Open source OpenCL GPU miner by girino - Binaries for win, linux, osx (1% fee)

[girino]

can this be used to mine to a client?

I'm not sure to what this means.

[girino]

I appreciate the open-source miner, girino!

I needed to do the following, in addition to the instructions, to get a successful compile and run on Ubuntu 12.04:

1.  export BOOST_LIB_PATH=/usr/local/lib/boost
2.  export BOOST_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/include/boost
3.  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/boost
4.  make osfinder.sh executable

Note, boost install locations can differ, adjust accordingly.

Also, it is not necessary to logout/login or reboot as per the AMD SDK instructions.  Just source /etc/profile.

And, does your code honor the "-m" memory buffer size options?  I suspect not, because it errors out regardless of specified memory size when I am already running the clpts miner.  My hope was that, on my 2GB R9 270x, I could run both, just as how one can run multiple clpts threads on higher-memory GPUs.

the -m is added of 512Mb for algorithms v4, v6, v7 and v8. On algorithms v3 and v9 the value selected by -m is exact. (-m determines the size of the hash-table to be used. algos v4, v6, v7 and v8 also have all the hashes pre-calculated in batch, which uses an extra 512Mb. V3 and v9 calculate hashes on the fly, so no extra memory)

You need to run with "-a gpu" (or any of the variations, gpuv2 to gpuv9). The way you did it is trying to CPU mine with AVX instruction set that your machine does not support.

Huge thanks for leaving yours open source.  It's educational to see what you did for optimizing it for OpenCL - I haven't quite wrapped my head around when it's best to use the int4/int8 types, and I appreciate you providing an example of how the CUDA version translates into optimized CL.

As an appreciation:

An optimization that I know the CUDA compiler gets through automated loop unrolling, but that I'm not sure the OpenCL compiler gets, is that in your step0to15 function, you can eliminate the + w[ i ]  for values of i between 5 and 14.  It might be worth testing a variant with two versions of step0to15, one "normal" and one for the known-zero-values in w.

  -Dave

I am really quite new to openCL. I am used to optimize C and C++ code, so I just tried to apply the same techniques. I have still a hard time thinking in parallel As far as read in articles and specs, CUDA does a really better job in automatically vectorizing and in loop unrolling than OpenCL. Usually it's recommended that those be left to the compiler in CUDA while in OpenCL people tend to do it manually. In all my tests, only "long2" really improves speed (there are 128 registers in most gpus), but i used long8 anyway because it really makes the code more readable

I was planning to inspect the intermediary values of vectors so I could optimize a little more, but my son went through a surgery (removing the amygdalae, nothing serious) and i am spending all my free time with him instead of coding

Possibly next week i can continue working on this.

you need to install boost. Not sure what is the package name on ubuntu 13.10. try this:

Awesome piece of software
AMD R9 280x ~1040 c/m
built on OpenSuse 13.1

Thank You.

[dully]

Thanks Girino,

Good PTS miner. I've tried it today and can say it is quite quick compared to the crz one (cudaPTSwin). I am getting 50-60 c/m more with this one.
I really appreciate making the source available! Thank you.

[girino]

Helo all,

I just released binaries for this miner (see first post). Those binaries use a new sha512 code, tuned and optimized by my during the last few days. It is at least 15% faster than the old code. Binaries have a 1% fee added.

Short Version: faster! gpuv7 is default, gpuv9 is the low memory mode.

Download link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/n4ta5olqp2g5i9l/xkr0sCTrUu

TLDR version: The new "-a" options "gpuv7", "gpuv8" and "gpuv9" all use the new code. "gpuv9" is the low memory version, same as "gpuv3", using the new sha512 code. "gpuv8" is the same as "gpuv4" with the new code, and "gpuv7" is based on "gpuv6", but uses a linear collision avoidance hashtable instead of the plain hashtable used before. It is bound to find slightly more hashes at the cost of being a little bit slower. since in all my tests it produces better CPM, i made "gpuv7" the default mode. The old modes are still kept for compatibility (maybe my optimizations are not compatible with all GPUs, then you can always fall back to the old modes).

Please download and enjoy.

Thanks,
girino.

[girino]

Using some optimizations by DGA I could get another 10% improvement in performance. Still not the fastest  around, but getting closer

Please use the link on the first page to test!
