the high aggression. Prior to adding the aggression I was only getting avg. 12000 khash/s, but now I'm getting those ridiculously high numbers. It's only pegging 1 CPU core too, so I'm averaging 12% load there and the system is as responsive as if I were doing nothing. Is this all for real? Are those numbers real? And if it is for real, how long would it take to calculate a block? Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: zazabar on May 19, 2011, 11:06:56 AM Only time I got numbers like that on the CUDA miner was when my graphics drivers crashed.
Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: ryepdx on May 19, 2011, 12:12:00 PM Yeah... 11Gh/s from an Nvidia card... actually, from any card... is unheard of. You're likely seeing a bug. That's a little less than 10 times what a dual 5970 setup gets.

Can I use GPU and CPU on the same worker or do I need to run booth cuda and cpu. cuda with -gpu does very little to my cpu usage rate and starting rpcminer-cpu also as a seperate worker does not seem to do anything to the hashrate in cuda. So is running cuda and cpu on 2 different workers for mining.bitcoin.cz a sensible thing or no?

I've already had to add the boost path to LIBRARY_PATH to prevent a previous linker error, but adding the CUDA lib64 path to either LIBRARY_PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH doesn't seem to help (the latter does nothing, the former goes back to giving the same boost linker error).

I understand i need a miner to mine with and have to have a wallet for the coins but i can't figure out how to get the miner to work. I've downloaded the file for the miner but can't get my head around what to do with it. Do I have to build it? or does it come already built and is ready to use? Is there an idiots guide somewhere that i can follow? There were basic instructions of some sort with the download but i just don't understand it. Any info. or guidance anybody can give me would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance. g. Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: Bleak Morn on June 10, 2011, 03:29:48 PM Got rcpminer-cuda.exe working fine on one machine (from the extracted folder on my desktop surprisingly).
Tried the same set-up on another machine and I was getting an error so I moved the files under C:\Windows\system32 to alleviate any PATH issues and now I get the following System Error from rcpminer-cuda.exe: "The program can't start because curllib.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." Well... I see curllib.dll in the extracted folder, and I see it in C:\Windows\system32. Also, I didn't really *install* the software - just extracted the ZIP. Seems like it'd be pointless to do that again. Did a search in the forums and didn't see any curllib.dll issues, and seems odd that everything worked fine on my other system. Both are running Windows 7 64-bit with Nvidia GPUs.

my 2.9Mhz AMD dual core cpu. Ive got a Radeon4200 that seems to be openCL capable, and Ive got version 1.3 of the latest updates for it, but the openCL miner which did not work at all before, after the updates, works for a few seconds and then crashes.

And yes, I am BitCoin clueless. But if you have a website you want to add bitcoin to Id say www.bitp.it is the place to go.

I know the Ang3lus has linux specific functions in it. I couldn't get it to compile under windows. I gave up fairly quick. Do you have any gdbs on the segfaults? Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: philips on September 17, 2012, 07:57:07 AM Thought about it (gdb) but in the end I gotta ask: is it worth it?
I mean (other than pure curiosity which drives me so far) is using this CUDA miner gonna bring me some gain in speed, so much that it would turn an Nvida card in something efficient for mining? So you have an 460 and I suppose you have done some tests openCL vs Cuda with it...is there any significant improvement?

So you have an 460 and I suppose you have done some tests openCL vs Cuda with it...is there any significant improvement? Obv being optimized for your hardware will help, but it really depends on the number of cores you have, and at what speeds they're running at. A 460 has 336 cores, at 675MHz. The closest comparison I can come up with is a 5570, with 400 SPU at 650MHz.

So you have an 460 and I suppose you have done some tests openCL vs Cuda with it...is there any significant improvement? The only improvement in cuda vs opencl is not having the miner use 100% cpu of 1 core. Which is the entire reason I updated the code for this one to support newer gpus. If there is any performance difference; It's insignificant at best. Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: philips on September 18, 2012, 01:39:49 PM No point then...
A 470 has 448 cores so that would be close to a 5670 perhaps?....still weak. I can bring it with cgminer to 150MH/s and I was curious to see if CUDA would push that limit even higher... Thanks Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: yzfzfcex on January 22, 2013, 11:41:12 AM Hello everyone. I would like to know if there is still someone interested in trying to compile this in Linux.
I'm having trouble to compile in Ubuntu 10.04. I am preparing a little script in Bash based on previous posts so that others benefit from it as well, but I can't get pass the issue with nvcc (I'm using gcc and g++ version 4.4). I also attach the characteristics of my video card. Let me know if you need more information: The error is this: Code: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.4.3/../../../../lib/crt1.o: In function `_start': The script is this Code: #!/bin/bash I have been using 1.3 for GPU_CompCap. I also tried with 1.2 with the same result The specs of my card are: Code: Device 0: "NVS 3100M" If someone can help me with the optimal parameters, that would be greatly appreciated :D Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: philips on January 22, 2013, 01:39:39 PM I might be interested out of curiosity but I no longer have a working Nvidia card. I fried mine while playing Amnesia.
Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: Bernd33-1 on January 22, 2013, 08:04:10 PM Hi,
I try to work with remote miner server and remote miner client but with no success. Maybe one can help? My PC with Internetconnection (IP=192.168.0.113) starts with: rpcminer-cuda.exe -url=http://port80.btcguild.com:80 -user=USER -password=PASSWORD -threads=1 -aggression=8 -remoteserver -remotebindaddr=192.168.0.113 -remotepassword=banana -distributiontype=contributed A second PC in my network (192.168.0.110) starts with: rpcminer-opencl.exe -server=192.168.0.113 -password=banana -aggression=6 But the Client says always "Could nit retreive work from RPC Server. Curl return Value 7" Maybe someone knews what I'm doing wrong? Thangs, Bernd Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: yzfzfcex on January 23, 2013, 03:12:10 PM I might be interested out of curiosity but I no longer have a working Nvidia card.

Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: 420 on January 31, 2013, 03:59:47 AM is there potential to damage a card?
Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: slush on February 16, 2013, 10:54:55 AM Is this miner still in development? If so, there's one bug report: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=144016.0
Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: slush on March 03, 2013, 06:34:47 PM Many people reported problems while using RPCminer with Stratum proxy. I just released Stratum proxy 1.5.1 with workaround especially for RPCminer. If you have RPCminer and want to mine over Stratum, please use proxy with --old-target parameter and let me know if it fixed your issues!
Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: Clock Loop on April 11, 2013, 09:59:29 AM I have dual gtx460's watercooled & oclocked to 851mhz and they hash at about 145 Mhash/sec (70Mhash/sec each)
This is the norm for nvidia. I use two rpcminer-cuda.exe instances like so: -gpu=0 -gpugrid=320 -gputhreads=320 -aggression=7 -workrefreshms=1000 -gpu=1 -gpugrid=320 -gputhreads=320 -aggression=7 -workrefreshms=1000 Guiminer Messages about "lost connection" are normal, its from the pool servers reply time. Every server has different reply times, if your miner tries to query the server too soon, guiminer will say you have connection problems. You need to find the refresh rate your pool allows and change -workrefreshms=XXXX to the servers limit. Default for -workrefreshms=4000 Most virus scanners and firewall programs hate "coin" miners and call them viruses, so make sure your virus scanner and firewall allow rpcminer-cuda.exe, and guiminer. I use p2pool as my pool server. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=18313.0 DO NOT USE rpcminer-mod-cuda.exe This MOD also uses up all of 1 cpu, so i think its using the cpu to do hash also, perhaps tricking users into thinking its better than original. It uses all cpu, and no hashes are accepted in GUIMINER, even tho it says its hashing, and p2pool says almost all are DOA... DO NOT USE THIS MOD-->hxxps://github.com/cdmackie/rpcminer-mod/tree/master/bin USE ORIGINAL RPCMINER Original RPCMINER: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2444.0 If your RPCMINER program uses 100% of any cpu, and GUIminer shows 0(0) under "Accepted" (if you are only doing gpu mining) then you have the modified broken rpcminer-cuda.

How do I set this up, the readme.txt does not have any instructions, I have a NVidia GPU. So far I have copied the rar files into a folder in the program files. When I start up the rcpminer-cuda.exe I get this message...

I trying to use the rpcminer.cuda.exe with guiminer (geforce gtx660) Quote Client will start 1 miner threads Work will be refreshed every 4000 ms 1 CUDA GPU devices found Setting CUDA device to first device found Loading module bitcoinminercuda_11.cubin Unable to load CUDA module I get the above error but few pages back I found this answer Quote You need to compile the .cu file targeting the 1.1, 1.2, and 2.0 CUDA architecture, and give the resulting cubin the appropriate name, and place it in the working directory before you start the miner. Please can some one teachme how to doing this? I am absolutely ignorant about and I have no Idea what is this and how to make it work.

Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: 420 on May 04, 2013, 01:07:52 AM with a cuda mod miner I get 185Khash with litecoin on GTX 680
Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: Eli0t on May 28, 2013, 03:38:23 AM for anyone wondering if this app will give you a faster hash rate than newer CUDA miners the answer is no
after some tweaking for best performance i was able to get the same hash rate (maybe even 1% less) as i get by default with ufasoft Coins CUDA implementation and there i get a much better readout and stratum support into the bargain. 560ti(no OC) ~83 MH/s with -aggression=9 -gpugrid=128 -gputhreads=384 Title: Re: RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL) Post by: Tritonio on September 22, 2013, 05:16:52 PM Avira started detecting the rcpminer-cpu.exe as a Security or Private Risk (SPR/BitCoin.djh.1). Also if you search the file's hash on google you'll find that it's known as winvnc86.exe and wininiit.exe. I suppose someone used it in a botnet or other trojan?
