SM 3.0 is not SM 3.5 ! Are you sure about your compilation options there bud ?

after the Makefile.am edit, you need to do a proper build, the fastest way is to use ./build.sh

please give me the output of ccminer -n

GPU #0: SM 3.0 GeForce GT 640

The 640 GDDR5 is supposed to be 3.5, but apparently this one isn't. I presume you'll
try compiling for 3.0.

[Epsylon3]

no, only a few 7xx cards are 3.5

the wiki seems to be wrong : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA#Supported_GPUs

edit: indeed there seems to be one : https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus but that look like an error to me, they say the GDDR3 is 2.1

[ZeroFossilFuel]

I've always gone with what was stated in the wiki. I'm pretty sure the same info is stated on the nVidia web site as well. I will gladly try compiling for 3.0 and see if it works. Probably not till tomorrow though. Will report back my results. thanks all for chipping in to help.

Else, i can confirm the GT720 DDR5 is SM 3.5

I'm about to release the 1.7, this capture show some of the new possible features :

Code:

[2015-11-03 10:46:56] network diff too high, waiting...
[2015-11-03 10:46:56] Switch to stratum pool 1: Wood pool

Great work tpruvot! :-)
What events can trigger a pool/algo switch?

[Epsylon3]

this sample show 2 of them, the max-xxxx and the time limit, there is also the failover (pool down)

I will maybe add some more explicit flags for that, like "pool-rotate-on-wait"

But these new features also make new problems to handle, like the intensity. I will maybe create a special config file for that (algo/card default throughput)

[pallas]

time-limit != max-time ?

[Epsylon3]

max-time doesn't exist... i wanted something explicit about duration (its also used in benchmark to do short tests)

all max- flags are related to conditional mining (wait), time-limit is more... terminate

[chrysophylax]

this really is great work epsylon3 ...

a rotational pool switch has been missing from ccminer for a LONG time ...

hey epsylon3 your latest git code performs bad with cuda 2.1 qubit's speed is down too much penta too.

[Epsylon3]

hey epsylon3 your latest git code performs bad with cuda 2.1 qubit's speed is down too much penta too.

Is that a joke ? Qubit was not working before on 2.1

no in this git http://cryptomining-blog.com/6172-updated-ccminer-1-7-dev-fork-by-tpruvot-from-git-for-windows/ qubit works good
in this git http://cryptomining-blog.com/6205-updated-ccminer-1-7-dev-fork-by-tpruvot-from-git-for-windows-2/ qubit works bad,

[Epsylon3]

Sigh.. He should stop building binaries 2 days before my releases...

Will double check / delay the release a bit more... On which card ?

I added sm 2.1 support only a few days ago : https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/commits/windows/x11/cuda_x11_simd512_sm2.cuh

better a small delay with a solid release epsylon3 ...

you are doing one hell of a job ...

Awesome release Epsy! I'm out for a few more days and can't reliably reach my rig for the time being, but can't wait to test this out.
The pool (& algo) switching will be super handy, great work indeed!

same ...

when i get into the office tomorrow - ill certainly be testing ...

and if it works - will be fully testing on epsylons donation link on all the algos i can ...

Released the 1.7 today with quark and lyra2v2 SM2.1 Compatibily

Ready for the winter with that...

[pallas]

Thanks very much Sir!
