CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded GPU kernels.

... for nvidia there is someone which doesn't do any work and ask people to send him the donation instead to the real developer...

I just gave you 5% more quark on the gtx 970 and 5% more lyra2v2 on the gtx 950 and gtx 960.

The 5% lyra2v2 increase have given me 0 BTC in donations and I've spent many hours.

The lyra2v2 optimalizations doesn't work on the 750ti and the gtx 980/980ti cards.


Here are my last commits:

https://github.com/sp-hash/ccminer/commits/windows

The latest changeset are mostly compiler adjustments/tuning to get the cuda 7.5 compiler to perform as fast as cuda 6.5.

Hang in there sp_  http://www.reuters.com/article/us-global-markets-bitcoin-analysis-idUSKBN0U60GM20151223?feedType=RSS&feedName=businessNews

Is the 750Ti still the best bang for the buck?

Is the 750Ti still the best bang for the buck?

YES--

But there is an argument for the newer GTX 9XX cards because the cost for the rig(s) is less.  Fewer motherboards and power supplies are required for the same total hash level.  A 750ti by itself is the best bang for the buck on card price and power cost.

Smaller power supplies are quite a bit cheaper then larger ones as well, which drives down system costs for 750tis.

WINDOWS RELEASE VERSIONS--

If you use release dot 74, as compiled by sp_ , you will get optimal Neoscrypt rates.  Release dot 74 was the last release compiled by sp_ that used CUDA 6.5.

If you use release dot 77+, it is compiled with CUDA 7.5, and Neoscrypt rates are lower.  Other algos have been improved.

In Linux, it is possible to compile a hybrid version if you use both CUDA 6.5 and 7.5, as described by Pallas a few pages back in the thread.  At least, he describes the hybrid method.  No programmer has released a hybrid pre-compiled version.

--scryptr

is it so difficult for you people to have several versions on your computers ? (while Christian Büchner was still working on cudaminer and ccminer I was having something like 4 to 5 concurrent version of it...)  

ALGO-SWITCHING SOFTWARE--

It is convenient to have a single version for algo-switching software.  Not absolutely required, it just is easier for the miner.  I haven't been able to work the bug's out of Skunk's outdated BASH script for algo-switching, he did use different miniing software for different algos.  It would be nice to have a compiled C-language Linux executable that works like NiceHash Miner.  NiceHash miner uses dotNet code, and that is Windows stuff.  I tried to implement dotNet emulation in Linux, it didn't go well. 

--scryptr

what did you try? mono, wine?

WINE--

I tried Wine and .Net 2.0 for 64 bit.  I probably botched the configuration.  Microsoft has released .Net for Linux, it is a preview (experimental) implementation.  NiceHash Miner did not launch, it only requires .Net 2.0.  Further, I don't know if I used Microsoft's .Net, or a 3rd party implementation.  I did not try Mono, though.       --scryptr

DJM34's Neoscrypt kernal is hurting when compiled with cuda 7.5.

I wonder why the kernal is perfoming so shit with Cuda 7.5. Djm34 will say that the compiler is shit, but I say that the code is shit.

try to beat that shitty code, then get back to me   (neoscrypt unpublished version)

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!  --

And Happy Holidays!!! as well.  All my rigs are running smoothly, Thanks!!! to the programmers for the code.

I hope that all is well for everyone.       --scryptr

Also all my rigs are running nicely, thanks to SP_!

How fast is it when compiled with cuda 7.5?

This was the last coin I have mined solo, I only stopped because DEV is gone for good (Mr.Spread)....I simply can't remember the hash in the 980's....but 125% is huge, congrats!
