Thanks for the info, didnt expect one from you - just wondering, will it be faster as everything else or this one finally better with cuda?
A 680 GTX drawing 115W?
Besides that, very nice - now we need openCL

Power draw is very much reduced when you run memory intensive stuff that is not at all compute bound. For example my script-jane (Yacoin) implementation in CUDA makes my mining rig run at 400 Watts, whereas mining scrypt (Litecoin) will make it run at 850 Watts. Yet the mining returns are bigger with jane, so I am not complaining
nVidia doesn't play nice with OpenCL (nVidia's support is outdated and half-assed. CUDA will in most cases get you better performance over an equivalent OpenCL implementation). So don't expect an OpenCL port from someone who mainly owns nVidia gear....

Compiling on Linux / OSX wouldn't be a problem for me but my only nVidia is on Windows right now... would definitely be interested in a Windows binary.

Heard. I'm slowly trickling in some compilation fixes that should let things work on Windows under Cygwin. Just committed another - but I'm pretty sure there are remaining bugs. If anyone wants to grab the latest version from git and try, LMK.
(For those who tried before by manually compiling gpuhash.cu and got an error about "restrict", that bug should be fixed. I hope.)

I'm interested in complying it into a workable binary, but I don't have the experience. I'm willing to learn if you can be directed to proper sites and/or books that can help me. I learn pretty fast and be come efficient once I learn a skill.
Weird that you haven't blogged about this yet

grin. I'm going to, of course.
I kind of like the two-bit counting filter I built for the GPU scanner. It's far from optimal, but I've got one more clever idea to optimize it more, and then I'll blog about it.

Reserving some space for updates:
- Restructured the code and made it easier to run from the command line this morning. Now just:
./cudapts
should work for most single-GPU systems.
- Confirmed to work on a GTX 570 by changing makefile.unix, looking for 'arch' and changing it to sm_20

how many cpm whit this miner/GPU???

It's currently similar to a fast CPU but at lower power draw. My internal version is a little faster. The last time I tried to put together a set of numbers, I got this:
Dual GTX 690s: 2400 c/m at 115W at 10% CPU. (600 c/s per GPU core, 2 per card, 2 cards in the box)
650Ti: 330-340 c/m at 1% CPU.
Macbook Pro with GT 650M: 200 c/m.
Tesla K20c: ~800c/m.
Someone reported 500-600 on an older GTX 570.
(UPDATE: I wrote c/s in a brain-dead moment. Meant c/m, of course.)

Hi, all - as discussed in a prior thread, I've open sourced my code for mining ProtoShares (PTS) on Nvidia GPUs.
The code is still a little rough around the edges but is functional and decently fast - and, at least until the difficulty catches up, a very good mining-per-watt option.
https://github.com/dave-andersen/cudapts
Tested on MacOS and Linux and known to run on GT 650m, GTX 690, Tesla K20c, and GTX 650Ti.
The code is based on ptsminer and is tied to beeeeer right now, but should be straightforward to extend.
No binaries yet, and building it requires some experience with getting CUDA running on your system. This is still advanced-intermediate terrain, but should get better as the kinks get worked out.
Happy mining!
