4 card amd rig

boolbd.exe --start-mining=1K5BH.....rCLe9gxXF --mining-threads=4

boolbd.exe --start-mining=[address] --mining-threads=[n]

n - number of GPUs to use

Doesn't seem to be working though.

When I try 4 threads I get an error about CL_Name and platform index must be between 0 and some huge number.

Tried alter device index also, but still the same.

Only one gpu shown working in gpu-z

Do I need a certain version of driver maybe? I'm on 13.251 Catalyst 13.12

The shares are fake - just a check to make sure the card is working.

Thanks.

OK, what am I doing wrong?

I have a 4 card AMD rig, but can only get one card mining using boolbd to solo.

My json:

"current_extra_message_index": 0,
  "device_index": 3,
  "difficulty": 16777215,
  "donation_decision": true,
  "donation_decision_made": false,
  "donation_descision": true,
  "donation_percent_opencl": "2.0",
  "kernel": "wild_keccak.cl",
  "kernel_type": 0,
  "platform_index": 0,
  "thread_delay": 100,
  "work_size": 262144

my start.bat:

boolbd.exe --start-mining=1K5BH.....rCLe9gxXF --mining-threads=1

Tried all sorts of combos but only ever get one card running.

Also, if I am soloing, why is it telling me I'm getting shares?

I have changed the cong,amd.cl is used. I got speed more fasted than old ,from 3.29 to 3.3 .

I set donate to 2%.I hope you release new version to get more fast speed !

Thank you!

The donation goes to mbk, but that's all right, as I probably would have been too lazy to write all the host code to run the OpenCL Tongue

How can I do? thank you.

What OS?
What mining program?
Where did you get the mining program?
What GPU?
What command are you using to run it?

Okay, listen up!

Releasing my CUDA miner, with stratum support. I also cleaned up a LOT of the awful cpuminer code - now only supports stratum and Wild Keccak.

is there a way for me to get it working on windows? i'll test it with my 560 ti when i can.

whenever i get it working for a pool i'll mine to your address for a good bit

yepp, I just used your example and changed the address. I'll install CUDA 6 and try again.

Also, this does a little bit better on AMD cards. Well, the 7950 I tested on, at least.

It's not polished, so READ THE GITHUB README. I also stripped out most of the garbage that came with cpuminer.

Best launch config I've found for 750Ti is 60x256.

Oh, and consider the -t option mandatory for now - set it to the number of GPUs you wish to mine on.

Have fun: https://github.com/wolf9466/bbr-cudaminer

Example launch (using sheepman's pool):

Code:

./cudaminerd -o stratum+tcp://38.93.234.101:40000 -u 1JYa1g52PN5aAq9gjTiDkwWc2Zu56ZkTUV49De8EuSFd9bQcSoRaGvdcJ3dut3XULBbAWqKassGp4Yr6PYodQpbsUKdGUtq -p x -k http://38.93.234.101/scratchpad.bin -t 1 -l60x256

I get ~350khash per 750Ti (5 card rig). I could not compile using maxwell (some error about compute_50), but using compute_35 it worked. does it need a newer CUDA toolkit than 5.5?

Thanks for releasing this!

My own work on the stratum-enabled cpuminer-multi fork stalled when I got CPU/GPU validation errors and later fell sick for a couple of weeks.

Here I go, doing some crazy shit.

See this? https://ottrbutt.com/tmp/bbropenclwolf2.png

It's around 60%+ better on 750Ti.

Now take it before I change my mind: https://ottrbutt.com/tmp/wild_keccak_nv.cl

wow. now I have to wear my fox suite Wink

thanks a lot - I will donate you something for this speed update.
is "@wolf" right for bbr?

Not sure if the alias works yet, I know bbr.farm said they would do it for me, though.

someone can compile this for windows?

You mean ROUND? Or reordering "for" loops? Anyway it's hard to find any logic. The GPU spends 99% in MIX so other changes shouldn't make any difference but they do. In other miner I did some time ago I got boost accidentally switching on debug code... OpenCL compilers are still very far from perfect.

What gives it boost on nvidia? That change in MIX macro? Keccak optimizations couldn't help that much cause all keccak code make just few percent of overall load.

Merged all updates from the main branch. Added binary release too. Update if you use pool miner. Included wolf's nvidia optimized kernel. I cannot measure it's performance on nvidia but it gives about +2% on AMD cards too so it's the default kernel now.
https://github.com/mbkuperman/boolberry-opencl

Yeah, the small percentage bump on AMD is probably from the shortcuts.

Nah, it's what I did to the loop.

Can I be so lazy to ask for complete instruction how to compile this?

You don't. You download the file into the same dir as boolbd, rename it to wild_keccak.cl, and run the OpenCL miner like normal.
