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

[bigjme]

do u have a link to this GPU-Z you speak of, should I just google it

yes just google it

[hacksaw907]

yeh i can see a lot of people are going to ask, here is 32bit and 64bit ccminer 0.6 compiled
https://mega.co.nz/#!Aw13XIYD!ETSB1GRSQdmqGt1jnlMLV4ZOhJ__qtfOSc0vOMKyUQY

Thanks bigjme. Is this Compute 3.5? I tried using your compile with my same old groestl bat file. The performance was worse. From 3100+ kh/s down to ~2450kh/s. You experiencing any difference?

on Windows this should now be built in four flavours, when done correctly

Compute 2.0  with #define MAXWELL_OR_FERMI 1   <-- Fermi
Compute 3.0  with #define MAXWELL_OR_FERMI 0   <-- old Kepler
Compute 3.5  with #define MAXWELL_OR_FERMI 0   <-- highend Kepler and GT630/640 with compute 3.5
Compute 3.5  with #define MAXWELL_OR_FERMI 1   <-- for Maxwell

the flag must be set in both .cu modules with "groestl" in its name. It affects
the speed optimization of the Groestl code.

at some point I will code a runtime selection of the MAXWELL_OR_FERMI flag.

Christian

I'm guessing the build bigjme made was for maxwell and that's why my 670 in the system is reporting crazy high hashrate, but is there a chance it's actually hashing between 1-2Mhash? lol  (I normally run separate bat files but I just left it since it looks like I've missed the train on this one anyways)

I just compiled the build straight from github sorry guys.

Would it be possible for you (or someone else) to compile it with the "#define MAXWELL_OR_FERMI" flag to 0? I would like to use the myriad-groestl algo, but my 780's are getting the insane hashrates with no confirmations bug, as others are getting on non-Maxwell cards.

I tried doing it myself, but Nvidia's CUDA toolkit doesn't recognize Visual Studio Express as a legitimate VS application, so I'm not exactly sure what else to do.

If you could even point me in the direction where I can find instructions to compile it myself if compiling it is too much trouble on your end, I'd really appreciate it.

Is there any improvement for scrypt coins with ccminer vs cudaminer?  If not and this is now all about the asic resistant coins then perhaps a new thread should be started.

that one does have the flag set to 0, but doesn't have the spelling error fixed, which may be causing errors

so you need it with flag 0, but what version? (x86 or x64)

on a side note, anyone using nvapi, if you can help me figure out how on earth you can return an NvAPI_ShortString value that would be great, i can not for the life of me get it to return the fullname of the card, compiling is throwing and issue, here is the bit of code, and the error

Code:

NvAPI_ShortString name;
syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'name'

ooo and ccminer does not mine scrypt

Well then this project is completely different than what cudaminer started out as and a new thread should be started unless you are trying to keep this under wraps.  Also, does that mean the original cudaminer project has been abandoned?

Give it a try.
Approved and supported by C&C musicminer factory...

cudaminer is still working, and this thread is still for cudaminer, we just often talk about ccminer

[cbuchner1]

jackpotcoin is going to adopt the keccak-only approach permanently. Meaning ccminer will continue working past block 6000.

see line 139ff here
https://github.com/rtc29462/cpuminer/blob/master/jackpot.c

the other hashing functions have been commented out.

I would have fixed it differently, but I wasn't asked

you don't have time, your too busy finding errors in coins
christian have you ever looked through the docs for nvapi?

i am messing with it now and it will most likely be a better solution for you to use then nvml as its 32 and 64 bit

I would like both if possible, but if that is too much trouble, x64 only would be great.

Thank you kindly for your help!

well it isn't like he invented any of the algo, he doesn't have to feel attached to them...

i will compile it for you now then

[cbuchner1]

"Initially exposed only to OEMs and game developer tools, NVAPI is now available for download to all developers interested in building Windows applications on NVIDIA GPUs."

it's Windows only. Meh.

hmm what about implement it into the windows build and use nvidia-smi under linux?
you already have the if definition for if its windows or not

you would need to use something like this

Code:

#ifdef _WIN64
    return "Windows 32-bit";
    #elif _WIN32
    return "Windows 64-bit";
    #elif __unix || __unix__
    return "Unix";
    #elif __APPLE__ || __MACH__
    return "Mac OSX";
    #elif __linux__
    return "Linux";
    #else
    return "Other";
#endif

Still having trouble mining Myriad with my GTX 750. I am so frustrated, did not think it would be this difficult. Downloading latest nVidia drivers to see if it helps. When I run my command to start ccminer the program runs for 1 second then closes, so I can't even read the error messages. Can someone please share their knowledge with me before I punch another hole in my wall?

run the bat file from command prompt and it will pause long enough for you to see the error

Compute 3.5  with #define MAXWELL_OR_FERMI 0

Thanks, bigjme, for the Fermi 1 windows compile.   My hash rate on Groestl is up 25+% on my 750 TI vs the 0.6 version 

[OmarGsPools]

Let me know if you guys need any pools for some of the odd algorithms. I run a mini 750Ti GPU farm so instead of solo mining I'd be fine with starting up pools.

I like the look of you jackpot coin pool. Have you tried to get the ccminer implemented into it?

[DELTA9]

I tried doing this and the error message I get says something about nVidia drivers. I just updated mine to the most recent. Is there any hope?
