1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] cudaMiner - a new litecoin mining application [Windows/Linux] on: January 27, 2014, 06:26:40 PM
Hey there, i ran into a little linux-newb problem when i tried installing CUDA5.5. environment on Linux...

Since the thread is terribly big already and I dont wanna inflate it even more with my semi-related problem I started a topic of my very own Smiley
But you guys should be the ones who might help me to fix it fastly. Please take a short look:

Thanks to everybody in advance.

2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / CUDA 5.5 on Linux, need help installing on: January 27, 2014, 06:16:17 PM
a.] cbuchner rocks  Grin

b.] After taking 2 full days to get a win 8.1 secure boot system to dual boot with linux I am stuck again setting up CUDAminer on Linux.

What I have done so far:
Install Fedora20
Install Yumex
Install RPM Fusion (free and unfree)
"Install" RPM file for CUDA5.5 64 for Linux Fedora18 from the nvidia page. (does the 64 version work with the 12_18 version or do I need to get the 32bit version?)

And after that part I am stuck: when I try to install CUDA5.5 I get the following ERROR after downloading:

Code:
19:03:59 : ERROR: Fehler in Yum-Transaktion: Test-Transaktionsfehler:   file /usr/share/man/man1/nvidia-xconfig.1.gz conflicts between attempted installs of nvidia-xconfig-319.37-27.fc18.x86_64 and xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-1:331.20-7.fc20.x86_64

Any ideas how to fix that?
Do you need any further information from me?
For the sake of improving on linux i d also like a little explanation on that error if possible Smiley in what way do those two installations "conflict" ? Am i trying to install both of those... whatevers?

PS:  I am a Linux firsttimer, so try to keep it simple please Smiley
PPS: What I posted above is literally all I have done with the system so far, nothing else changed or configured yet...

Finally got the newest build compiled and running. Thx to everybody helping me on it.


+1 for autotune crashing.


But now I could finally play around with my settings:
Best Hashrates coming from any common denominator (if that means "gemeinesamer nennern" Cheesy) of 32.
But I dont see any changes in using 8x4 -> 16X2 -> 32x1 -> 4x8 etc... is that supposed to be like that? beeing "exactly" (+-0.01) the same on all?
Also any changes in the direction of a total 33 or 31 gives me a drop of about 20%.


And since i just saw this:
 
I managed to compile mine on x86 and ran it on my two GTX660 using :

cudaminer.exe  --algo=scrypt-jane -d 0  -H 0 -o stratum+tcp://yac.coinmine.pl:9088 -O user:pwd
cudaminer.exe  --algo=scrypt-jane -d 1  -H 0 -o stratum+tcp://yac.coinmine.pl:9088 -O user:pwd

but I am getting only :

Any recommended -l setting for GTX 660 ?

Thank you Smiley
Is it just a lucky streak getting a share accepted every few seconds? For me it sometime takes several minutes. I do farm on another pool thou (yac.m-s-t.org). Or is that due to the pool settings? I never really read into all those stratum tcp pps pplns etc stuff...

I will install Cuda 5.5 when I get home and test again, but running individually didn't work ok for me so far.

Any tutorial on how to compile the latest source code from github ? I haven't done any C programming in ages, I am very rusty.

Quite easy:
Get Visual Studio Pro 2010 (Trial if you must)
Get Cuda SDK 5.5
Get the source code from github (google cudaminer)
Exctract source code in it's own folder
Get libraries from first post by Christian (almost 50mb)
Extract libraries to the same folder that the source code folder is in, so not to the source code folder but one up.
Open the .sln file in the source code with Visual Studio.
Select which version you want to compile, and compile it.
If it errors:
Go to your Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin folder and rename or relocate cvtres.exe and do the same with another cvtres.exe under Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin\amd64, then run Visual Studio 2010 and try compiling.

If it doesn't work, just change everything back.

You lost me at "Select which version you want to compile, and compile it." What "version" do I select where? And by compile one usually means hitting that green debug arrow right? =)
Actually I think I might have lost it at the extract part already: What should the final main folder look like? .\ with 6 folders ( CudaMiner-master, curl-7.29.0 ..., pthreads)? And if you open the miner-master folder you end up in the folder with code and compat?
Little more dummie style explanation would be appreciated =)

Any kind of debugging Information I might sent to you?
6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: arCUDAminer 64 bit v1.0c - PTS GPU miner for Windows on: January 18, 2014, 12:08:39 AM
First of all, thx for the update on this forum, and for your work in general.

Results with 1.0c are ~10%up from 1.0b GPU is constantly at 90%.

BUT:
At startup i still get the same -"99847394853" of 0 bytes-message and the FB is still spiking with does not really look optimized or is there an intrinsic reason for this to happen?

A bit of research on Fermi performance with the new X-perimental kernel (Dave Andersen's work ported over to Fermi)

GTX 560Ti 1280MB: 0.83 kHash/s with -X 8x1    <--- the low VRAM is really hurting
GT 630 4GB VRAM: 0.72 kHash/s                      <--- low cost, low performance. The RAM doesn't help Wink
GTX 660 OEM 4GB VRAM: 1.25 kHash/s             <--- that is one strange OEM part, I must say.

The new code is about 50% faster then the existing Fermi kernel for scrypt-jane. But I do get occasional
validation errors on Fermi + Kepler when I enable -C 1 or -C 2. Strange. Hence avoid Fermi parts like the
plague if you intend to do scrypt-jane.

In comparison.

A GT 640 (GK107) 4GB at stock clocks will do something in the range of 1.65 kHash/s. This is somewhat less than I expected
because my GT750M laptop part (same chip) delivers 2.1 kHash/s.

A GT 640 (GK208) 1GB GDDR5 manages to do 1.25 kHash/s with mild overclock. Again the low VRAM is hurting.

I will be getting more Kepler parts for comparison. GTX 650, GTX 650Ti (not the Boost version) with 2GB each.

Christian


Could you please give me your settings for the 750M? Using the same card (probably? got a 4GB DDR3 one) but so far i only manage to get ~1.10k out of it.

Thx for careing archit =)



Tried non-highperf and avx too for the same results. (regarding the spikes) Had it once starting with a little less spikes too for maybe 1 min achieved ~20-30% more collisions.

Running on a 750M (Kepler) with 4GB.

9  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: arCUDAminer 64 bit v0.5 - PTS GPU miner for Windows on: January 14, 2014, 05:30:32 PM
If this was an answer to the spikes question: arCUDA 1.0 still gives me exactly the same gpu spikes.

EDIT: After initializing I also get a message like -965346328 free of 0 total bytes of memory.
10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: arCUDAminer 64 bit v0.5 - PTS GPU miner for Windows on: January 14, 2014, 10:22:06 AM
Are those spikes for the GPU utilization expected or is sth bugged?

11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: How to farm YACoin on P2Poolmining with CUDAminer on: January 14, 2014, 08:59:46 AM
Well the binary patoli created makes cudaminer a scrypt-jane miner, my problem is that i can not get it to work...
12  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: How to farm YACoin on P2Poolmining with CUDAminer on: January 13, 2014, 09:51:24 PM
Okay, by now I came one step further, knowing: I cant mine with the 18-12 version of cudaminer.
I d rather need the compiled binary from patoberli.
But running this just gives me: MSVCP110.dll error
Is this due to a lack of VISUAL BASIC 2012 PROF installed on my computer or can it be fixed somehow else?
Only got VB2010 on here...

When might I leave the noob zone to ask these questions where they belong?
13  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / How to farm YACoin on P2Poolmining with CUDAminer on: January 13, 2014, 08:48:00 PM
Could somebody tell me what a batchfile for CUDAminer should look like if I am going to mine YACoins over p2pool?
