This seems to be normal for an optimized miner.
The miner does not stop mining the sieve until the original one is verified by a slow mpz_nextprime() call. When your miner is significantly faster than the PoW function you tend to find lots of shares before the PoW can stop the sieve from mining.

@bsunau7 Thanks for the info and I will implement a small sieve for validation and use a single exponentiation test at each end point; it should be at least 100x faster and less than 1/(2 128) probability of it being a larger gap.

@bsunau7
Thanks for the info and I will implement a small sieve for validation and use a single exponentiation test at each end point; it should be at least 100x faster and less than 1/(2128) probability of it being a larger gap.
There was talk on GMP mailing lists about speeding up gmp_nextprime in a very similar manner, sieve the start/end gap before running expensive MR tests. As the gap has been pre-sieved you might just be able to MR test the non-composite in the mining sieve and get the same result. I personally didn't bother with the PoW validation code as for larger gaps it just isn't called enough to matter. Also you can tweak the pprocessor->process() to terminate the sieve early which will cure the stales and get you to the next "block" a few seconds faster at the risk of having a slightly wrong difficulty (in effect a non issue). PS. Just pushed testnet to >8 might slow down your stale shares some (I am only getting only 75-90% stale at this difficulty). Regards, -- bsunau7

hi guys, can you please post a sample gapcoin.conf please?
also, has anyone with a radeon 270x tried the gpu miner? if yes, care to share your results?

ok got passed OpenCL compiler error, now this
( replaced
// uint4 q[2] = {0, 0}; uint4 q[2] = {0, 0, 0, 0}; )
yep that's experimental ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) initializing uint4 as uint2 is indeed experimental (however it isn't obvious that opencl and cuda use the same definition for these structures...) so NVIDIA users are shut out from this software for the time being ? ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

Good job on the gpuminer Tested GPU miner 7950s, worked great tried old ubuntu box with a 6870 and: [2014-11-07 20:14:01] pps: -2147483648 / -2147483648 10g/h -2147483648 / -21474 83648 15g/h -2147483648 / -2147483648 [2014-11-07 20:14:11] pps: 0 / 0 10g/h 0 / 0 15g/h 0 / 0
Seemed to always be 0 and never submit share, issue with legacy gpu? Thanks will test some other cards this weekend if able.

How many pps? ~150k-200k each, without OC , Windows, I would imagine that can be tweaked higher with current miners and improvements, also on a relative slow CPU - 8150 Miner seems CPU heavy Didn't try to tweak it much.

Until stratum works for windows miners we have opened another longpoll port on 4205 for gpu miners.
It has a higher difficulty for better pps and less stales.

I'll admit that I am not always the brightest and this has been asked a ton.
I created 2 different folders one 280x (device 0) and one 270x (device 1). I have in 280x folder --use-gpu 0. I have in 270x folder --use-gpu 1.
The 280x runs fine. I start the bat in 270x (gpu 1) and the bat runs gpu 0, the 280x.
Can someone enlighten me please.

Some miners stop work after 5 minutes on 4205 port, on 4200 this is not observed.

The memory consumption is so high, because a very lage sieve is used, with many primes, and also a queue is used to keep the cpu busy while the gpu is processing the fermat tests. You can alter a few parameters to reduce the memory load: -s --sieve-size the prime sieve size
-w --work-items gpu work items (default 2048)
-a --max-primes maximum sieve primes (for use with gpu)
-z --queue-size the gpu waiting queue size (memory intensive)
The Sieve dynamically adjusts the sieve primes, so that it opimaly generaets a new set of prime candidates while the gpu is testing a previous set. The queue must have a minimum size of 2.

Hi Guys, Here is a little fix which increased my block count (got your attention)? Added TCP keep alives with a sub 5 minute period to the wallet. Three lines of code in net.cpp and netbase.cpp and a tweak of the Linux kernel. net.cpp diff: --- net.cpp_orig 2014-11-07 19:38:26.941369345 +0100 +++ net.cpp 2014-11-07 19:42:11.077371850 +0100 @@ -1594,6 +1594,7 @@ // Different way of disabling SIGPIPE on BSD setsockopt(hListenSocket, SOL_SOCKET, SO_NOSIGPIPE, (void*)&nOne, sizeof(int)); #endif + setsockopt(hListenSocket, SOL_SOCKET, SO_KEEPALIVE, (void*)&nOne, sizeof(int));

Add into /etc/sysctl.conf net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time = 240 net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_intvl = 15 net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_probes = 9 Then "sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf" to make it take effect. I went from spending half my time in 45 minute limbo land mining dead blocks due to the wallet hanging to no issues in the last 24 hours (no wasted mining). Just quick and dirty hack (this is code for "It could have been done in a nicer way") which seems to have sorted out a big source pain for my little 4-core mining rig. Oh, this might also address stratum mining issues this coin seems to have. Monotonic coins don't go 15+ minutes without a transactions (i.e network traffic) so they would not see this issue.
