Hi there,

just wanted to give a little status update on the GPU-Miner.

My current idea is to divide the sieve into parts of the required gap size,
then apply dcct's strategy to each of those parts,
by start testing prime candidates from the end of the part and skipping those parts which have a prime in it.

One problem is, that you have to store the first found prime (if there is one) from the previous part in the current part,
to efficiently scan the whole sieve.
This and some other related problems lead into very difficult code.

Currently it's produce invalid results most of the time,
but I still think that it will give a reasonable speed increase to be worth the effort.

@j0nn9, please prepare pool NOMP/MPOS with stratum + install instruction.

Hi,

I'm currently still working on the GPU-Miner, got some promising results (2x-3x speed increase),
but it's still pretty buggy, and needs more testing.

I'll do pool software next.

At two and three times higher rate - a good result

Depends...vs which miner?

Well i took the initiative to post about Gapcoin in the first 8 altcoins forums. I hope it wont be regarded as spam. I just want to see more hashrate!

4xGPU running on GPU miner and CPU have 100% load Shocked

W8.1x64 8Gb RAM

Yes, the GPU miner needs lots of CPU power behind it. Right now it's not very efficient to use your GPU's. I have my mining rig CPU mining GAP and my GPU's mining other coins. This way I get paid twice for my efforts Wink

yeah, i back to this scheme too.

Best to mine this with a server board that can have 2 or 4 cpu sockets. Intel Xeon with 12 or 15 core with HT for 24 or 30 threads, would be power efficient ways long term but costly initially for the hardware. The gpu miner needs to offload work more on the gpu some how to make it more efficient. If you compare gpus to the recent i7 with 6 or 8 cores, they beat this immensely and even a 4 core i7 or AMD FX 8 core do better still too...

The network is growing - It is good...

I've noticed the speed drops to the night and the morning starts to grow.

This is probably someone mining at work.
