Open source Boolberry OpenCL miner
https://github.com/mbkuperman/boolberry-opencl.git

Read README.md for details and build instructions.

Windows x64 executables:
https://github.com/mbkuperman/boolberry-opencl/releases/download/v1.0/BoolberryOCL-20140719.zip

2% developer donation (you can change or disable it in the configuration file)

Solo version: boolbd.exe (best performance/reliability)
Pool (JSON RPC) version: simpleminer.exe (please, use solo version if you can!)

Personally, I think it doesn't make any sense to use pools while the block value is about $7. Just give enough time to the solo miner.

Tested on AMD GPUs only!

Expected performance:
6870, R270x - 500-600 khs
6970, R280X - 900-1000 khs

Fixed the Linux build. Tested on Ubuntu 13.10 and AMD SDK. Should work with CUDA too. Pull the update and make it again.

I have problems compiling your miner.
Kubuntu with cuda 5.5 installed.
Any idea?

I used 14.4 and 14.6.

there's error while mining, it says fatal error, and then the hashrate decrease,what's the version of you video card driver for test? i'm using 13.12 for AMD 280X

I saw it. Congratulations, the keccak implementation looks a little like mine - and it definitely doesn't look like a copy/paste a four-year-old could do.
Is this officially mean AWS mining is profitable again?!!?

It's OpenCL. God only knows if it'll even work with Nvidia. Besides, AWS mining has always been profitable... you just need to know some stuff.

It works on NVidia but AWS g2.2 gets only 365 khs on GPU + 200 khs on CPU . It's not enough even for spot Linux instances right now.

Yes, I've done simpleminer version first just to find out all the pools to be unreliable for real mining so I've done boolbd version. Anyway simpleminer works just fine if you find fast and reliable JSON RPC pool.


Oh ok, so this is optimized for solo mining only at the moment then?

You should run boolbd.exe to solo mine. It's exactly the same as with original miner. My version just uses GPUs instead of CPU cores.
Code:
boolbd --start-mining=
--mining-threads=1
(or 2,3 if you have many GPUs).

It should synchronize the blockchain before mining starts so wait if you run boolbd.exe first time. If you loaded the blockchain with original boolbd this miner will use it. Look at the output for lines like:
Code:
hr: 510698, efficiency: 185% (shares 2/2, blocks 0/0)

Code:
 Boolberry daemon OpenCL configuration

OpenCL miner supports ordinary mining parameters:

--start-mining=[address]

--mining-threads=[n], n - number of GPUs to use

Run the daemon once to create miner_conf.json in the data directory.

Keys to tune the miner: "platform_index" - use OpenCL platform (if you have manym, default 0)

"device_index" - use OpenCL devices from (if you have many, default from 0)

"difficulty" - virtual share difficulty for statistics

"donation_percent_opencl" - OpenCL developer donation, default value - 2%

"kernel" - OpenCL kernel file name

"kernel_type" - kernel type: 0 - all-in-one, 1 - multiple step version (wild_keccak-multi.cl)

"thread_delay" - delay in ms between thread startups

"work_size" - OpenCL work size (smaller values make the computer more responsive)

So, it's "--start-mining" instead of "--pool-address" for the miner?

If certain options like kernel_type, work_size, etc aren't put it, will it go to a default setting?

So, there's no stratum for it yet? I'm mining with it, but what shows the stats of the hashrate?

I'd write an implementation of Wild Keccak for GPU, but I do not want to deal with that scratchpad shit.
Probably the common issue.

True, but usually when a GPU miner is made, you get some copy + paste shit from sphlib for the algo. I don't do that.

What can we do to help with the scratchpad related code?

Well, if all the divisions and shit can be done on CPU, we could just pass the scratchpad to the GPU... on second thought, since host to device transfers are slow, that may not be the best idea. It may be unavoidable, though, if the scratchpad needs to be updated with data from the internet - at least the changes will have to be copied to the GPU.
