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

[healthandwealth]

Hopefully cudaMiner will come out with a fix for Hirocoin.  When ASICs hit and Scrypt coin difficulty rises dramatically...X11 coins will be the new haven for GPU based mining.

Please check my advanced monitoring and start script @ccminer.0.5.
If you dont trust my exe files, you can replace them and recompile the autoit-files (source included).

Thanks Christian for posting that, I do basically the same stuff using the .bat files. One suggestion you may want to add is using '--incognito' on the chrome startup command, as it will avoid any problems of Chrome trying to recover any open tabs if the system freezes or boots for other reasons (pulling the plug remotely, etc...). Shouldn't change the behavior of the 3d .SWF at all as far as the mining goes.

I am going to try out the SWF now and see if it helps me at all.

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.

Look really nice, good work!

Thanks also.

Wow, Christian invasion! :p

Amazing work guys, seems like NVIDIA will be "the way it's meant to be mined" soon.

(It already is, imho, but software was lacking for a serious farm)

Same hashes@lower Watts.
You can also try if you can use that energy for
some more speed of the GPU.

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...

Christian

Hi, Christian

I have made new release of 64bit linux for Nvidia 750 Ti, also with statistics, monitoring and external failover function:
https://images.weserv.nl/?w=800&url=i.imgur.com/EueP51f.png&fnr

The only thing I had to tweak was: util.c
And my modification allows for syslog logging and normal cudaminer logging at the same time.
(normally, -S option switch off the cudaminer app logging)

Could you make an option for such duplicated logging in case of use -S (syslog) option ?
(of course - I can provide you my modified util.c file, if you want)


P.S.
"Well done mate, maybe you can share your tweaks with the cudaminer/ccminer developers?"

[bigjme]

Soo, the nice delivery man came today, can we guess what arrived? PIC

Hint: it contains the number 750
so after getting them running finally (had issues where windows refused all usb devices the second they were plugged in?!)

got that fixed, all the drivers installed. all running nice, but i need a little bit of help. These are my launch configs

ccminer-v0.5\x86\ccminer35.exe -a heavy -d 1 -o  -u x.user -p pass -v 512
ccminer-v0.5\x86\ccminer35.exe -q -s 1 -a groestl -d 3 -o  -u x.user -p pass
ccminer-v0.5\x86\ccminer35.exe -a fugue256 -q -s 1 -t 1 -d 2 -o  -u bigjme.worker -p pass

thats all sorted, i just need some recommendations of some good pools to run them on please....

Thanks

dwarfpool for fugue/groestl and hvc.1gh.com for heavy

dwarfpool for fugue/groestl and hvc.1gh.com for heavy

thanks, i know this may sound strange but this is what my miners look like with the launch configs i psted earlier

PIC
top left - groestl - ccminer-v0.5\x86\ccminer35.exe -s 1 -a groestl -d 3 -o stratum+tcp://erebor.dwarfpool.com:3345 -u wallet.1 -p 1
top right - fugue - ccminer-v0.5\x86\ccminer35.exe -a fugue256 -s 1 -t 1 -d 2 -o stratum+tcp://erebor.dwarfpool.com:3340 -u wallet.1 -p 1
bottom - heavy - ccminer-v0.5\x86\ccminer35.exe -a heavy -d 1 -o stratum+tcp://hvcpool.1gh.com:5333 -u wallet -p x -v 512

which just doesnt look right to me, the heavy coin maybe, the other 2 don't

are they right or is it me doing something wrong?

I have only been mining Heavycoin so don't know much about the other two at this point, but I do know it takes 20-30 minutes sometimes for the cards to hit max speed, and I always minimize the windows and use the -q options to limit the amount of data trying to be written to those windows.

You probably know this, but you mentioned 6 cards, but you only have one card assigned to each config here. Maybe that is what you were just doing to test it out...

Edit: Saw your pic above, and do only see three cards... so maybe that is all you ordered. Nix that then if that is the case. My cards always come up 0,1,2,3 though, so that seems a little odd to me... but I am no expert in how the PCI-e slots recognize things.

[djm34]

I can't say, if they are right or wrong, but the 3 are consistent to each other in terms of performance (compared to what I obtain with the 780ti). After you certainly need to overclock and/or mod bios to increase those performance.

[bigjme]

No i only have 3 750Ti's
One algo per card.

I know i can launch it twice per card to get extra performance but if their not mining right i dont need that yet. The hvc miner is close to 99% usage

The other 2 sitting at around 50% usage so should easily handle 2 instances

Right now im going to minimal power over performance :-)
New psu, new cards, power usage of my entire system should be tiny.

My main rig with the 780 in is chilling out at 60W usage (watercooled). Then i have those 3 cards running. Should be pretty low power usage

I also have an issue with the fugue launch where it almost crashes, saying its mining at like 5gh/s constantly, similar to cudaminer if you run an invalid launch config? It happens randomly but ive seen it twice now in less then an hour

EDIT
Ok so fugue was crashing so much ive switched the card to mine hvc. Another thing i noticed is that if i shut off a ccminer instance by clicking the X instead of CTRL-C it crashes any open groestl or fugue miners (shows stupid hash's a second). Heavy coin stays untouched....

EDIT
Getting the crashing on groestl aswell now.
Just switched all 3 cards to heavycoin with the same launch config. And weirdly 2 cards run fine, another hardly gets any shares atall and cudaminer 3.0 and 3.5 both crash after a few minutes

EDIT
Device 2 which is the one that keeps crashing is now only mining at 3MH/s on heavy, and wont clock itself up anymore to mine properly?
other 2 750Ti's are running fine

EDIT
sorry for so many edits :-(
i just changed my heavycoin config to this
ccminer-v0.5\x86\ccminer35.exe -a heavy -q -d 1,2,3 -o stratum+tcp://hvcpool.1gh.com:5333 -u wallet -p VIP -v 512

getting better hash rates, 33MH/s in total
slower shares, ooo and ccminer keeps crashing? if i use compute 3.0 or 3.5
any advice?

Why, Ivan... Why?

I didn't have one till recently :p
And my inet provider sucked till yesterday (got redundant isp's now, 6mb download...best I could get )

I'll flash a pendrive on Monday and try it on my main rig.
You have an API for cudaminer!?

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

I'm currently getting 963,000 Khash for 6x750Ti cards on that METH coin but pools are reporting 190,582,015 Khash. Not sure what's up with that or what is actually being counted.

I should have solo'd at launch since I was top of the hardcoreminers pool for the first 40min but their % jumped to 12,000 and never reported finding a block and then their pool went down

Dont worry..  I started solo right at launch with about 2GH and didn't get a single block. 

[Dotcommie]

Someone said there might be something wrong with the blockchain for METH.  It's currently at %15,000 on okaypool now.

I only got .69 METH for my troubles.  Lame.

Sadly I was forced to miss METHcoins
