MINE MAX, HELIX WITH THE 2014-02-28 release. Also use this for improved Yacoin performance.

For keccak, use the T kernel now for Compute 3.5 devices. Careful, its warp limit is 24 not 32.

My GTX 750 Ti makes 164 MHash/s   << this is the new keccak ACE CARD.
My GTX 780 now breaks 200 MHash/s at 80% TDP.  YEAH BABY!

Thanks to Alexey for the submission, even though he bungled up the ROL macro at the first
attempt, which is why we didn't make the Helixcoin launch

What setting do you use for 750  ti . i can`t get more than 76000?

[cbuchner1]

What setting do you use for 570 ti . i can`t get more than 76000?

you're lacking a hardware feature that enables this speed-up: the funnel shifter.
The keccak improvements target Compute 3.5 devices or better.

unless you meant to say 750 Ti

Code:

cudaminer --algo=keccak -d gtx780,gt640,gtx750ti,gtx750ti#2 -i 0 -m 1 -l T2304x24,T768x24,T1024x24,T1024x24 -L 1024 -o stratum+tcp://maxpool.1gh.com:17333 -u mKbA9HoN13R6MYzhfuRCAeAyVAsqb7TiDy -p x

I am almost at 5 helix lol
For the new version what kind of config should we used ? same as the previous version except T instead of K ?

and lower the x32 to x24. yes.

Thanks , I was lacking brain features , cause i was using the 18.02 release. now i get 167mhs each. 
You rock man!!!

I had the lucky idea to check the 64 bit rotate performance, and Alexey @nVidia did it this afternoon - and this is the result. Turns out the compiler was originally creating a complex instruction sequence, which Alexey was able to replace with two funnel shifts only.

Nice increase in the hashrate, the 780ti runs now around 315Mhash/s (before it was around 250~260Mhash/sec)

CudaMiner for OS X has been updated to run without requiring Xcode, MacPorts, and other setup steps. 

For binaries and instructions see http://www.johnchapman.net/cudaminer/

Prerequisites

• Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, or OS X 10.9 Mavericks
• Compute 2.x or Higher NVIDIA GPU (Compute 1.x GPUs are not supported), see https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus for a listing of supported devices
• CUDA Toolkit and Drivers 5.5: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads

CudaMiner for OS X previously required installing Xcode and MacPorts, in addition to a number of configuration steps.  These are no longer required. 

The 2014-02-28 release for OS X is available here: http://www.johnchapman.net/crypto-currency/cudaminer-2-28-2014-release-now-available-for-os-x-10-7-10-8-and-10-9/

Happened to be at my machine when it came through on the feed from GitHub :-)

Do you overclock? Everytime I see your hashrates they're always a bit higher than mine. My 780ti is getting ~280Mhash/sec with:
--algo=keccak -d gtx780 -m 1 -L 1024 -l T2880x24
Card is stack EVGA SC clocks.

Also have it scripted and all I have to do is enter the build date

Yes It is overclocked (on a mod bios)
TDP 120% (that's why I modded the bios)
Temp Limit: 75°C
Core Clock: 1240MHz    (in MSI AB: +230)
Mem Clock: 3500Mhz (stock)

here the command line I use:
cudaminer.exe --algo=keccak  -i0 -q -m1 -d gtx780 -b16384 -C2 -lT2880x24 -L1024 -s3 -R2 -H 2

I am not entirely sure the the -b16384 play a role with i0 though (the -C2 is in principle useless)

Here's my tentative roadmap for continued development. Note the lack of a time table

1) fix the issue with PCIe bandwidth, so people with 1x risers are more happy. CUDA can do all the
    hash evaluation so we save a LOT of bus bandwidth.

2) Add blake256 for blakecoin and related coins.

3) look at implementing some failover options

4) see if I can get a monitoring API included

Nvidia will give you some big $$...would turn those 40w/350kh/s 750ti's into proper mining cards if you did.

EDIT: and the linux oc soft? I want precision x for linux :p -will donate if these things come out-

Hey guys,

A friend has 2x 690s

The 690s have dual-cores so when running benchmarking the following GPUs are listed:
GPU #0
GPU #1
GPU #2
GPU #3

There are also 4 GPU's listed in the device manager in windows.

We can only get GPU #0 and GPU #1 to mine in a pool however.
Can anyone advise if they are using the hashing power of the other cores on the circuit board, or whether we have missed something in the config.

Currently using:

cudaminer.exe -H 2 -d 0,1 -l K16x16,K16x16 -i 1,0

I know the above is specified for 2 cards but not sure if this is relating to cores? Should we setup another bat file and define -d 2,3 ?
Didn't want to experiment with this incase it forced too much load onto the cards or something.

Thanks for any help in advance.

happy with a basic command line tool, too?
