Hi,
I have this issue when compiling on debian wheezy 64. On make give me this error:

it seems to be an gcc version issue. Any idea?

Evidently. Why don't you try with gcc-4.4.

[cbuchner1]

Specific versions of the CUDA toolkit only support specific gcc version ranges. Note that you will need CUDA toolkit 5.0 to compile cudaminer. About the gcc requirements for this toolkit, please consult the READMEs and release notes that accompany it.

Christian

[cbuchner1]

To build on Windows, use Visual C++ 2010 (the Express version is enough) and the CUDA toolkit 5.0.

Download (and in some cases build statically) the dependencies first. These are listed in the first posting.

Open the VisualC++ 2010 project file for CudaMiner. Possibly adjust the paths to the dependencies (include and lib file locations) and build.

i want to compile cudaminer-src-2013.04.30 on debian wheezy ... I don't see noting on README.txt file on requirements ... please help, it looks a great piece of code

[cbuchner1]

The CUDA 5.0 toolkit release notes state exactly what distributions and compiler revisions it supports:

On the amazon instance,

cudaminer gives 150 kh/s per M2050 (compute capability 2.0)   versus 95 kh/s for cgminer.

F-secure no longer treat Cudaminer as a Trojan. I submitted it for a analyze and they released database update.

Can you elaborate on the setup, the type of instance, etc.  -- and perhaps even be so kind to provide a screenshot?

[jdebunt]

should be my last day using cudaminer, i'm gonna miss this piece of software...it's got nostalgic value for me

[cbuchner1]

switching to ATI/AMD cards?

[Necrotech]

Anyone tried to use the this program in a system with both AMD and NVIDIA GPUs? With single GeForce 660 GTX it works fine, but when I add Radeon HD 4830 to my PC and trying to launch the miner, it constantly writes

Code:

[<date> <time>] 1 miner threads started, using 'scrypt' algorithm.
[<date> <time>] Long-polling activated for http://de2.suprnova.cc:8336/LP
[<date> <time>] GPU #0: GeForce GTX 660 with compute capability 3.0
[<date> <time>] GPU #0: interactive: 0, tex-cache: 1D, single-alloc: 1
[<date> <time>] GPU #0: using launch configuration S80x2

and then crashes. Tried to re-install the drivers, but that didn't help.

It does not matter if the AMD driver is installed, the crashes are caused by the presence of the AMD GPU itself.

CUDA Miner launch settings:  -o blah -O blah -d 0 -i 0 -l S80x2 -C 1
OS: Windows 7 x64
NVIDIA driver: 320.18

Is there a way to use the GeForce for CUDA mining without removing the AMD graphic card?

Off the top of my head. I can't recall if there is commands in cudaminer, but why don't you just disable the AMD card in device manager? Launch CUDA miner...set it to run. Re-enable?

[Necrotech]

...but why don't you just disable the AMD card in device manager? Launch CUDA miner...set it to run. Re-enable?

It's not the solution. The error is absolutely the same with disabled AMD GPU.

Looks like you've fallen victim to anti-competitive behavior by nVidia. They've pulled the same shit with PhysX support in the presence of an ATI device (even integrated graphics).

any chance you can help tacotime?

Just a headsup, I updated to 320.18 today for my gtx 460. My system started freezing randomly. Locking itself completely, no reboot or BSOD. I didn't know what it was at first and was even thinking it was my motherboard or ram(both brand new). I forgot that I had updated the driver earlier. I searched the forums and others are having trouble with this driver even for 6xx's. Some people are getting BSOD. Someone mentioned something about it maybe trying to access a spot in memory that already in use? IDK details, but the driver sucks. I've never seen one so bad. Downgraded back to 314.22 and zero problems. I see people were also having trouble with the 320.xx betas. Please don't upgrade if you don't have to.

The only point to do this if you intend to commit fraud against amazon. I actually got about 154 kh per card. if you also mine with the cpu.. It's a total of 360 kh/s per instance. That's 2 dollars a day in LTC cost of 7 dollars a day in Amazon charges. you also would get downtime if you limitted your spot instance to .30 an hour cost.
