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

[djm34]

Reminder,

Lots of good stuff on IRC
Channel: #ccminer

tsiv & djm34: get your asses into the IRC channel 

is it still open ?

Quick Windows 7 Question, if I wanted to have one batch file (to launch nvminer) that I could launch on another home group computer how would I do this, so I only have to modify one batch file when I want to make a change...thx

After OCing and thanks to the help of Cayars and VesperCore, here is my hashrate:

You only need the toolkit if you want to compile.  Not for normal use.

Thx... but when I try to use it, it says it can't find the drivers;
Regular ccminer works perfectly.

Make sure you are running a version >=340.52 of the nVidia drivers. Latest compiled versions of most miners require it now since the authors are ditching CUDA 5.5.

Thx... downloaded 340.52 driver and now its working.  

But the first time I start nvMiner and ccminer it crashes. The second time works fine.

What are these numbers at nvMiner: (19505-126) yay

What cards/OC do you have? 1320+ core is crashing on me every few hours.

I have 4 Asus 750Ti and 2 Gigabyte 750Ti.

You can see the core and mem speeds on the printscreen in my previous post. Basically 4 cards got +140 / +130 and 2 got +160 / +130. They can be pushed a tiny bit more but I prefer stability over the few hashes I will get.

Every card is different when it comes to OC. Even the same model from the same brand might not be able to have the same OCing. This is what I experienced.

Hi Guys,
I use ccminer on a linux machine with 4 off GTX 750 Ti (no OC)

My hash rates are all in the right ball park but always lower than others report.
Can someone summarise the best versions of CUDA and drivers to compile new ccminer versions on linux?

I am using:
cuda_6.0.37
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.17

ccminer source was taken from djm34's fork on 11th July.
# ccminer --version

Linux is always slower than windows but more responsive with running ccminer though. I have both OSs on the same hardware and linux do ca 5% less hashes. I use Linux Mint x86-64, CUDA 6.0 and 340.2x (do not remember last digit) driver.

[NeuroticFish]

I don't know if it helps, as I am on windows and I have older GPU, but I am using a compiled ccminer, I think it's 0.5 and it was built around (or before) 27 March (I use it because I have only compute 2.1).

The already built binaries may have optimizations you may not know how to add. The newer ccminer has new algos added, new optimizations, but maybe they don't work that well with HVC.

I suggest you to also try CudaMiner/CCMiner threads, they know far better their software https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=167229.0;topicseen

Any ideas on how to monitor hash rate with ccminer running in background on linux?

I have a switching program that moves pools by stopping and starting ccminer. I don't have any display output though (eg; stdin and stderr both go to /dev/null)

Is there way to monitor what the cards are doing in terms of hash rate and temperature?

redirect stdout+stdin to a file instead /dev/null. you can truncate the file periodically to avoid excesive growth.

Yes that should work, but I am using Python's Popen to start ccminer and funny things happen with stdout etc.
However I will give that a go and see what happens.
I was hoping there might be another command somewhere that would report stats :-(

Thanks

how you feeling Christian? I still owe you some more beers. soon? 

[bigjme]

bigjme,

What do you have in store for cudamining.cc as some of the next features?

Can we get a CUDA Utils/Other page?

We could put:
1) Link to drivers and miner version needed
2) OC utils here plus some cool stuff like
3) Links to things like CCManager and KB's Profit Calc

Yes. Split screen must be now in category "cool stuff like CCManager anf Profit Calc"

MAYBE.

I think it would be great to have a link at the top of the RELEASE page for the miners.   It might be a "util" but it works with the miners so it goes in both groups IMHO.  It should work with EVERY current miner release so it sort of defies category.  It used to be a miner but now is even better with the current implementation.  So maybe the current release could be on the "utils" page but a hard coded link is on the release page with a brief description and link to the utils page?!?!

Sort of best of both worlds.

What do you guys think?

HEY! don't tell me how to code

drop me a PM with an image of what you mean so i get a proper idea, adding it in paint will do..... i guess  

Lazy Ass!

We don't care about no stinking framework.  We just want Utils page.

Oh and how to compile under LINUX FAQ too.

Hey im all up for incentive donations.... anyone?..... no? 
I will get it added once i know what people want. The compiling under linux... not so easy as i don't have a linux system now

[tbearhere]

djm34,

On learning how to compile, cuda forum. Thanks for the info. To start, I have Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 installed on my computer, it comes with windows 8 of course. Do I still need it in the compiling folder to compile?  thanks

[tbearhere]

bigjme,

I just sent you 0.05000001btc so you know who its from.   if everyone would do that it would be a great incentive for bigjme. come on guys donate.
ps how many hits do you get a day? on http://cudamining.cc/url/releases?

And that btc i have is going for my first rig, took 6 months everyone.
