Killer hangover is cured, so I added Killer Groestl in the quad version. This cudaminer revision is
source code only and called V1.1

the following algos should now mine faster
-quark
-anime
-x11
-jackpot
-groestl
-myr-gr

Tomorrow I will try to get the X13 algo from the forked version back into my code and call it V1.2,
including a binary release.

Would you be so kind to test this V1.1 release out and report the speed-ups you're getting?
I've only tried Windows compilation - will the Linux version still build fine?

What other patches would you guys like to have included in V1.2 or V1.3?

Ooh, nice! Busy compiling it

Seems like you've already got rid of the MAXWELL_OR_FERMI constant, superb Tongue

So ccminer35 and ccminer50 are the same now? Guess it will be ccminer35-50.exe from now on, no?

Well, the diamond-groestl (dmd-gr) one is simple, you could add it for V1.1/1.2: https://github.com/KBomba/ccminer-KBomba/commit/d4541dbd77aa8a9585287234cf11f72aa1ace854

Guys and Girls , which speed did you reach on x13 with 750TI ?

04 x 750Ti on CCMiner50@X13 algo:

subir fotos a internet

Considering the fact i'm running 7 threads of my i7 [email protected] to mine QRK at the same time of GPU@X13, so the results should be a little better for X13 (1750-1800KH/s per card).

Also getting 850-900KH/s @ X13 on a Fermi GF 670M on my Asus ROG notebook.

Is X13coin scam? Anyone believes in this coin specifically?Better go to SnakeXcoin or MammothCoin?

tks

How can I mine same time on CPU and GPUs?

I'd suggest you run the CPU mining with -t 3, to use just 3 cores, leaving one free for GPU miner duties (relevant if that CPU coin miner is already optimized for AES-NI). In any case, you can play with the number of threads for CPU mining all the way up to 7, just not the default (which uses all 8 threads).

I usually go into the task manager details and set the affinity of the GPU miner to be on my 1st core/thread (or the 1st two), and set the affinity of the CPU miner to the other ones, thus isolating one from the other.

(if you're not using windows, please ignore Cool

)

This makes me think that ccminer just has difficulties with cross-threading on the cpu. If work A is on core 0 and work B is on core 1, but you're also CPU-mining on those cores, ccminer will have to pause a bit, and he doesn't like that Tongue

Also, Intel knows how to deal with threads, so this might be why a Celeron is a winner for ccminer.
So yeah, try setting affinity to lock the processes on cores.
Please report back if that did or didn't do it Cheesy

If it did it, it's something I will implement in my ccminer gui. Should you set the affinity per ccminer, like ccminer30 on core0, ccminer50 on core1, etc... or does it matter at all? I see no real difference when I put them in one thread on my system (i5-3470)
But before you ask, I won't do a gui for minerd Tongue

Hi,

I'm trying to mine Darkcoin on GPUs and Quazarcoin on CPU - please help Undecided

I have

CPU i7-4470k
and two GPU cards nVidia 750 Ti

When I run the ccminer50 I get around 3.1MH for GPU both cards, for Darkcoin at pool,

then when I run minerd for Quazarcoin, which is CPU only, it runs ok, but
the mining of ccminer50 (Darkcoin, GPUs) drop down to very low numbers Sad

Is it because ccminer still uses CPU? On performance monitor the CPU usage is not bigger than 15% - ?

Also, I tried to run minerd (Quazar, CPU only) with only 2 logical threads, it does not help at all.

How can I mine same time on CPU and GPUs?

Yep, for some unknown reason (probably pretty low-level) ccminer doesn't like other minerds or other cpu intensive processes, even with low cpu usages.
Some people with very low-end AMD cpu's also reported problems, but I have yet to find a recent Celeron that can't handle ccminer Tongue

Exactly, how do you set the bat to exclude the unspecified gpu? I'm trying to optimize my asus gtx 750 and evga acx 780 ti.
Or can you just run both and specify different workers?

should be easy, they don't use the same ccminer for the best performance..

I used a different username in the bat per ccminer 35 & 50. Noticed the pool hashrate went down. Did i miss something? Also, the number of workers was still one.

I got about 3500 khash/sec running on two cards, so about 1750 khash/sec per card.

Is there a way to best run two different GPUs like maxwell and kepler using ccminer?

i have 660ti and 750ti.
you can compile ccminer for both of this arch in one and runing one instance of ccminer.

two bat files, one for the 780ti with "-d 780ti"
the other for the 750ti with "-d 750ti"

run 2 different instances of ccminer (ccminer35 and ccminer50), this is what I do for my 780ti and my 750ti

Asking here since I see most of you expert miners are on

Need some help. On one of my computers that has a Jackpot Coin wallet is stuck at 53,896 blocks remaining in the Syncronizing with network area. I think its still staking since I'm still getting micro POS JPC coins with the current time. I'm using the config file from their front page. My other JPC wallet on another computer is using the same settings and running on the same network. My other two coin wallets that I have running don't have this syncronizing problem.

Any help would be appreciated!

make sure it is the latest version of the wallet and eventually delete blockchain and peers.dat file and reload the blockchain

Make sure you keep a copy of all your files someplace else before you start deleting anything. Better safe than sorry.

besides peers.dat? what other files do you delete? and how do you reload the blockchain?

blk001.dat and the directories and you reload the blockchain by launching the wallet

thanks
