New version is out The code went through massive refactoring (if everything is OK, nobody will notice ), no kernel updates, statically linked linux x64 binary added, new command line switch --debug for troubleshooting.
|
Of course I gave you bad advice. Good one is way out of your price range.

Or he could just stop being greedy and release a modified version of cgminer like YaCoin does so you can compile it yourself.
Guess what will happen if I release all the code under BSD/MIT license? The end of free miners era, that's what - every kernel author will wrap their cl code into my monetization framework. Now this scenarion is prevented by GPL, it protects cgminer and reaper from such hijacking. Regarding Quark mining kernel - it eventually be released, but give me some time to roll out new miner for another coin So my GPU's are mining at 5.2 Mh/s. How often should I find a block at that rate on average?
Let's see, Quark difficulty is 128, one 1-diff share gets 2^24 hashes, so on average it should take 128*16777216/5200000 = 413 seconds to find a block. any news on the fixed miner version for ATI 5970?
Run new version with --debug, it will produce a lot of debugging garbage messages, I hope there will be some hints to solve this problem.

Another usage update for shits n giggles:
I have been using Version2 (not the latest update) for a while now and it seems to run as long as I want without issues on system#1 (Windows7 64 4x MSI 7950s total 5.9Mhash/s) and system #2 (Windows7 64 2x PowerColour 7970 + 1x PowerColour 6970 Total 4.7MHash/s) but tends to freeze up within 30minutes on system #3 (Windows8 64 1x XFX 7970 1.7MHash/s). Not sure why it isn't happy on system#3.

Miner seems to be gpu-clock limited atm. I've been hitting 1.4Mh/s with a 7950 set at 1000/1250. Intensity of 100 (or thereabouts).

Seems the same error as with 5970, a crash inside clBuildProgram().

Not with current Quark price, it's too low How much QRK would it take you to open source this bad boy ?

How much QRK would it take to pass the software to good QA lab? And I'm getting good bug reports for free Regarding Quark mining kernel - it eventually be released, but give me some time to roll out new miner for another coin

After my last post I am now tending to get eventual freezes on any system with a 7970 in it anywhere from 30 minutes to 8 hours after start. The 7950s run for days with no issues.
One thing I like about Smelter is that is is obvously much less stressing on teh video cards than running Scrypt miners. They stay 50-60oC with no additional fans blowing on them. For me this is great as it is quiter and cooler and my wife doesn't freak out having them running overnight. So I can scrypt in the day and smelt at night...

Scrypt and smelt! Can you help me out with settings for 7970s? I couldn't get it to run, do I need any extra dependencies or libraries for win 8?

I have not had to do anything extra to get it running on the 7970s but as I mentioned it does seem prone to freezing after some time on any of my systems that have 1 or more 7970s on them. The only optional flag commands I use are -g 2.
I don't know if it is the XFX vs PowerColour or Windows8 vs Windows7 but the system I have the most trouble with is Windows8 with a single XFX 7970. Smelter freezes a lot on it but it always starts up fine. If I start it running before going to work this system will have always frozen at some point before getting back home. The Windows7 PowerColour system can usually go 8hrs+ but the few times I have tried to let it run 24hrs/day it will freeze at some point.
What brand of 7970 do you have out of interest?
