That's my stratum .bat file.

Sorry the port was there, I accidentally edited it out when I posted.  I was using port 3333.

[ffernandex]

in the arguments given to configure, expand CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS with -m64, possibly also the LDFLAGS.
Try forcing it to build 64 bit. Maybe also edit the Makefile to include -m64 in the arguments given to NVCC.

Christian

Thank you, I tried all these, but the error keeps coming.

[Schleicher]

I was using port 3333.

That's the wrong port. 8332 is the right one:

Code:

PROXY IS LISTENING ON ALL IPs ON PORT 3333 (stratum) AND 8332 (getwork)

Doh that is because Cuda is a getwork program, not a Stratum. DOH!  That seems to have fixed my issue, well not really since I am still stupid but... :p

[cbuchner1]

Update the first post with donation address. Call it motivation addresses or something

Great work.

The address has been on that page since day 1.

Hey, I need something for you to properly implement this in GUIminer, which is to allow a flag that updates the hash rate piped to the console at a given rate, eg 1 line containing hash rate and hashes per second.  Then it should be ready to go.

Aggregated over all GPUs? Isn't the term hash rate synonymous to hashes per second?

I will see what I can do.

[dentldir]

Just tested another 660ti on 4-30.

Using my best previous 42x7 w/ 1D cache, I was unable to compare against S42x7 because of a 1d limit.

Then I let it autotune with "-l S", and it found S114x2, which is over 10% faster than my best.

So I went from 152KH/s, to 170KH/s.  No overclocking.

Good stuff man.  You are a CUDA beast.  You don't have a Feathercoin donation address do you?  I hopped onto an FC pool with cudaminer and its chugging right along.

Yeah, but cgminer and reaper send an update as to what the current average khash/s is every second (reaper by default and cgminer if you set the interval to 1 sec).  It doesn't matter if it's across all GPUs or one, as guiminer uses separate instances for each video card.

I'm not sure if it does already, but you may also want to have the program save autotune settings after it calculates them as well, to reduce the amount of time it takes upon running it again.

Stale rates are also high on my GTX 460 (7%) with autotune, not sure why.

Thanks!

[statdude]

Sweet - Thanks again.. I'm sure I'll be back tweaking and setting up more rigs if it's profitable!

I am showing as
146.743 KH/s 0.36249 LTC/d on the Wincoin page.

But, I've not received any transactions. How often should I expect to receive LTC?

That depends on the pool. Also, what limits you have set on your account at whatever pool you joined. I think every pool I have joined for any coin has always been set at no auto withdraw ... and that is usually 0.

Just an update. After doing some minor overclocking (VERY MINOR), I"m getting 200+ hash on my GTX 570. So a steady 230 or so with CPU. not bad.

[termhn]

My 670 is now at 185 khash/s with the new update and -l 56x4 -C 1

Something really weird goes on when trying to dump stdout and stderr using subprocess with python...  Having a nightmare of a time with it, basically nothing comes through stdout/strerr until I close the process, in which case a million or so "\n"s show up.  Argh.  Going to bed soon, but this is driving me nuts.

edit:
It looks like applog's function is writing to something that python doesn't recognize as stderr or stdout (which is weird because cgminer/reaper are fine...) at the level of the console

For instance, if I run this code:

Code:

import os, subprocess, sys

cmd = "\"C:\Python27\poclbm\cudaminer\cudaminer.exe\" -o http://ltc-pooldirect-a.kattare.com:9332/ -O user:pass -d 0 -i 0 -l auto -C 0 -m 1"
# cmd = "dir"
print cmd

p = subprocess.Popen(cmd,
    stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
    stderr=subprocess.STDOUT,
    universal_newlines=True,
    creationflags=0x08000000,
    shell=True)
    
while True:
    inline = p.stdout.readline()
    if not inline:
        break
    sys.stdout.write(inline)
    sys.stdout.flush()

Nothing happens, although an instance of cudaminer is indeed spawned.  However, if I uncomment the cmd = "dir" line, python outputs the stdout response of dir just as expected!  In the meantime, if you run in windows and use "> output.log 2> output.err.log" you get a normal stdout and stderr log.  No clue what's going on!

I am trying to use stratum proxy to mine at wemineltc.com which supports longpoll "ancient technology" ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=169249.0 ). 

cudaminer will detect longpoll support when used  the stratum proxy (downloaded from wemineltc.com ) and default to using longpoll (127.0.0.1:3332/lp). I find I can use --no-longpoll to disable it on cudaminer. So my question is disabling longpoll a recommended practice where it is an option?

[cbuchner1]

My 670 is now at 185 khash/s with the new update and -l 56x4 -C 1

Wouldn't -l S56x4 or S28x8 and -C 2 be faster?

[shatter]

Somehow the ones above are not working for me good.

using: -D -C 2 -i 0 -l 69x2  -> resulting in 165 kHash any idea to improve?

Kind of noob to this topic so

Card using 820MB memory, GPU 1150, memory clock 1500, temp fine all the way.

[cbuchner1]

Using my best previous 42x7 w/ 1D cache, I was unable to compare against S42x7 because of a 1d limit.

Turns out the limit checking had a small bug. It was checking against limits that were valid only for the old "S" kernels. The new limits will be about twice the size. If you re-download the archive, you might be able to check again.

[SubNoize]

I don't know if i've seen this answered or not but what is the difference between -l 32x7 and S32x7 ??

[shatter]

This is written in the Readme, hope it helps:

Currently there is just one prefix, which is "S". Later releases may
see the introduction of more kernel variants with using other letters.

Examples:

e.g. S27x3 is a launch configuration that works well on GTX 260
      28x4 is a launch configuration that works on Geforce GTX 460
     290x2 is a launch configuration that works on Geforce GTX 660Ti

You should wait through autotune to see what kernel is found best for
your current hardware configuration.

The choice between Non-Titan and Titan CUDA kernels is automatically
made based on your device's compute capability. Titans cost around
a thousand dollars, so you probably don't have one.


Prefix  | Non-Titan          | Titan
-------------------------------------------------------
 <none> | low shared memory  | default kernel
        | optimized kernel   | with funnel shifter
        |                    |
   S    | spinlock kernel    | spinlock kernel
        | for Kepler GPUs    | with funnel shifter
