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

[bigjme]

(...) BTW, maybe it's time to remove x13 from the FAQ page.

Yeh i think so. We need something to stand in its place, any ideas? (...)

How about a "Which miner should I use for which algorithm?" with a table/paragraph/infographic/etc showing cudaminer algos vs ccminer ones?  Folks that are new to the project (or cudaminer folks that are new to ccminer) might like a nice, central location to see that.  Could include links too.

Also, how about "How does this compare to sgminer?" or whatever current AMD miner is out there.

Same goes for "What increase in performance do we get over CPU mining?" for some of the CPU-minable algos (quark, x11/13/etc, cryptonite...)

The problem with the first one is that many different miners support the same algo, so there isnt a specific one

[cayars]

Excellent work with cudamining.cc, thanks alot! 

Still not finished yet

What changes did you make?  Anything we can see on the front side?

BTW, maybe it's time to remove x13 from the FAQ page.

best regards to cayars.   Thank you.

Cayars thanks a lot for the unified ccminer with all algos built in

Your both welcome. But keep in mind from a coding standpoint nvMiner is really mostly just "glue" to put the changes from Bombadil, Christian, djm34 and tsiv into one EXE with a couple of extras. The guys just mentioned are the ones responsible for all the algos.  I just wrapped them all into one program so we don't fork dozens of different releases like the AMD camp has done with CGMINER/SGMINER.  For my AMD rigs I presently need to track and use a half dozen different versions of sgminer/cgminer which sucks!  Didn't want to see this happen with ccminer.

I'm not much of a Linux guy but this weekend I'm going to see about compiling this under Linux. This should probably be just makefile adjustments.  Then I can get the sources posted also.

Yeh i think so. We need something to stand in its place, any ideas?

And no changes you will see. The change was only moved over for about 3 minutes to test it worked. Once its done you will all most likely see faster loading times, and it will be much easier for me to edit the site.

Using one of my old complex methods right now. The changes require the entire website to be written from scratch. So to test it i have to put it live. So expect another website freakout at some point today

May get it done today, who knows

Maybe we could use the FAQ section for now to have a few links to OC utils or other useful links.  VC runtimes, nVidia drivers page with current versions, etc...

Under the Tutorials section we could surely use a section on compiling under Linux.  I know this will be helpful to me shortly.  Anybody have anything like this?

Comparison to CPU or an AMD GPU is going to be relative.  What processor do you compare to XEON, i5, i7?  What GPU do we compare to on AMD side?  265/270/280 etc?  Are we looking for pure speed or hash per wattage, etc...

Regardless of how you look at it the hash per wattage of the 750ti is hard to top.  Lots of hash for low watts.

I have posted hash rates here http://cudamining.cc/url/releases for the latest release of nvMiner.  Just click on the title "v1.2U-D3 - 15-07-2014" to bring up the description.

Thanks for the reply!  I didn't expect you to go through the trouble.  I was more suggesting this could be added to the FAQs on the cudamining.cc website (so that you could just direct folks to that in the future).

That's very true about the wattage and hashing, etc...  I suppose we could try to come to a consensus on what a good metric might be.  Or maybe that's just not something we need to worry about, and can leave it up to other third parties.

Hello,

I've installed ccminer 1.2 recently on a win 7 64b. Took the binary from the OP. I'm mining DMD and getting around 6.8/6.9Mhash per card. I have the ASUS Geforce GTX 750 Ti. Is that the normal output for that coin? Will it be improved or optimized?

I have also seen that there are several forks of ccminer. Any better than the other to mine DMD.

Cheers

2 x 750 (non ti) give me 4.1-4.2 on X11. Overclocked (see my other post).

planning to replace my 40 280x with 66 Ti's , will save 1/2 of power costs.

[miner256]

I would love to try that but I am running on linux (ubuntu) and so can't easily overclock as far as I know.

Unless people know otherwise?

Thanks for this miner! About time NVidia cards can be put to good use!

Can someone compile the zelante splitscreen release for linux ?
it seems to be windows specific (windows.h) and I have no idea how to get it compiled on linux.
thanks


PS: or maybe make the source linux friendly ?

Zelante replied that he would not support Linux. The split screen is useless if you can't provide GPU info in the top screen and Linux happens not to have the necessary API. You could get it via calling external program or port the code from it.

Best results with Sgminer 4.2(fixed) x15 version.(based on poolerinos 2% fee version)

I deleted the 750ti sgminerbinfiles  and installed catalyst 14.6 and got a boost

Any additional build commands?

7.8Mh is what I'm getting with nvMiner on DMG.

Oh NICE. Will test nvMiner ASAP. I guess you meant DMD right?

[polanskiman]

I don't see much of a difference with ccminer. I am still getting 6.8./6.9 Mhash.

Here is my config: nvminer.exe -d 0,1 -a dmd-gr -o stratum+tcp://dmdpool.digsys.bg:3333 -u user -p pass

Any additional flag that you are using to get 7.8? Or perhaps are you overclocking the card?
