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

[Schleicher]

I managed to increase the quark and nist5 speed a little bit.
Source code:
https://github.com/KlausT/ccminer
Compared to djm's m7v7 version:
about 6% faster for quark
about 4% faster for nist5
(on my 750Ti, not overclocked)

Nice. So many people have interest in cuda mining now. Thanks for this release, although I will stay with djm's version for a while.

Big fat thanks!
Love to see you share your optimization with us.

I like to mention tpruvots source once more.
https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer

clean & mostly up to date.
especially for windows guys easy to compile, because he included everything in source that is needed.

Good job. These improvements are different from my maxwell mod, so it meens that it will improve the speed of the maxwell mod when I merge them in.

Which VS version for compiling? VS2013 says it cant compile native x86 :S

what did I (or others) missed in the source which make my version difficult to compile ?  

Anyway some of the change will certainly make their way to my version when I have time (which I don't at the moment... the priority being on new development... and so far I haven't had much time to look back)
I looked a bit into schleicher release and there is some interesting stuff.

Anyhow I am almost done with sk-1024 miner.
current speed 40MH/s on gtx980
                   26MH/s on gtx780ti
                   14MH/s on gtx750ti

I compiled your source on my linux boxes many times without hazzel.
but on linux I had the usual "suspects" (dependencies) already installed for the common uses.

trying to play around on windows (with vs2013) tprvouts source was the only one just compiling on a fresh system and just needs cuda installed. with your and other releases are some stuff missing (phtread,. curl,...)... and some of these stuff is not as easy to get by as on linux.

great guy! do you open-source your keccak speedup too?

at some point yes (rather next week)... but not today as sk1024 will be released as a standalone miner (well nobody want pthreads and boost at the time...).  

Regarding how the dependencies are treated, I don't think everything should be including into ccminer.
It isn't a good idea nor considered as good practice in terms of package management and make things difficult to upgrade hence at that level I prefer to stick with what has been done so far... (even though it is a pain in the ass...)

It IS open source - the original uint2 keccak wasn't done by djm34.

yep actually it is in cudaminer... but I assume nobody want to piece things together (well the 2 meme-miners (sorry   but the battle of the ego is funny) might pick them faster than I include them in my release.
actually it works also with skein...

I'm using VS Express 2013 for Desktop
For the dependencies I mostly use Christian's files because I'm too lazy to compile them myself:

(see first post in this thread)
I only had to compile MPIR myself.

Great stuff going on here in this thread, but ChrisH and I will be sticking to developing prime number maths in CUDA for a while. Implementing a fast Montgomery multiplication / exponentiation is challenging. Almost there... so close ;-)

Including the errors.  I get errors when trying to compile.

Can Cudaminer do sha256 ?

[djm34]

Can Cudaminer do sha256 ?

wanna mine against TH/s asics ?  

yes it can, but it's not worth it (also I don't know if there is one or two loop of sha256... which doesn't change anything actually)
I think it is doing stuff around 300MH/s (say some optimization could double it or quadruple it... it would still be 1GH/s against several TH/s machine (not farm) so unless it is a ninja launch and you are the only one aware it, you don't have a chance to get a block.
And if you get one, it will orphan...

yep   your right djm34. one 750ti would get about 2 coins a day.  on sha256 coin.

These files contain the heartbleed version of openssl. This meens that the miner computer can be infected.

No, not really. I don't use encrypted connections for mining.

But if the ti is used to predict the outcome of the final hash, you might not need to compute all the hashes. Then the TI beat the TH's asiscs.

Predict -> verify (cpu)

Nope it's a data leakage bug - read access to 64kb of a memory pool page of recently freed allocations. It carries no infection risk.
