is it or will it be out for the community to use

Yes, it is available. I've written a first version of a miner for AMD gpus, which seems to be much faster than other miners (>2100 c/m @ R290@1025mhz). but i provide at the moment only linux binaries: https://www.dropbox.com/s/s7jlsyqkowwswaa/clpts.tar.gz

Is GPU mining on AMD cards available?

Was anyone able to get this compiled in Windows? Tried in mingw but no success. Not sure if it can even be compiled in mingw.

I tried it on Linux, and it fails to malloc on this line

  error = cudaMalloc((void **)&dev_countbits, sizeof(uint32_t)*NUM_COUNTBITS_WORDS);

My card is a compute 2.1 GTX 460 with only 768MB ram and currently running two screens. I have changed arch to sm_21

FYI "Device has 647233536 free of 804454400 total bytes of memory"

Suggestions?

Fair enough then. I don't run things without any available source.

Edit: BTW, I should mention, I just set this up on another machine and the latest build from git is giving me 1250 c/m on a 780. With the build I was using previously I got around 1650.

I think archit is saying that when you run the app, it clearly states it is based on dga source.  In particular:

Brilliant, thanks!

What possibility do you see in coins with PoW algorithms that run better in CUDA ?

The era of CUDACoins has begun.

Lets power on NVIDIA.

it is clearly noticeable that your miner is based on dga source.

Run the app and then say

It seems to be the same. Gotta say that's pretty scummy, no credit to the original author and asks for donations 

hi dga

is this guy using your source code? The project name in his screenshot looks just like yours.

Decent-ish update 2014-01-10:  I've committed some new changes to the repository.  Some are cosmetic, but three are important:

  1)  Memory use on the host side is reduced by about 500MB.  This may or may not matter for you.

  2)  Speed is boosted by 10-20% on a lot of platforms.  I have another speed boost patch coming next week once I've made it not horrible, but this one gets a decent chunk of the gains.

  3)  There's now a developer fee that goes to me.  Kinda. 

I'm doing an experiment with this code release in the developer fee:  It's easy to disable.  It's not hidden.  But it's also just a list of addresses that share the dev fee equally.

So here's my proposal:  If you port this software to another platform or release a binary, don't remove my address.  Instead, add yours to the list -- I've tried to make it super easy for you to get your own share.  If this works out, I'll continue to release improvements and try to make it even easier for other developers who improve upon the code, because we'll all have a reason to make software that remains open source and which is user-friendly and high performance.

If you think this is horrible, let me know and let's try to find a way to make it work better.

If you're a user who hates the idea of a dev fee, the source is yours and you can delete the addresses listed there and/or add your own.

I was slightly off on my power measurements - I was giving single card numbers earlier, not double, because I had the monitor on a different line than I thought I did.  Oops.  WIth the newer code, it's using more.  Dev version to be released next week if things goes well uses about 175W per card.  Rats.   (It's also faster.)

I believe Archit has one working (binary only and donations to him, but works on windows! .  But help getting my version to work cleanly on windows would be appreciated - we'll have a higher-quality open source base for everyone.

I have a GTX 780 that I received yesterday

so I'll make a windows binary sometime tonight, after I get around to setting it up (have to swap some power supplies too)

(beh, i'll post the other stuff on marketplace later maybe)

Same here, would love to try this on my 570.  Please let us know when you can!

Not sure.  I'm gong to try an OpenCL one next week if nobody beats me to it.  I have a fairly different algorithmic approach in mind for AMD.  We'll see.
