Title: Slightly updated cudaPTS source, with xpt
Post by: dga on April 18, 2014, 01:36:02 pm
Hey, all - not a big change, but I finally got around to porting the cudaPTS code into the xpt codebase also.  I've pushed out a different version of it.  This one includes some CPU-side and GPU-side speed boosts, though they're not huge.  Provides an open source alternative for people who like to mine on xpt-based pools such as ypool or 1gh.

I didn't do any major changes to it, so it's likely that some of the binary builds are faster, but it's free and you can inspect the source.  If you check it out and build it, by default, it has a 2% dev fee (which ypool pays, but I don't think other pools pay attention to), but that's all controllable from the command line if you don't like it.

It's an ugly hack for the xpt integration - I'm mostly releasing it to get it out there.  Patches accepted for cleanup. :)

If you run it, run with a -m512 to trigger the GPU code.
