[ANN] ccminer 2.3 - opensource - GPL (tpruvot)

I'm having an issue here with the error:

Code:

Cuda error in func 'skein512_cpu_setBlock_80' at line 957 : invalid device symbol.

Strangely enough, I'm running a 660ti (Compute 3.0) and have ccminer compiling/running x11 just fine with the same setup. Although I don't think it's quite the latest version(Edit: It's actually quite old, but still uses cuda 6.5), it works with nvidia-331 and nvidia-346. All I have to do is export the cuda lib64 path before running. Here are the juicy infos:

Code:

ccminer v1.6.3-git

It doesn't matter if I use 331 or 346 to compile/run (either or both). It doesn't matter if I set CUDA_paths or the LD_LIB paths to either the 'cuda-6.5' or 'cuda' directories because they point to the same data.

Any ideas?   Thanks in advance.

That usually means the binaries are not compatible with your card's compute version. Probably 3.5 is required for the binaries. Not 100% sure though.

Lol, can't believe I missed that in the search But I did that and the build resulted with this:

...[lots more sm_32 errors]

Code:

ptxas /tmp/tmpxft_00001194_00000000-5_cuda_neoscrypt.ptx, line 10135; error   : Instruction 'shf.r' requires .target sm_32 or higher
ptxas fatal   : Ptx assembly aborted due to errors
make[2]: *** [neoscrypt/cuda_neoscrypt.o] Error 255

It seems to compile fine other than a few algos. I tried a few things until I got the compile to work with changing the nvcc arch command to

Code:

nvcc_ARCH = -gencode=arch=compute_32,code=\"sm_32,compute_32\"

Which compiles, but still throws the same error on runtime, obviously because my arch is compute_30. Same thing happens if I specify compute_35/sm_35. So I tried a few other things, like leaving the rest of the Makefile.am alone, and only changing the arch target for skein:

Code:

skein2.o: skein2.cu
        $(NVCC) -I. @CUDA_INCLUDES@ @CUDA_CFLAGS@ -gencode=arch=compute_30,code=\"sm_30,compute_30\" --maxrregcount=64 -o $@ -c $<

Same thing. Compile runs without a hitch, but the crash still happens with skein512_cpu_setBlock_80. Any other ideas?  

[Epsylon3]

hmm right, you need to checkout a previous tagged version, 1.6.3 is still under dev... for this reason (neoscrypt is not compatible with SM 3.0)

Aha, well now I don't feel so confused, haha. Surely I can get it working now! Thanks for the help and good work on the project

Would you consider adding support for Cryptonote? TSIV hasn't updated his miner in ages and Monero is still very lucrative.

[miningpoolhub]

We are running http://miningpoolhub.com

As we provide auto switching between multi algo like this batch file.



:start

ccminer-30-35-50-52.exe -r 0 -a x11 -o stratum+tcp://hub.miningpoolhub.com:12007 -u coincoin.ccminer -p x

sleep 3000
timeout 3
goto start


ccminer crashes when connection is refused. It works time to time but crashes time to time.
Actually https://github.com/cbuchner1/ccminer doesn't crashes
but https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer crashes.

Our server send authorize failure message and disconnect when multi algo switching need to work.
Please fix this bug.


'coincoin' is our test username. You can test it right away without setting hub or anything on our site.

From a fresh git clone I'm getting a compiling error (Ubuntu 14.04: compiled before, and can compile other current branches).  I'm not sure if it is from my wonky machine but:

Code:

nvcc -I. -I/usr/local/cuda/include  -gencode=arch=compute_20,code=\"sm_21,compute_20\" -o scrypt/salsa_kernel.o -c scrypt/salsa_kernel.cu
nvcc -I. -I/usr/local/cuda/include  -gencode=arch=compute_20,code=\"sm_20,compute_20\" -o scrypt/test_kernel.o -c scrypt/test_kernel.cu
In file included from scrypt/salsa_kernel.h:10:0,
                 from scrypt/salsa_kernel.cu:13:
./miner.h:14:21: fatal error: jansson.h: No such file or directory
 #include <jansson.h>
                     ^
compilation terminated.
make[2]: *** [scrypt/salsa_kernel.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

If I updated the Makefile.am with:

line 130:
-    $(NVCC) -I. @CUDA_INCLUDES@ @CUDA_CFLAGS@ -gencode=arch=compute_20,code=\"sm_21,compute_20\" -o $@ -c $<
+      $(NVCC) -gencode=arch=compute_20,code=\"sm_21,compute_20\" @CUDA_INCLUDES@ -I. @CUDA_CFLAGS@ $(JANSSON_INCLUDES) -o $@ -c $<

It compiled, up to the next part of the Makefile.am "scrypt/test_kernel.o: scrypt/test_kernel.cu", which failed, but when edited similarily, along with the next three kernels, everything compiled.  Again, not sure if it is just my wonky machine but wanted to mention it.

indeed thanks... dont had the problem here but seems logic.

i guess you have an old version of jansson... there is the 2.6 in compat folder

compat/jansson/jansson.h:151:#define json_array_foreach(array, index, value) \


edit: i build with the 2.5 on my ubuntu 14.04.2 machine :
libjansson-dev:amd64                                  2.5-2

edit2: my debian 7 machine also build fine with the 2.3.1-2

[antimony121]

1.6.4 compiled fine with my machine, ubuntu 15.04 x64

just wondering if the password are parsed in a different way between 1.6.3 and 1.6.4? I am mining with nicehash with the option (multialgo weightings)

Code:

--pass="f0=0;f2=0;f3=2.7;f4=1.9;f5=99;f6=1.8;f7=7.9;f8=0;f9=0.45;f10=0;f11=4.3;f12=3.9"

under ccminer 1.6.3 i get assigned quark with their multialgo, but i get assigned lyre2re under ccminer 1.6.4

the pool option doesn't respect the "algo" parameter set inside the pool, guess it haven't been implemented yet?

[Epsylon3]

its limited to 64 characters indeed, i was expecting this problem... will increase it to 128 in the next version

[zanfr]

So I am trying to do some multialgo switching on nicehash, here is my test config file:

But, after attempting to connect to x11.eu.nicehash.com et predictably getting dropped, it attempts to mine x11 whilst connected to quark.eu.nicehash.com...

Seems it only cares about the first "algo" it finds...

Any ideas?

Code:

{
"pools" : [
     {
		  "name": "nicehash x11",
		  "algo" : "x11",
          "url" : "stratum+tcp://x11.eu.nicehash.com:4336",
          "user" : "1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
          "pass" : "f0=0;f2=0;f3=3;f12=4",
		  "intensity" : 16
     },
     {
		  "name": "nicehash quark",
		  "algo" : "quark",
          "url" : "stratum+tcp://quark.eu.nicehash.com:4345",
          "user" : "1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
          "pass" : "f0=0;f2=0;f3=3;f12=4",
          "intensity" : 18.1
     }
	],
	"api-remote": false
}

[Epsylon3]

Multi pool doesnt means algo switching...
Ccminer is not ready for that yet..

Require changes in all the algos to free the gpu. Hmm in fact maybe not with cudaDeviceReset()

[antimony121]

just compiled the latest git, password is working now, but it doesn't seems to parse the -r (--retries) parameter properly, i set -r 0 (or --retries=0) and it just get ignore with the default value (retry indefinitely)

Code:

if i put in two pools it just loops the two pools indefinitely, regardless of the "retries" : "0" option

[Epsylon3]

i fixed the first case... for the second one... hmm need some more work/brain storm

[IMweasel]

Love your work!
But i've tried to solo UTC and nothing happens with CCminer. Good old Cudaminer does the job just fine. Though i'd rather use CC.
Tried 1.62,1.63,1.64, all the same.

Using the -D flag i immediately see an error...can you fix it? Thanks in advance!
