the changes for whirlcoin are just in the whirlcoin.cu? thus i don't re-compile everything
no, I made several change in whirlcoin.cu and cuda_whirlpool512.cu.
Also it use a specific maxregcount, you need to update ccminer.vxproj (which will break everything since it will want to compile keccak etc... ).
Personnally, I would recompile everything to avoid editing everything by hand (and your computer is fast...)

too lazy now for all that lol, is a small improvement anyway, i'll wait further improvements, before changing all my desktop shortcut again, it's really a pain in the ass to do it for every update


that's because you are not well organized  Grin
usually, I just copy new exe from one directory to the one where my shortcut points...
(actually that's what I would do if I had shortcut  Grin)

I have everything driven from a database for my rigs.  I'd go nuts using shortcuts on each machine.

don't like using third party software or whatever, actually shortcuts are great you can run very fast each algo, i just forgot about the path for exe, now with that no problems anymore

Bitcore (BTX) - The Future is Now
are you sure it is the gpu usage and not the power usage ?
If it is gpu usage it shouldn't unless, may-be, if you use a very old version post killer groeslt (and even then I never see anything like that). However the power usage varies quite a lot...

also the mem clock seems low (I am 2740MHz or do I have to divide by two ~1370 ?).
I get ~2700MH/s on X11 (more or less original one) with a core clock of 1350MHz...
no after that all card behave a bit differently from each other...

My only advice, try to use a recent version, there is parameter to adjust...


I got it to 2400kH/s and I am looking at the GPU usage thru GPUz, actually when I am not logged in (when windows turns the monitor off) it stabilizes.
I am looking at the frequencies from GPUz as well, so IDK.... is my mem too low???

I guess I should experiment with freq. but am I using the right miner:
ccminer35-50.exe     and     337.88  WHQL
I got it from IDK where.... wich one is the most optimized miner/kernel for X11
Thanks

check out cudamining.cc   good site

HI,
I am new to cuda mining, thoe I have a little experience with AMD mining.
I am getting around 2350 kH/s with my GTX 750TIs for X11
I am using ccminer
core - 1355
mem - 1524

Is that good?
Can I get more?
GPU usage is constantly twitching between 90% and 100% and I have heard of those cards reaching 3000 kH/s with hard overclock
I don't aim at 3000 but I think I should get more.

new version of ccminer:

* small improvement over whirlcoin (increased the total number of threads): gpu usage is 99% for the gtx780ti (as well as the gtx750ti)
in terms of performance: I was getting before for gtx780ti+gtx750ti = around 19MH/s now I get 20.6MHash/s.

* added keccak256 (maxcoin) to ccminer
It isn't a port of cudaminer as it makes use of the main function of keccak512 instead of the one of cudaminer.

In terms of performance. cudaminer gives over my gtx780ti (OC) 293MHash/s, with this kernel I get around 300MHash/s
(I am not sure if the problem of low share getting registered  by pool is still present or not... I would assume yes).
Please watch the number of rejected shares. This one can be high (it is due to the use of a difficulty multiplier, and some tuning is still needed there)

The changes have been included into https://github.com/djm34/ccminer

It should compile on linux however it is untested.
I don't plan to release binaries.

Running on linux, and I get 230H/s @1350Mhz core/stock memory 750 ti.
But I have a low end CPU (cheap haswell @50$) , that probably the point ?

nope... G3220... but do you use the -l switch (launch-config)? without I get 10-15% less.
which cards do you use?
yep, I test with -l 8x60 on a Gigabyte 750 Ti (1345 core / 1350 mem) : this model GV-N75TWF2OC-2GI

The main GPU is not working at 100%, what can be done?



disable any Windows visualization effects via system properties > advanced > settings > adjust for best performance

I get
Jul 25 21:46:41 minera4 cpuminer[2945]: GPU #0: GeForce GTX 750, 2118 khash/s
Jul 25 21:46:41 minera4 cpuminer[2945]: GPU #1: GeForce GTX 750, 2130 khash/s

on a 750 NON-TI, with a bit of overclocking.
No did not alter bios.

For sgminer, I already modified the kernel to use Uray modification (the kernel is in my github and can used right away with binaries...)
I am pretty sure I already told you so, since you asked me for it  Roll Eyes (or at least I posted the info on the relevant thread... whirlcoin)

So many threads, so many questions, so many posts from other members between and last but not least spoiled by Reddit Wink ... THANK YOU VERY MUCH Smiley

i've added chaincoin to cudamining.cc, was pretty easy  Grin

forked from djm x17, my personal version use accepted and rejected instead of yay and boo, i like them more lol

amph  i tried chain coin that you compiled and it just open then closes instantly. heres my command file.      ccminer.exe -a chain    thats it. do i need any more commands? thanks

EDIT: i have it, I missed the c11   Embarrassed

i like to use short command, but -a chain was more intuitive i agree

edit...added the source for the algo only, just import it to your source the rest is the same , no point in adding it

Tried different pool? Cheesy
Maybe something with initial diff of shares?!

Which one do you recommend?

From time to time I also get a lot's "(Share is above target)" rejects Sad
amd or nvidia ?

Hashharder Huh Mainly AMD Cat 14.6 Beta, but happens sometimes with nvidia-331 too.

@djm34 Are the improvements from uray also possible for ccMiner and SPH-SGMiner? Can't compile his SGMiner.

Regarding ccminer, I don't know whirlpool ccminer and whirlpool sgminer are rather different even if it keeps the sphlib structure..
(whirlpool on ccminer has already some level of optimization. I guess the next step would the same sort of implementation as killer groestl... )
However, there will be some slight improvement today in the next release today)
