[XPM] Working on a GPU miner for Primecoin, new thread :)

I only have 1 5870 GPU in my win7 box.

Using 4 or more CPU Threads it runs without crashing, but performance seems real slow (only 3 gandalf/s or less), and also seems to diminish steadily over time, as if there was a resource leak.

win 7 64 or 32?

What does your conf file look like?

mrlt can u shed some light on the 0 blocks found Huh

?

Can u shed some light on the speed in PPS vs your M rating Huh

easy, multiply PPS with 3600 to get primes per hour = the M rating of the miner.

So a i7 gets around 800-1000pps

AM i reading this right or does the M denote millions ??

IF M denotes millions then it is still ~ 1100 pps which is about a on par per card as an i7 (why has no one found a block ??)

IF it does not and its 5 pps then this GPU miner is an abortion in a bucket Sad

PPS is not whats is counted for.... 7-8-9 chains are needed per hour

I had ~110M (with seiva procentage of 24) with cpu+2x 7950 and that resulted in just few 7-chains and one 8-chains per hour, and that is bad

My i5 is doing ~2600pps thats like 10M/h (solo hp10)

Is the consensus that the gpu miner is worse than hp10?

WOW.. can you share what configuration you are using?
Seems like we are missing the secret sauce here.

Thanks

you can not compare, GPU miner is like in rude alpha state
HP10 is like miles more optimized, + prime coin is hard nut to crack even for a CPU coding

I used sieva procentage 23
use_gpu_fermat_test false
CPU 6 treads (i have i5 but this helped) and fermat test is done on CPU

+ 2x 7950

I used sieva procentage 23
use_gpu_fermat_test false ---any idea on how to run the fermat test on cpu? It gave me fermat assert error and it crashed

Thanks for sharing, still the same appcrash we are experiencing regarding integer overflow.

Thanks for the info i was getting ~ 20m from a 5 card rig Sad

Also long story short has ANYONE found a block ....I am starting to feel that this has been a MASSIVE waste of time !!!!

Considering mrlt walked away with $10,000 is a joke !!!

Oh well that was a nice way to totally screw you reputation ..ANOTHER YIFU !!!

I'm not sure you understand what "beta" or "donation" means.

Realsolid and mtrlt are old pals, I am really shocked anyone is surprised at their method of operation.

and what does that mean?

You have any evidence to back up such claims?

Ask him, he doesnt hide it, its all over the forums too. Try google. Its not like a secret or anything.

This software is a joke. HP10 outperforms it.

This is my conversation with mtrlt on #eligius-prime:

<TwoKoolFourSkewl> mtrlt, no offense, but your program is terrible
<mtrlt> it's a beta, what did you expect?
<TwoKoolFourSkewl> not to mention, that others are giving it away for free
<mtrlt> it has only been tested on my own hardware
<TwoKoolFourSkewl> I want my money back
<mtrlt> you want a donation back?
<TwoKoolFourSkewl> yes
<mtrlt> want all you want

and

<TwoKoolFourSkewl> I also didn't expect others to give it away immediately
<mtrlt> and I knew it was going to happen instantly
<TwoKoolFourSkewl> Yet you still collected money for it?
<mtrlt> it was _the reason_ I wanted donations
<mtrlt> you can't get money after the fact
<mtrlt> i've got some business sense
<TwoKoolFourSkewl> that's not being a businessman that's being a scam artist

We all should have paid mikaelh for hp10 instead.

Hopefully he continues to improve and refine the gpu miner. Until then, this will remain a cpu only coin it seems

Yeah, I bet. He needs to refund ALL the money that he collected for this garbage.

Yeah I bet he'll give up his daytime job and start working on this piece of shit GPU miner lol

You seriously don't understand what a beta is, do you?
