[ANN] cudaMiner & ccMiner CUDA based mining applications [Windows/Linux/MacOSX]

it and post early ->  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=167229.msg6721404#msg6721404

Care to share your binaries with us?
And Christian, you can release only binaries, with no source code, I think you are credible enough for us to trust your binaries

do you trust me? maybe i have implement code for searching for you passwords and wallets? example is find all wallet.dat on you pc and kill it.

Well my rigs are only for mining, so besides ccminer and nvidia drivers it has nothing
I guess I'll just spend sometime figuring how to compile it myself.

but with "killer groestl" this problem is not problem?  

Yes, do a search for "timeline" and look at the one I posted previously.

the problem is that this code is just way too easy to port to OpenCL, and hence we're looking at a way of releasing
it that doesn't involve disclosure of source code.

Hope you will find soon, I must admit I more interested by groestl than x11
I am compiling the new code and give it a try in a few minutes.
Does this update solve the low gpu usage seen in the previous version ?

I think its more like low gpu usage high CPU usage when using 6 x gtx 750 ti

So may-be it is a different issue, I mean I had to open several instance to be able to get higher than 90% gpu usage
(haven't had any cpu usage problem though... with my cpu cooler, this is very noticeable..)

u are using windows ? How many gpu u are using ? What model ?

new timeline for ccMiner v1.0 on X11. Note how the table based Groestl completely dominates the runtime.
SIMD has been cut into four pieces, and shrunk to a runtime shorter than Echo already.

You may want to compare this to the timeline I posted earlier where Groestl was optimized ("Killer" version)
but the SIMD hash was particularly slow and nasty.

but with "killer groestl" this problem is not problem?  

here's a timeline for the "killer". Note how it is much closer to the speed of Echo now.

windows 8.1

I tried to compile for my 750ti. But when i launch the bat : ptxas fatal error memory allocation error ?

different setup as mine. I think the 90-95% CPU load only occur if using 6 x gtx gpu. When I use a single card, the CPU is only 10%. Meaning the more gtx card u use , the more CPU it will use.

 Is there any good building guide? The one on cryptomining-blog.com is good?

cudaMiner and ccMiner developers:

Not sure if you've heard about us - NiceHash.com is a novel crypto currency cloud mining service. It runs as a proxy between hashing power providers/sellers and hashing power buyers (https://nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=faq#faqg0).

NiceHash is using some advanced stratum protocol features. We are getting some user's requests to improve NiceHash.com compatibility with cudaMiner and ccMiner. Here you can find guidelines on how to patch your mining software to get better compatibility with NiceHash:

https://www.nicehash.com/software/#devs

These are relatively simple and small patches, no hard work is needed to implement.

btw: it would be also great for you to implement a good support for backup/failover pools in cudaMiner / ccMiner

here a few results:
Regarding the low gpu usage, it is gone. Both cards are at either 98% (780ti) or 99% (750ti)

the 750ti does between 2100-2200khash (on pool)
the 780ti does slightly higher than 5300khash/s with compute 3.5
I tried running the 780ti with compute 3.0 as in v1.0, it was slightly faster than 3.0. I get 5000khash/s. (so it isn't the case anymore)
The tdp usage for the 780ti is around 90%.
the 750ti shows lots of fluctuation (board powered ?) but doesn't seem to go higher than 70%

How about CPU usage?

sorry I didn't check, but I didn't hear my cpu cooler (and my cpu is i7-3770 so I am not sure I would have such problem)

I'll check it, thanks.

[PVmining]

C&C thanks again for the speed update!

All the new guys on the ccminer x11 wave... please keep in mind to donate a little something for the their good work.
The donation adresses are in the readme of ccminer. thanks.

is there a easy way to compile to binary ?

Visual studio takes forever to download....

rather easy, I have been trying to compile a wallet (I am half-way through, but "some" daemon are compiling... actually I don't need more)
The package you need to instal before doing this don't necessarily compile, every path are hardcoded in the makefiles, some paths are just wrong...
So I think compiling ccminer is rather easy compared to that... (At some point, they will have to put some dev. environnement... may-be github does that ?)

arhh... cuda download 1.1 GB. I think by the time i finish download cuda , someone kind enough already post a binary here
