BitShares PTS / Re: fast AMD OpenCL PTS miner released

If it is Linux, this could indicate that there is no running Xserver. please always provide some info about the used catalyst driver and the operating system (32bit windows / 64bit windows / 64bit-linux)

In your case i think that the miner tries to get the devices of the intel opencl platform and perhaps fails because the intel opencl implementation does not support any of your devices (-1 means CL_DEVICE_NOT_FOUND). I need more information to decide that.

I'm working on a windows version and it will be released as soon as my toolchain for windows binaries works (likely today or tomorrow).
The miner can only connect to beeeeer.org at the moment but i plan to add additional pools.

not enough memory. you need at least 1.25GB for the GPU. it is hopeless

the driver is very old.

well, it seems that you are trying to use your integrated graphics. this will not be very fast if it would work.
my compiler outputs binaries for BeaverCreek so at least compiling has to work for you. i guess this is a driver bug. in my opinion  drivers for APUs have a lot more bugs than the desktop drivers. which version of fglrx are you using?

ok, thanks. this is a little bit strange... i need to think about it.
@duckproto: the 270X has 4GB RAM, or? with 2GB two instances should not work

will you add other pools support? (for example 1gh, to compare it with their miner?)
i have no plan to support ypool.net (it's a good pool, but it became too large). i will support other pools/protocols as soon as there are enough fees or donations. but i think you can compare miners by comparing c/m after a few hours of runtime. the actual income is given by the pool's luck and payout policy.

well, wait a few minutes so that the values can stabilize. the program averages over all collisions. normally both instances will get the same average so i would take your lowest value times 2 for a first guess when running two instances.

thx. i'm working on fixing this.

@290X: did you try to use 2 processes on one card? for me that increased the effective speed

Run two copies of the app on the same card?

yes. the kernels seem to be a little bit too short, so there is some additional latency, which can be hidden by additional instances

here is a new, fast miner for AMD gpus: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=2598.0

BitShares PTS / AMD OpenCL Momentum miner
« on: January 26, 2014, 08:41:40 pm »
This is a OpenCL Momentum miner for AMD GPUs. The performance is 6700+ c/m on a R9 280X@1100Mhz, so that this seems to be the fastest released miner. Binaries are available for Windows and Linux.

NEW: First version of JSON-RPC Bitcredit solo miner: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ycqnadnjp8rhsp0/AADKNyWsn0oShLPtNGCBliWba?dl=0

DOWNLOAD v2.1: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0ijulsq12j3vxrb/AADkD4Snxy_AJD5oXTzZr1J_a?dl=0 This version has multi-pool support and pool-fallback, i.e. it connects to the next pool in a user specified list, if there is no connection to the current pool. Every 10 minutes it is checked whether a pool with higher priority is online again. Download and unpack the miner into a folder. Depending on the version of your installed Catalyst driver, copy the gpuhash_* files in the suitable subfolder into the binaries folder.  I recommend Catalyst 14.9 or newer for clpts, but Catalyst 14.12 seems to be slower than Catalyst 14.9. Catalyst 14.6 and 14.7 should work with the binaries for Catalyst 14.9.
DOWNLOAD v1.3: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/17dss1hon0338q6/AAAUUSvog-SsX_KDWJjAukzLa?dl=0

UPDATE 18: Version v2.1 of the miner is released and here is list of some changes:
  • v2.1 fixes a bug in the stratum implementation, which produces invalid shares, if the current block includes any transactions. Furthermore,  the README is updated and some other minor bugs are fixed.
  • optimized algorithms. Algorithm 0 and 1 need ~1.3GB of GPU-RAM per thread and algorithms 2-7 only ~900 MB. Algorithm 6/7 is included for legacy and it is the same algorithm as 3/4 of clpts v1.3. Odd numbered algorithms are faster in cases, where only one thread per GPU is used.
  • added stratum support and new pools. The developer fee for ypool.net is 2.5% and for all other pools 2.0%.
  • added pool shares statistics, which show the accepted share value on connection basis.
  • minor bugfixes

known issues: The miner does not run if the installed Catalyst driver is too old or the wrong binaries are used. Some configurations crash during startup and the issue depends on the thread counts. The 32-bit Windows executable does not show this behaviour and works on 64-bit Windows. Otherwise, you might run several instances of the miner. The miner is not optimized to run on 5000 and 6000 series GPUs and needs at least ~900 MB free GPU memory per thread.

NOTE 1: When you post errors I appreciate some information about the operating system (Windows or Linux / 32bit or 64bit is sufficient) and the used Catalyst driver. Furthermore you should suppress the section between the stars of the output of the miner excluding the miner version (at the moment it hasn't any relevance but it will become important in the future). The Linux version is much faster than the Windows version on R9 290(X), which seems to be a driver issue.

NOTE 2: Please make sure that you are not using an outdated Catalyst version and read the README.


I would be grateful for donations to speed up the development of a version for Nvidia GPUs:
