DiabloMiner GPU Miner

[DiabloD3]

does diablominer work with the new getwork from the official client ?

Not yet, still gotta use m0's version instead.

Sigh, -s did not work as well as I had hoped, and now it is gone. There goes my 99.1% efficiency, back to 95% I go.

I've updated the mhash counter code to average over 30 seconds, and I've also added executor lockup detection (which should never happen, but apparently does on really fubar machines).

Fixing it to work on satoshi's getwork impl is still on my todo list.

Also, for those having the lwjgl ELFCLASS32 bug on Ubuntu x86-64, I've discovered the fix: your DISPLAY is unset because you're running it headless over ssh. Do export DISPLAY=:0 before running and it should work fine now.

Hi, I am trying the latest DiabloMiner build.
But when i run

Code:

./DiabloMiner-Linux.sh -u user -p pass

i am still getting same error:

Code:

Added GeForce 8800 GTS (12 CU, 1x vector, local work size of clang: Too many positional arguments specified!
Can specify at most 1 positional arguments: See: clang --help

I am runnig Debian Testing and my GPU is GeForce 8800 GTS.

Can someone help me?

[SmokeTooMuch]

Try

Code:

./DiabloMiner-Linux.sh -w 128 -u user -p pass

Maybe it works when you specify the work size (-w switch)

Hi Diablo, I just tested your miner against current (0.3.17) client version (unpatched) and this does not work. There is getwork feature already included in official client. Do you plan to update your API to accept default client implementation? It would be cool.

One more question. Is possible to add parameter to specify port or even whole URL to client? Now you only accept 'host' parameter, so both port or path inside uri are hardcoded inside. I'm working on cooperative mining and I would like to test it against your miner, too. Full URL in command line whould help me a lot.

Thanks, Marek

Nvidia drivers currently have a bug that Nvidia has not fixed yet. There was already an issue open about this on the tracker.

Its on the todo list to make it work with satoshi's getwork impl.

My client supports both host and port, see -o and -p. If you need anything else, it may be more useful to request something from satoshi as to support in the official client (which then I can support).

OSX seems to suffer from the same bug Nvidia does. Neither of them support the specification required ability to do -Dfoo=bar.

Oh, I missed -p parameter. I expected -o to be full http address of json rpc. It is good enough now, I can point my json rpc service to root path on some port.

Do you see a fix for this in the future?

Ask Apple. They do not comply with the specification, and they probably don't care.

Update: Miner now works with Satoshi's getwork impl, so you don't need to patch anymore.

You two are both suffering from the fact Nvidia has broken drivers. They do not comply with the OpenCL specification. Until either they fix it, or I figure out a workaround that doesn't involve me getting rid of defines in the kernel altogether, this can't be fixed.

Go bitch at Nvidia, maybe they'll listen if more people do it.

Damnit!!!  Proprietary crap!!!  I swear, I will never work at a pro-IP corporation ever or buy another closed-source piece of hardware ever!  My new goal in life: develop and release an open source GPGPU.  Or maybe for the time being write an open source bitcoiner FPGA miner and post it to opencores.org...

Do you know of open source drivers that I can use instead?

Open source drivers won't get you an open source OpenCL compiler and implementation, unfortunately.

The open source driver bits are mostly there.  The driver folks know how OpenCL will work, what ioctl(s) it will use....  once an open source OpenCL exists.

Its not the proprietary crap issue. Catalyst on Linux works fine, but obviously you need AMD hardware to use AMD drivers.

FPGAs aren't worth dealing with. Due to the cost of mass producing a generic massively parallel high throughput product like Radeon 5xxx series GPUs, you need about $3k worth of FPGA hardware to keep up with a $500 5970. AMD, however, is paying several million dollars to develop an entire open source solution through the existing X/Mesa/DRI community (along with Intel).

Actually, Mesa has a very early non-functional prototype that uses Gallium. I suspect in the nest 2-3 years you can run my miner on Radeon 5xxx hardware with a fully open source stack.

However, as long as Nvidia continues to unofficially threaten to sue projects like Nouveau for trying to support Nvidia on the new Gallium stack, Nvidia is probably going to go bankrupt before they turn around and quit pissing off customers.
