I can build this to work on linux? Any instructions on how to do this anywhere? Thanks in advance Smiley

I'm working on a new README.md. Almost there. For now, check out he knowledge base on ethpool. It has build instructions for my miner.

I finally got DAG chunking working today. Not that it's really required now that the right AMD environment vars have been found. If there happens to be demand for it anyway, please let me know so I can implement it in a clean way that doesn't hurt the non-chunked version. Because on AMD chunking does negatively affect performance.

Hey Genoil, I have a 5770 I could do some testing on with your "chunked" version.
Did you make a new fork? Or is it in the 107 branch?

thx

AMD 5770 has at most 1GB memory. So it will not work to mine Ethereum, even with the "chunked" version.

Ah - I misunderstood what he meant by "chunked".
There was an effort some time ago to allow 1GB cards to use a "streamed" DAG - at least I can only assume that's how one would do it.
Thanks for the info.
Some 5770's have 2GB of RAM per core, I don't have one of those. I have the std 2 core 1GB per core.

look at Genoil's first post in this thread, FAQ #1

Edit: if you're already using the old drivers, verify it is NOT using WDDM 2.0  
  
if it is on the old WDDM, then just give up and put the cards into a spare Win7 box (is what I would do - some things are not worth the effort fighting with)  
  


Speaking of fighting with something - I've managed to get this far building it on Ubuntu Xenial:

- built the miner only without setting -DBUNDLE to cudaminer  
- tried running cmake again with -DBUNDLE=cudaminer  
  
got this far:

[ 35%] Building NVCC (Device) object libethash-cuda/CMakeFiles/ethash-cuda.dir/ethash-cuda_generated_ethash_cuda_miner_kernel.cu.o
nvcc fatal   : redefinition of argument 'std'

Maybe I should take my own advice and switch it to a Win7 box ?


Ok  - the error ways "mvcc fatal  : redefinition of the argument 'std'
SO, let's change that -

**make your change (removing --std) to libethash-cuda/CMakeFiles/ethash-cuda.dir/ethash-cuda_generated_ethash_cuda_miner_kernel.cu.o.cmake

set(nvcc_flags -m64;--std;c++11;-DETH_JSONRPC;-DETH_READLINE;-DETH_MINIUPNPC;-DETH_ETHASHCL;-DETH_ETHASHCUDA;-DETH_STRATUM;-DETH_CURL;-DETH_FRONTIER;-DETH_TRUE) # list

Delete the "--std" and try your build again.

Thanks, I'm using the 347 drivers and a build compiled with CUDA 6.5 so I think that's what he's talking about, that's why I was confused as it's still not working on Win10 unfortunately.

switch to the custom old WDDM driver

So I tried a version compiled with CUDA 6.5 on Windows 10 with the nvidia 347.52 driver and I'm only getting about 3mh/s on an GTX 760. This same build gets me about 13-14mh/s on Win7.

Is Win10 just totally screwed up?

Still no luck figuring this out...can't get any decent numbers in Win10 even with the older drivers and CUDA 6.5. Anyone have any suggestions?

Here are my speeds with Windows 7 and various AMD GPUs.

Stock Ethminer: 73MHS
Version 1.0.4: 73MHS
Version 1.0.6: 67MHS
Version 1.0.7: 73MHS

I used

--cl-local-work 64 --cl-global-work 12288 -t 5


Maybe someone knows how to tweak the latest version for faster speeds

Ah good to be back at the original speed. Wasn't even aware 1.0.6 being slower Smiley
It strange, I get same hashrate on all versions 1.0.3-1.0.7
Win7, Catalyst 15.12, --cl-local-work 128 --cl-global-work 16384

Hi Genoil,

Thanks for making a great miner!

I have your latest version (that you pushed a few hours ago?) running great on Win8.1 , 980Ti

I'm trying to get it to run on Ubuntu Xenial (GTX 680) , however I get the following when running your cmake command:

CMake Error at cmake/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:138 (message):
  Could NOT find CryptoPP (missing: CRYPTOPP_INCLUDE_DIR CRYPTOPP_LIBRARY)
  (Required is at least version "5.6.2")


I tried searching for CryptoPP to install it, however google searches only return people having trouble building this Smiley

Thanks for any suggestions you may have!

(edit: wow, just realized how old my sig is... I've been out of the crypto game since like 2011 when I sold tons of bitcoins for $7 each...)

1.0.6 is also bugged i think because i'm still getting that strange unknown error after the dag reset, i'm reverting to the last 4b3, it was working good

I did performance comparison 1.0.6 with Claymore's miner in single ETH mode:
1.0.6: 74,5 MHs (about 71MHs according to pool metrics)
Claymore: 66,7 MHs
It's about -10% of performance
Rig: R7 370 x5, Catalyst 15.12, Win7 64bit, RAM 4GB + PAGEFILE 8GB

Pitcairns are known to perform worse with Claymore' miner. He's working on it. My 7950 hashes equally on the two miners.

Here are my speeds with Windows 7 and various AMD GPUs.
