LTC GPU Miner Source Code Reward Thread

[moocow1452]

CUDA version works okay, but now it cannot connect to server, even on a local host. Any ideas?

Compiling beta 3 with nVidia card again, still doesn't work.  I get:

Code:

List of platforms:
	0	NVIDIA CUDA
Using platform number 0

Using all devices
	0	GeForce GTX 570
Compiling kernel... this could take up to 2 minutes.

...same as before.  The program hangs here and then just leaks memory like crazy (~5MB/s).

[moocow1452]

You got to let it hang for a lot longer then two minutes, at least on my card. Try the 296.10/17 driver?

I'm on unix, I'll let it hang until it takes up 16GB of memory but it did that yesterday and nothing happened.

A CUDA native code miner like bitcoinminercuda.cu would be nice. :/  Hopefully mrlrt can fix this.

Managed to launch kernel on nvidia,but it gets only hardware stales + max 11khps (G80 Gpu)

[moocow1452]

Could you boot into Windows, compile a binary for that card, boot back into your Unix distro(?), then let it go on that end?

Bitcoin miner does work, just not stably with VLC in the background.   Still cannot connect to servers with Litecoin.

Tried that, same difference.  This is with both GTX 460s and 570s.

Okay, updated to the beta drivers and it compiles now.

I get about 55kh/s with a GTX460 and 120 kh/s with a GTX570.

Kepler is coming out soon, which is supposed to have about 3 times the amount of stream processors.  This should put Kepler GPUs somewhere competitive with AMD ones.

Nice work. Keep it coming.

[moocow1452]

Any idea on why it times out to server when I try to pool mine?

Solo mining isn't working out of the box either, but I'm expecting that's me screwing something up.

What was your parameters for kernel?

  Yay!! It works! 

208 kH/s on a 7950 with aggression 12. With aggression more than 12 the stales shoot up. Power consumption increases by 60 Watts when the mining starts so that's not bad at all. Well done mtrlt!

Okay, lets make this official. How can I get reaperv13 beta3 to solo mine with the Windows Client 5.0.9  (litecoin-qt), or mine period, since it times out on every pool I put in. Whoever helps gets a cut of my first block or share.

What's your hardware and what error message do you get?

[moocow1452]

When solo mining, I get a "cannot connect to server" error, probably because I don't have a localhost server set up for mining. Poolside, I get a cannot connect to server error, but this time it's specifically a Error 28 timeout, which means that networking is pissy. Probably something to do with me having the Windows 8 Preview running,  but since the CUDA fix was specificly released for it yesterday, I dunno...

Alienware m11x OG, nvidia gt 335m, and an Intel Core 2 Duo 1.3 overclocked to 1.7. I can get you an entire GPU caps dump here.

*facepalm*

It now works. 6kh/s give or take.

What was your parameters for kernel?

default, i didn't play with it all.
