Ethernet would defiantly be a good investment on the backplane. If using Ethernet it would be great if the backplane handled all of its own operations without a host of some sort(eg. doesn't need to be controlled from a pc.) If that were the case i would asume you guys would would be using an ARM chip and a cut down version of linux and some cheap flash memory.

If you have your own single, just look yourself. If you don't have your own single, why do you care? I don't have one which is why I was asking. The reason I care is because this thread is to help identify the chips used in the BFL Single, I like many others are curious and would want to know what chips are used. |

If I watercool, then I need the depth for manifolds, hose, and other apparatus, so the PSUs would still have to stack, but all of it could probably be crammed into 6 or 7 total U. As much as I would love to have a package system, I doubt I could fit an appropriate radiator and pump into that space, so it would probably have to be external like DeathAndTaxes' setup. BTW, has anyone actually done any long term tests with more than 2 watercooled cards directly adjacent to each other without a second slot in between? The more I consider it, the more I am sure it would be prone to failure, unless they weren't linked directly to each other. If that were the case, I would have to use right angle connectors on each and every card, and that would get tedious, real fast.
you can have gpus watercooled in adjacent slots, you would need these: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/10744/ex-tub-669/Bitspower_SLI_Crossfire_Crystal_Link_Tube_Set_-_2_Slot_Spacing_BP-CLTAC-S2.html?tl=g30c101s873#blank  plus the fittings. all of these can be found here: http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g30/c101/s873/list/p1/Liquid_Cooling-Fittings-Accessories-SLI_Connectors-Page1.htmlI know it says "sli" connectors, but in reality its just a piece of tubing with the appropriate adapter. if you want a self contained water cooling pump, reservoir and radiator that is capable of being rack mounted take a look at: http://koolance.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=0_28_42&product_id=1173  |

I recommend IC Diamond for any Tim. Works super awesome, but its slightly expensive. If you browse the evga forum there is a guy selling it cheap.

Do you read before you claim things are untrue.... Hardware Requirements
Intel® OpenCL SDK 1.5 requires support for the Intel® Streaming SIMD Extensions 4.1 (Intel® SSE 4.1) or higher (Intel SSE 4.2, Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions (Intel® AVX)). SDK works on the CPU's which contain support for the required instruction set extensions:
Mobile and Desktop Products:
2nd Generation Intel® Core™ i7 Extreme Processors
2nd Generation Intel® Core™ i7 Processors
2nd Generation Intel® Core™ i5 Processors
2nd Generation Intel® Core™ i3 Processors
Previous Generation Intel® Core™ i7 Extreme Processors
Previous Generation Intel® Core™ i7 Processors
Previous Generation Intel® Core™ i5 Processors
Previous Generation Intel® Core™ i3 Processors
Intel® Core™ 2 Extreme Processor, 9000 series
Intel® Core™ 2 Quad Processor
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor, 8000 series
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor E7200.
Server Products:
Intel® Xeon® Processors, 7500, 7400 series
Intel® Xeon® Processors, 5500 series
Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400, 3300 series
Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor, 5200, 3100 series. http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/opencl-release-notes/See any GPU in there? Intel has long supported OpenCL on CPU ONLY. I will wait for your retraction. If you still don't believe me install the SDK and try to run the samples on an Intel GPU. No need for a miner to prove it is possible just use their samples. No intel GPU to date supports OpenCL. No ifs, and, or buts. That may change in the future but given the lackluster performance I doubt Intel wants a direct comparison. They would much rather companies buying $8,000 server CPUs. Im sorry if I was mis-informed in making my claim, but several "white-sheets" from Intel suggests it may be possible. http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/introduction-to-intel-opencl-tools/"There are multiple tools packaged under Intel GPA, for OpenCL we will only use Intel GPA monitor (to collect traces) and Intel GPA Platform Analyzer (to view traces). Intel GPA Platform Analyzer aligns clocks across all cores to provide uniform timeline for CPU and GPU workloads and running tasks/threads." Also another interesting find: http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/showthread.php?t=79766Intel rep, says it might be possible in the future. For now all that Intel has said is: http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/opencl-sdk-frequently-asked-questions/#9"11. Will Intel support OpenCL on its new platforms? Intel will support OpenCL on future tools and platforms. Intel is evaluating when and where OpenCL support will intercept our products, but no announcement has been made." Again sorry for my mistake, but hopefully OpenCl can be implemented in the near future with Ivy Bridge around the corner. |

I use 64bit Windows and 10GB ram. And cards I use: 2*5970 + 2*6870 + 5870 Tried different kernels, same problem. There is no limit on the number of commands in a commandqueue. It is only restricted by the system memory.
If you exceed this limit you are likely to get a CL_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY.
I hope it is clear
If HOST_MEMORY means RAM then I'll try 16GB of it. EDIT: I realised I use 32bit version of cgminer. Does it make sense if I try to compile 64bit version of it? You need to compile the 64 bit version of cgminer otherwise you run into a memory issue with Windows. |

Can someone please provide the .27 version?
I'm running on Windows 64 bit.
Right click on your bitcoin-miner.exe file, open properties, click on the previous version tab, click the version from your most recent system restore point. Im new to mining, I only started yesterday, so there is no way to check for a previous version as I didn't have any before .28 |

Using a Nvidia for minig... is a waste of time and energy
Thanks for letting me know, anyhow I still need a riser ribbon, Ill have to look and see what leftover ATI/AMD GPUs I have. |

Is the pool having troubles? deepbit.net again shows a steep drop in miner performance despite my miners running at full speed.
hmm I tried to ping the server pit.deepbit.net and this is the results: Pinging pit.deepbit.net [46.4.121.118] with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 46.4.121.118: bytes=32 time=186ms TTL=43 Reply from 46.4.121.118: bytes=32 time=187ms TTL=43 Reply from 46.4.121.118: bytes=32 time=192ms TTL=43 Reply from 46.4.121.118: bytes=32 time=205ms TTL=43 Also my machine 95% of the time cannot connect to return results, it just says "A connection with the server could not be established." |

Hi, My name is Ion, and I just started to look into how Bitcoin works and how you can mine for bitcoins.
I have already started mining on 1 computer over at the deepbit pool, my current mining pc is a Pentium d 925 at 3 GHz (dual core).
