Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Official Open Source FPGA Bitcoin Miner (Just Released!)

on: June 01, 2011, 10:11:24 AM

Quote from: TheSeven on May 30, 2011, 10:24:41 AM I did manage to synthesize a design for an xc5vlx110t-1ff1136 (which I had sitting around anyway) running at 120MH/s in the meantime. I chose to not use JTAG for communication, and implemented a simple RS232 interface instead. The next step will be getting myself used to how all this mining business works and how to communicate with the mining pools. Can someone provide me some checking values (256bits midstate, 96bits data, 32bits nonce) which result in a "golden ticket" (hash with the first 32bits being zero), so that I can verify that my design works correctly? Any particular reason you didn't want to use the JTAG for the host communication? It'd make it so much easier to use random boards... Care to share your code? Many hands make light work, etc etc

Anyone port this over to a Xilinx chip yet? I have a couple of different Xilinx-series boards I can borrow, but I'm too much of a verilog n00b to replace altpll and altsource_probe with vendor-neutral equivalents

looks like someone already ported SHA256 to lolduino, you're halfway there! http://avrcryptolib.das-labor.org/trac/browser/sha256-asm.S?rev=3

Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Mining on wii

Quote from: immune on May 13, 2011, 12:21:14 PM its certainly possible, My wii is modded to play home brew software as well as backup copies of games, someone like waninkoko could certainly write the code for the miner, hes a genius when it comes to wii cios coding.... hhttp://www.teknoconsolas.es/blogs/waninkoko My left nut he could. The Wii's Hollywood uses TEVs instead of generic shaders; the most clever hack I've seen -- and not by wanky -- is to use them to do RGB -> YUV colorspace conversion. They're probably not flexible enough to implement SHA256.

This is getting better -- with 1x5770 and 2x5850 (overclocked), I'm getting "up to 818 MHash/sec" (which is about what I expect), but it's only fully loading the cards every few seconds -- here's what it looks like if I hit Enter between each progress update:

If I run "aticonfig --adapter=all --odgc" manually (and repeatedly) while this is happening, I see that the GPU load is cycling between 90% and 0%, roughly in step with the output of the program.

This is with SDK 2.4, btw -- which I can't even use with poclbm normally, because it only manages to use one of my 3 GPUs (?!!)

Quote from: ArtForz on March 26, 2011, 05:56:19 PM Good? I've gotten 70Mh/s with a Spartan6 LX 150-3, $180 @ 1ea. he gets the same from a CycloneIII 120-C8, $380 @ 1ea. and expects about the same from a CycloneIV-E 115-C8, $310 @ 1ea. Always so negative smells like agenda

Hmm...perhaps an ISA dump would be useful to debug the problem.

You can do that by running export GPU_DUMP_DEVICE_KERNEL=3 prior to running hashkill (you need to be in a writable directory like e.g /tmp).

Then after say 30 seconds, stop execution (ctrl-c) and look for a file named bitcoin_<GPUmodel>.isa (e.g bitcoin_Cypress.isa). Please paste this file contents so that I have a look at it.

I'm not the other guy, but I'm seeing some weird results. I can't tell *what* performance I'm getting out of your client -- it's showing me very strange results:

Code:

crunch@crunch:/tmp$ hashkill-gpu -p bitcoin xxx:xxx:deepbit.net:8332

(etc)

With 2 5850s and a 5770, I expect to get about 600-700 MHash/sec. Here are the dumped ISA files:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/694931/bitcoin_Cypress.isa
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/694931/bitcoin_Juniper.isa

(this is with AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64)

Nice work, btw, I like the way it automagically finds all the cards and "deals with it", rather than having to run multiple copies of poclbm.
