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

[teslaman]

Anyone had any luck with the GTX 260, I had an old one lying around which I chucked in a test machine but can't get more than 20kh out of it.

I get 44 kHash with Windows 7, cudaminer Version older than 2013-04-30 using

-i0 -l S27x3

It should work a bit faster on Windows XP or Linux

Christian

I'm getting 37 KH/s on my GTX 260 using this configuration. Sweet! 

I had to join and post THIS, because these comparison numbers are oddly so much lower than what I'm getting. Shoot, like I said in that post, I'm getting 43kh out of my old 8800GTS! I had also added my cards to the "Google Docs spreadsheet" so you can see my exact settings, but 30x7 is what I'm using on my GTX 280. In an update to that post, I've overclocked the 280 some more and now I'm getting around 110-113kh out of it. Even more confusing, the 260s are benchmarked pretty close to the 280s and are said to overclock even better than them.

cbuchner1, thanks for this awesome miner! I don't get why my numbers are so different, but hopefully it turns out to be something that can benefit everyone.

People asking for pool failover support should direct this question upstream towards the pooler's cpuminer project. I am working on a cudaminer release that is essentially a clean fork of that project, so it can always pull in any relevant feature enhancements or additions from upstream.

Glad to see the project is not dead. I really appreciate the effort you put into it

Sorry for nb question but i tried compile on windows and receive that message:

I don't think you used the correct pthreads version when linking. Try the one I linked to in first post. These are .dll files plus accompanying .lib files for linking.

"results does not validate on CPU!"

I get this error on every single accepted hash. Long poll works well so it is entirely unrelated to pools or latency (on which I have more than 99% efficiency on other miners anyway).

My setup: a 9600GSO running on a C2D.  Less than 1 g of ram. I've tried a lot of configs from autotune's 70x2 down to 6x1 with & without -m, -C, S, etc.
Cards gives me an pretty steady 12 kh/s rate, but nothing ever gets accepted.

Windows XP, Drivers, cuda, miner etc is up to date. pooler's cpuminer works well on this machine.

And apparently I'm not the only one with this problem... Any ideas?  I wanted to try an older version of cudaminer but couldn't find any.

I just want to work this card to death and cudaminer is the best program to do it with, but right now it feels like there's a subtle issue that is making all this effort go to waste...

Thx for any help

[cbuchner1]

My GK208 based GT640 card arrived (Asus GT640-1GD5-L). Uses 49 Watts of power (TDP) and performs 45 kHash/sec currently running the Titan kernel with -C 2 -l 42x3  I am going to tune and optimize this one further.

EDIT: the GK107 based GT640 cards with GDDR3 memory achieved 40 kHash in comparison. I think they were rated 65 Watts TDP.

EDIT2: corrected TDP figures. Also, the GT630 is 25 Watts TDP, but has slower GDDR3 memory only.

Hey Christian could you tell me please nb questions if im doing it right.
Im using 2010 Visual Studio and when you said "dependencies" i linked it inside properties of project. Has 3 places to put it 1st and 2nd is on "general" menu that has "(include and lib file locations)" that you speak about. And there is other menu called "linking" or "link" (im not in my pc). What dep. i must to link? openssl, curl and pthreads? Those "prebuildt" that comes with curl and pthreads works? or i must to build that dependencies? i ask it cuz 2010 Visual Studio request to "covert" files when i open curl and pthreads project, and im not shure if this process preserve the intention of this dependencies.

Thanks for 1st reply i thought you were disappeared

[cbuchner1]

Here's the relevant part of my directory structure of my Visual 2010 projects folder.
The project files I ship should allow you to build it right away, if you stick to the same
structure.

the pre-built ones for pthreads should work. I do not actually remember if I had to build
OpenSSL, curl, or zlib myself.

Is there any possible to compile and change anything about my problem? That is:
I can't pass the barrier of 10hk/s in windows 7 32 and 64 bits. Note i can reach 92kh/s in windows xp 32. I've done everything, change drives, change cuda tool kit, open like adm, try to install win xp 32 driver in windows 7 all without sucess.
I read what you wrote in one comment line named salva_kernel.cu :

Code:

// if not otherwise specified or required, turn single memory allocations off as they reduce
    // the amount of memory that we can allocate on Windows Vista, 7 and 8 (WDDM driver model issue)
    if (device_singlememory[thr_id] == -1) device_singlememory[thr_id] = 0;

What that suppose to mean? I can allocate more memory if i compile it put -1 or 1 in that " device_singlememory[thr_id] = 0 " line? If not there is another way to use cudaminer in windows 7? Im tired to use windows xp :/ Ty! *.*

If you don't mind me asking, why aren't you using the precompiled binaries for windows? I'm using W7 Ultimate 64 bits and it's working just fine, mining on it right now with a GTX 670 @ 162 kH/s.

[cbuchner1]

Windows XP uses the old driver model (most driver code running in kernel mode)
Windows Vista, 7, 8 use the WDDM driver model (most driver code running in user mode).

WDDM has some bizarre restrictions where you cannot allocate single memory block on the device exceeding a certain size. That size is MIN ( ( System Memory Size in MB - 512 MB ) / 2, PAGING_BUFFER_SEGMENT_SIZE )

source:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13851287/cuda-and-cudamalloc-allocation-large-block-of-memory-fails

This is why I added the single memory allocation switch, so I can break the allocation into many small chunks. However this is incompatible with the texture cache feature, so texture cache implies using single memory allocation.

The -1 means "use default behavior", whereas values of 0 or 1 allow overruling the behavior from command line.

And I really don't want to explain my source code in detail. The code is an all you can eat buffet, and there's no garçon to explain the ingredients.

The WDDM driver can behave strangely if too much memory is allocated on the GPUs. I've experienced everything from massive slowdowns to driver crashes. That included hash rates in the 10's on otherwise very fast GPUs.

So final result is that Gtx 280 wont work good in windows 7 all version isnt? Why other guys with gtx 260 can use it? This is what i cant understand

I tried use precompiled binaries but no good results too :/

I've done another fresh fork of the cpuminer project (this time cleanly using github, also creating a link to the "upstream" repo that I forked from). It compiles on Visual C++ 2010 and I tested the stratum support against coinotron (originally there was a problem with coinotron's server code, which is now fixed).

From then on it should be easy to stay in sync with additional features and fixes that may be added to pooler's cpuminer later on.

Now I just have to add back the CUDA support, but patience please. When you have a 18 month old son, you don't get to program all that often   In April/May wife and son were out of country, which explains why I had some much spare time to hack on the original cudaMiner releases.

I also have a compute 3.5 card at my disposal, so I can try optimizing the Titan kernels further. Those 256 registers per thread really want to be used

[Notanon]

Nice. Just built a new PC with a Geforce GTX 660 onboard and getting about 110kh/s with the current release, so will be interesting to see if my stales drop with stratum support.

[webr3]

Has anybody ran cudaminer on a K20 yet, if so what was the performance like?

[GoldBit89]

Is there a way to have log and share files saved to the computer much like cgminer does? If so what is the command i need to add to batch file?


Thanks.

[kenshin23]

I'm currently experiencing something weird with cudaminer. Khash/s jumps a lot, from being stable at 165 Kh/s to sometimes hashing at 160, 155, 80, 140, and so. Launch config at 70x2 then autoconfig. Still weird.

I hope Nvidia drivers didn't fry my card (yes, I had 320.18 before I read that those could kill it). Any way to tell if there's a problem that anyone knows about?

[Eli0t]

i found that both 32x4 and 64x2 worked the best but 32x4 gave a more stable hashrate

for your config try 35x4

have you tried running with -i 0 ?
