RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL)

[Schleicher]

any possibility to run this software under 64 bit operative system ? like win server 2003

It's running fine with Win 7 64Bit, it shouldn't be a problem running it with Server 2003.

i asked this because in windows server 2003 x64 edition this program not work

maybe i need a library, but i dont know what ( c++ redistributable, net framework  or what ? what version ? )

the program says to me : "the application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. reinstalling the application may fix this problemi"

this is the same error message i get when i try to start every executable in the folder of rpc miners

anyone have a solution ?

[Schleicher]

Yes, you probably need to install the redistributable package.
I don't know what compiler has been used, maybe you need this:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)
or this:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)

[hobo]

thanks schleicher !  i tryed at leat every version ( decrescent ) of c++ and finally ive found what they need !

visual c+ 2005 sp1 redistributable : http://download.chip.eu/it/Microsoft-Visual-C-2005-sp1-redistributable-8.0.50727.762_1789178.html

and this : visual c++ 2008 sp1 redistributable : http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=a5c84275-3b97-4ab7-a40d-3802b2af5fc2&DisplayLang=it


thanks for the help

These miners are a PITA to compile in *nix, and support has been scarse.
Safe to say, this is dead and buried...

I would also like a 64-bit compiled version to test if it is more efficient.

[gigica viteazu`]

is there any chance to add a statistics line like the others miners have ?

When using the CUDA miner in Guiminer, I am quite happy with the performance, although, when attempting to STOP the miner, it locks up my machine(s) SOLID......requiring the use of the RESET button.

Is this something unique to my situation ?

I have experienced this on a few machines, all running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 using the Guiminer front end.

Just came here to ask the same question. I get that on and off, when I try to Ctrl+C the miner, it instantly crashes the whole GPU - screen goes blank, fan roars, never recovers. Very frustrating and considerably dangerous (idly closing a program, WTF, there go all my open programs, thanks!), I don't know why more hasn't been made of this nor why CUDA mining - doing 12Mhash/sec on a mediocre mid-low-end '220 card - has been completely neglected by miner devs... rpcminer-cuda is the only true CUDA miner out there and it hardly even works right :/

[4EverMaAT]

with CUDA (or any of the puddinpop miners), is there an argument/parameter to force the GPU/CPU to sleep between cycles?  my GPU on my laptop (Nvidia geforce gt 525m) gets fairly hot when I attempt to run guiminer.  I think the first time I ran it (with the default guiminer miner), laptop shut down after 20 minutes of so (overheat protection I think).

Did a lot of googling, but no luck.

Was able to recompile the code on windows for support for revision 1.2, 1.3 and 3.0 devices (2xx and 6xx cards). (Note: It uses cubin 2.0 for 2.1 devices.. I expected a different cubin would be necessary but it looks like they're similar enough that it's not required; You can't even compile a 2.1 specific cubin with nvcc as far as I know.)

Contained in zip is rpcminer-cuda.exe along with the necessary cubin files.

I only changed the cubin file detection code in bitcoinminercuda.cpp and compiled the 3 new cubin files under their respective archs.

Code:

			if(major==3)
			{
				cubin="bitcoinminercuda_30.cubin";
			}
			else if (major==2)
			{
				cubin="bitcoinminercuda_20.cubin";
			}
			else if (major==1 && minor==0)
			{
				cubin="bitcoinminercuda_10.cubin";
			}
			else if (major==1 && minor==1)
			{
				cubin="bitcoinminercuda_11.cubin";
			}
			else if (major==1 && minor==2)
			{
				cubin="bitcoinminercuda_12.cubin";
			}
			else if (major==1 && minor==3)
			{
				cubin="bitcoinminercuda_13.cubin";
			}

Installation: Unzip and use rpcminer-cuda.exe with the default command params from post #1 of this thread.

I don't normally do this; but it took me half a day to get the compile environment working for rpcminer. If you'd like to toss me a tip: 136HdE3wxyfxFsuAHYZTLTHDopXYxRJej1

Do you know if rpcminer could still be compiled in Linux?

Took a shot at it but although cmake went fine, got a bunch of errors at make.

Tried also Ang3lus rpcminer mod which gives me the same error:

Erm, the only thing I might suggest is try cmake 2.8.9.. I vaguely remember there's some reason I needed .9??

Could be the card (GeForce GTX 470) unsupported ?

Could be the card (GeForce GTX 470) unsupported ?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA

The GTX 470 is arch 2.0 and should work just fine. I myself have a 460 and it works fine. But I've not tried to use it on linux.

Do you have the cubin files in the directory?

Specifically, bitcoinminercuda_20.cubin

You can download my most recent version a couple posts up to get compiled cubin files for archs 1.0-3.0

[philips]

No, I thought maybe the app itself doesn't support 470...I see.

Anyway, talking about this original rpcminer:
After compilation I have the necessary 20.cubin (created with nvcc, and then renamed etc) file but gives me that Unable to get function cuda_process 500 error.

Using your compiled 20.cubin file rpcminer goes further, but in the end also segfaults, exactly like Ang3lus-rpcminer-mod described above.

I also compiled a openCL only version and is behaving the same, starting apparently fine and segfaults in the end.

I'm not sure what to tell you. I know the Ang3lus has linux specific functions in it. I couldn't get it to compile under windows. I gave up fairly quick.

Do you have any gdbs on the segfaults?

[philips]

Thought about it (gdb) but in the end I gotta ask: is it worth it?

I mean (other than pure curiosity which drives me so far) is using this CUDA miner gonna bring me some gain in speed, so much that it would turn an Nvida card in something efficient for mining?

So you have an 460 and I suppose you have done some tests openCL vs Cuda with it...is there any significant improvement?
