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

[Coinman422]

Nope, that's groestl myriad.

Damn that sucks, well if anyone can help me with Heavycoin config for a 6970 i would be grateful. Wish it was as easy as it is on my nvidia rig.

Just posted a conf file there, copy it and modify it as you see fit! :p

Pretty much the same card, or pretty similar at least.

Yea i tried it for heavy it doesnt work, still cant get them above 1.5mh/s, oh well i guess ill keep tinkering with the settings.

CBuchner,
 
  Have you thought about BAMT integration? The developer  of Ex0-BAMT is looking to integrate cudaminer and ccminer into his custom distro and is asking for some help. I think integration into a live version of Linux would go a long way into your software adoption.

8mh/s for the 780ti (non shared memory, the one with shared memory gives 9.5mh)
Did you recompile with compute 3.5, it may-be a little faster.
Actually, this coin is really a cpu coin, my 3770 gets around 1.1mh/s (6 threads)

groestl, as implemented now, does a massive amount of random access lookups in S-box tables derived from AES.

CPUs have a bit of an advantage due to their big data caches. So the absolute speed-up of a GPU isn't
that great. Maybe factor 10.

By the way, according to some information I got an AMD R9 290X only does around 6.5 MHash/s. Can anyone confirm this? If so, we've got another nVidia coin here.

Christian

Groestl runs at 7.5MH/s on 6970 (900/500) and 5.3MH/s on 5850 (850/300). Low mem for running cool

what are your config/bat settings for your 6970's? i cant figure out how to get them past 1.5mh/s  

sgminer, badman74 build from 26-03 (https://github.com/badman74) :
sgminer -k groestlcoin --no-submit-stale -o stratum+tcp://grs.cpu-pool.net:3650 -u xxxxxxx -p x --auto-fan -g 4 -I 20 -w 256 --gpu-engine 900 --gpu-memclock 500 --thread-concurrency 7680

[cbuchner1]

check out this project

http://www.reddit.com/r/litecoinmining/comments/21hi4l/still_using_cudaminer_wouldnt_you_rather_use/

a version of sgminer that supports the 750 Ti and other Compute 3.5 devices natively. This means
you get API support, failover and more. Takes the scrypt kernel from cudaminer...

I got my 6950 to 10mh/s on groestl...so yeah.

Temporarily I created an app to auto-close any ccminer*.exe dialog window pop-ups, then the batchfile continues to auto-restarts the mining.

Last night it crashes twice for about 5hrs difference.

But too bad I can't do anything about the GPU idles (SICK?).

When a card goes idle or errors out for me usually just restarting the miner will not bring the card back up to full speed (usually just 10Khash/s or something like that).

You can reset the cards from the command line (using the DevCon [Developers Console] command available at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/311272) by disabling and enabling them again without restarting windows and it seems to always fix the problem for me.

first run 'DevCon find *' to list out all your hardware, and then find a unique part of the card ID to add to the command.

In my case '*dev_1380' identifies all my MSI 750 ti cards at once.

Quick and easy to add to your .bat loop.

devcon disable *dev_1380
devcon enable *dev_1380

Hope that helps!

This version didnt work for me@win7x64
There is another version available: http://delphintipz.blogspot.de/2012/07/disable-failed-no-devices-disabled.html

[he-man]

does any one have the command line for restarting ccminer35.exe WHEN it crashes? I want to make a batch file that does it, but I don't have the knowledge.

[djm34]

in a bat file
:loop
ccminer etc...
goto loop

However, if it crashes, it isn't a good idea to restart without investigating the crash...

[antonio8]

Kinda off topic.

I have one rig that completely shuts off about 1-2 hours after running. No monitor hooked up to it but both cards have dummy plugs.

The only way to turn it back on is to flip the switch on the psu then the power on/off button will work.

I am on windows 7 and tried to Google but is there an easy way to find some kinda log to see if I have an error causing it? Not sure if it is a power supply or a heat issue. It is an open air system. Not in a case at all.

If possible psu I can pick one up will I get a few more cards today.

You are right, I remember now having to do this as well when I first installed it on  x64, but forgot I had to extract it myself.

Here are the instructions on how to pull the file out of the x64 ISO themselves if they want to make sure they are getting the right file and concerned about other sources.

1. Download the Windows Driver Kit (WDK) 7.1.0 from Microsoft. Download here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11800  It’s an ISO image of hundreds of MB size.

2. Use Universal Extractor 6.1, to extract the ISO to a temporary file on your hard disk. Download here: http://filehippo.com/download_universal_extractor/

3. Using Universal Extractor again, extract the windows installer file “”WDK\setuptools_x64fre.msi“” to a temp directory. If it’s a 32 bit version, the file name may be little different.

4. In the temp installer file,  you will find “WinDDK\7600.16385.win7_wdk.100208-1538\tools\devcon\amd64\devcon.exe“. This devcon works fine, under W7x64 Pro.

Hope that helps. Once I had it extracted I just go grab it from other systems so I don't have to do that again Sorry I forgot that part.

Apparently restarting the ccminer works for me all the time and this happened to me twice and never restarted my rig ever since. Probably it doesn't behave like what cgminer's "SICK" issues.

Well it's a nice tip. When I'm remoting away from home I always enable/disable a specific AMD gpu and push few voltage a bit.

[ivanlabrie]

I'll try it. I have a few tasks and bat files to restart ccminer periodically but a few of the cards hash at 5mh/s after restarting it post crash.

Works but reverts all cards to stock clocks.

X64 isn't crashing for you folks?

I might revert to yacoin using cudaminer if I can't fix this. 

[djm34]

is it profitable yacoin ?
I always many people mining yacoin, but the last time I looked at it on exchange, it seemed there was no volume and the price is not that high...

I do get some crashes but I've set up the task scheduler to always reboot my machine when it's a driver error and it restarts all the processes on startup, also restarting your overclock programs which fixes the driver crash resetting the clocks to +0. You can look up your event viewer after a crash and note down the 4 digit error number that corresponds to the driver crash and create a shutdown -r process that's triggered by it.

I've also lowered my overclocks a couple on my 750tis when I noticed that crashes seemed to reset an overclock on some of my cards but not the others... they seemed stable at first but overnight, they would crash two or three times and lowering to a modest overclock seems to lower that number to about one crash per day at most which might not be related to the overclock.

[CodyF86]

Just a tip for the people running a 670 and/or a 770 as I have both who mine scrypt-n (2048) =)...

The fastest kernel for the 670..at least for me is k7x20...and ironically...
My 770 autotunes (fastest autotune I get) to kernel k8x16, which gets 178 kh/s (scrypt-n)

I read that an 770 is pretty much a slightly upgrade 680, so I tried to use kernel k8x20 and
I started mining on my 770 at 191 kh/s on scrypt-n.

So just a heads up; on normal scrypt my best 670 kernel is k7x32 (375 kh/s) and I haven't tried my 770 on
normal scypt yet, but hopefully this info can help someone. =)

P.S. All my cards are Zotac, the 670 is a reference model and the 770 is not a reference model, both are overclocked
to 1267 core and various memory...(memory doesn't seem to increase hash much at all)...

cudaminer.exe --algo=scrypt:2048 -d 0,1 -l K8x20,K7x20 -C 0,0 -i 0,0 -H 1,1 -m 1,1 -o stratum+tcp://url.url:port -O user.worker pass

[ltcnim]

finally finished the beta of my web interface for cudaminer/ccminer (yeah..i'm not good with colors ^^)



I just hope nvapi will soon be available under linux.

cgminer-heavycoin optimization updates increases power consumption and gpu temps, unlike the latest ccminer updates.

Plus 2x 750ti still beats 280x on hashrates...

Anyone solo mining scrypt-jane coins?  I'm trying to set it up but are there any differences I need to be aware of besides what to run in bat file?

[debido666]

a new Scrypt-Jane coin launching tonight: NITcoin! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=522329.0
for those wanting to mine METH (Keccak algo): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=500175.0

www.cryptolaunch.net will keep you updated on upcoming launches ;-)

Keep me posted on launches with new algos. This is where the C+C hash factory can play out their rapid CUDA programming card.

Christian

Meth coin seems good, NITCoin seems dead already (It's already launched according to their date, but the forum is not updated)

I don't know... the Heisenberg is already dead (may-be better to wait for the JessieCoin or a SaulCoin)
Graphene seems to do well even after the 3hours instamine/orphans launch... solo mining still gets several blocks/hours at the moment
