[ANN] cudapts - GPU mining for Protoshares (PTS)

The era of CUDACoins has begun.

Lets power on NVIDIA.

Brilliant, thanks!

What possibility do you see in coins with PoW algorithms that run better in CUDA ?

I think archit is saying that when you run the app, it clearly states it is based on dga source.  In particular:

Fair enough then. I don't run things without any available source.

Edit: BTW, I should mention, I just set this up on another machine and the latest build from git is giving me 1250 c/m on a 780. With the build I was using previously I got around 1650.

I tried it on Linux, and it fails to malloc on this line

  error = cudaMalloc((void **)&dev_countbits, sizeof(uint32_t)*NUM_COUNTBITS_WORDS);

My card is a compute 2.1 GTX 460 with only 768MB ram and currently running two screens. I have changed arch to sm_21

FYI "Device has 647233536 free of 804454400 total bytes of memory"

Suggestions?

Was anyone able to get this compiled in Windows? Tried in mingw but no success. Not sure if it can even be compiled in mingw.

Hi, all - as discussed in a prior thread, I've open sourced my code for mining ProtoShares (PTS) on Nvidia GPUs.

The code is still a little rough around the edges but is functional and decently fast - and, at least until the difficulty catches up, a very good mining-per-watt option.

Tested on MacOS and Linux and known to run on GT 650m, GTX 690, Tesla K20c, and GTX 650Ti.

The code is based on ptsminer and is tied to beeeeer right now, but should be straightforward to extend.

No binaries yet, and building it requires some experience with getting CUDA running on your system.  This is still advanced-intermediate terrain, but should get better as the kinks get worked out.

Happy mining!

Is GPU mining on AMD cards available?

[NaN_PTS]

Yes, it is available. I've written a first version of a miner for AMD gpus, which seems to be much faster than other miners (>2100 c/m @ R290@1025mhz). but i provide at the moment only linux binaries: https://www.dropbox.com/s/s7jlsyqkowwswaa/clpts.tar.gz

is it or will it be out for the community to use
