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

[hero18688]

I am using ccminer-maxwell-1.5-git-sp-mod-r11 right now.But it stop running during I am sleeping.Any simple daemon process APPS for it?Not miner control,it's profit-switching miner.

Guys and Girls , Ive reached a good offer for a model of INTEL Xeon Phi 31S1P. They've launched a promotional offer here :
http://www.colfax-intl.com/nd/xeonphi/31s1p-promo.aspx

I'm considering buying couple of pcs. What is your opinion of it...

I'm wondering how it would perform with YACoin or other memory-intensive scrypt-chacha coins...

Upgrade to version 16 Beta. There is a memory leak in version 11.

version 16 is also faster. (x11 and x13) +50-100KHASH on the 750ti.

The 16th public beta(windows executable) is available here: (05-12-2014)

http://www.filedropper.com/release16

The sourcecode is available here:

https://github.com/sp-hash/ccminer


I compiled a version for the older cards (compute 3.0) here (ccminer30.exe)

Thanks.+50 for me.I am wondering what's your settings for cpu and memclock?

Seems there is new algo on the street!

I just noticed that RC1 of sgminer-Lyra2RE has been released: https://github.com/metalicjames/sgminer-Lyra2RE/releases/tag/5.0.0-Lyra2RE-RC1

Are there already some test pools / testnets to test the new sgminer-Lyra2RE on Lyra2RE stratum mining?

I am pretty sure you'll find the ccminer version in the same github repository. 
Both sgminer and ccminer kernels are still preliminaries, however it is possible to test them on vtc test pool
(info on vtc thread)

And you can find it there because of excellent, hard djm34's work
(if someone didn't discover it yet... )

Guys and Girls , Ive reached a good offer for a model of INTEL Xeon Phi 31S1P. They've launched a promotional offer here :

Interesting offer, but this is a passively cooled card and you will have to have a server type case that provides the correct airflow. Seems that Intel wants to get rid of some hardware stock that no one wants to buy  Also it seems they have already sold off all cards?

Your mainboard needs to be able to map 8 GB of 64 bit PCIe address space correctly. Lots of consumer mainboards might not be able to do this, as consumer graphics cards typically map a small address window (e.g. 256 MB) into 32 bit address space.

There is no crypto mining software available for these cards. If you are able to program, you might still be able to pull off something interesting with these cards. We could team up, as I have an Intel SC3120A card that is currently unused.

Hi, Chris,

Do you think it's possible to port wolf's cryptonight cpu-miner (https://github.com/wolf9466/cpuminer-multi) to run on Xeon Phi (offload mode)?

[myagui]

Hi, Chris,

If you haven't already, why not join IRC, #ccminer @ freenode, and check if Wolf0 would be willing to do it? It'll probably cost you, but maybe it is worth it? I'd love to see someone figuring out a way to really bump cryptonight mining performance. On a similar note, it would be awesome if SP_ would eventually pickup the cryptonight ccminer and optimize the damn thing 

Happy Mining!

Everyone should join that IRC channel Loads of mining talk there, but can always use a few more souls

Wolf, in your cudaminer fork for BBR, I see quite huge amount of context switches per second,
what cause high cpu utilisation:

what is the reason of it? maybe there is a way to avoid it?

Hi miners and miner coders.

Could someone who knows this miner coding stuff make a support for old compute 2.0/2.1 and compile it for windows?

would like to try mining x15 and neoscrypt.
With ccminer 1.0 gtx580 (stock clock) gives ~2 mh/s X11 and ~1.6mh/s X13, quite decent mhs for old card.
Could it get more with new ccminer and updated kernels?

I have few gtx580 laying on the shelf, would be nice to put those back in better use. Even if they only give a small support to network.

Respect to all miner coders
without them mining would be worthless and there would be no mining anymore.

A bit off topic PSA: Don't increase the TDP on cards (750 Ti) that doesn't have 6 or 8-pin power connectors if you're using these with the risers:



This just popped after running for months without issues. And I only had the card at 45W TDP.
If they have 6/8 pin power connected to them they will be fine because that will be the main source.

Sorry to see that.

Just to add one more thing, do not use more than 2 on each daisy chain. Those daisy chains aren't designed to pull a lot of power through them.

Yeah, even on a quality PSU if I put 3 cards on one chain the cable gets warm after a while. I'm sticking with these cables, have dozens of them but I'll be limiting the TDP for the most power hungry algos that's for sure.

If anyone still decides to invest in 750 Ti's for mining for some reason, do not buy cards which doesn't have 6-pin power inputs. I have both MSI and ASUS 6-pin-less cards and they are a pain compared to Gigabyte cards with 6-pin.

had the same problem with one , however it happened at the other end of the cable (and there was only one gpu on the whole psu, my 780ti and obviously nothing else on that cable).
I think the culprit are those small cables.  
Best move: remove those piece of crap and plug the riser directly into one molex of the psu.
(and as you can see it has nothing to do with the presence of 6pin or not...)

This cable is problem, loose contact right there where burnt. That's why card has multiple gold plated contact points for 12V/GND. And I use only cards without 6/8 pin conn, but good MB and maximum 3 per board. For more you must use powered risers but MAKE shure all connectors are fully seated and clean

this is strange one of those can carry 65w

hi!!!

it is possible to know if cudaMiner implements load balance?
i need it to use one gpu, 970, over more accounts/miner instance!!

thanks!!!

it may work as long as you have enough vram, but if you run out of memory expect a crash...
(also it is't obvious if the algo are too different... was testing lyra while running on something else, the other miner did crash)
