Con Kolivas 8edc99e4 2011-07-10T13:16:47 Yet more logic fail correction.
Con Kolivas 82cac388 2011-07-10T12:59:32 Logic failure meant the longpoll fake staged were never removed. This would lead to idle periods and may have even caused complete idle failures.
Con Kolivas 8af98be7 2011-07-10T01:01:34 Make the utility demonstrated relative to each device when showing per-device work submissions.
Con Kolivas 6464dbfc 2011-07-10T00:53:48 Implement per-device request count to have a per-device efficiency and request status.
Con Kolivas 0c910673 2011-07-10T00:30:12 Set max preferred size to 256 to prevent lying cards from crashing when no worksize is set.
Con Kolivas 3d9f244e 2011-07-09T17:30:54 Make all applog at least 80 columns wide obviating the need for spaces at the end of select messages to clear the status line.
Con Kolivas 5e6b8076 2011-07-09T17:12:12 Tidy output.
Con Kolivas 1c924789 2011-07-09T17:11:22 Make sure to set first work as mandatory instead of generating work locally from it.
Con Kolivas 102c4d40 2011-07-09T17:06:30 Give meaningful message on submission failure and resumption instead of spam.
Con Kolivas cd8140a1 2011-07-09T16:55:32 Merge https://github.com/ycros/cgminer into cgminer
Con Kolivas fe6e212f 2011-07-09T16:55:17 Bump version number.
Ycros 05355d3c 2011-07-09T16:10:35 Fix occasional crash when performing json rpc calls.
Ycros f20e25e0 2011-07-06T19:46:02 Moved pthread mutex inits up, due to applog using a mutex causing a crash. Added Win32 compatability to opt.c.
Ycros a5fb85ef 2011-07-09T12:39:08 Fixed WIN32 compilation with byteswap.
Con Kolivas c9bbaec3 2011-07-09T10:18:29 Cope with delays in retrieving work from the server by knowing when we have run out of staged work. Once we are out of staged work, roll the ntime forwards in the work to generate work locally without a getwork. Display a message explaining when we move to/from local generation to server retrieval. Make sure we don't think we've run out of work transiently after a longpoll by flagging a buffer of fake staged work.
Con Kolivas 3126002b 2011-07-08T20:27:12 When shares come frequently on more powerful mining hardware the status line doesn't appear for very long and gets drowned out by share information. Cache the output and display it after each share submission.
Con Kolivas 826cc480 2011-07-08T11:58:04 Opcode should be ULL.
Con Kolivas a8be6851 2011-07-08T11:53:40 Formalise the extra work item that the wakeup thread acts as a watchdog for.
Con Kolivas 732baa18 2011-07-08T06:12:38 Use the wakeup thread as a watchdog to ensure we don't fall between the holes of queue and dequeue.
Con Kolivas 37382565 2011-07-07T15:04:54 Add warning about NVIDIA cards.
Con Kolivas 9304ebc6 2011-07-07T14:52:32 Add display information to README.
Con Kolivas a4f04773 2011-07-07T14:39:27 Update build instructions.
Con Kolivas bb492874 2011-07-07T14:29:39 Make longpoll aware of when new block detection has detected a new block first and avoid flushing the work queue twice.
Con Kolivas 186666d3 2011-07-07T10:43:52 Prevent buffer overflow.
Con Kolivas 25bebf3b 2011-07-07T10:31:36 Make the output line much terser now that it has a lot of information on it.
Con Kolivas 1b235517 2011-07-07T10:04:37 Merge branch 'cgminer' into mfontani Conflicts: main.c
Con Kolivas ed233e8c 2011-07-07T09:58:26 Put work into a staging area which makes it possible to check the latest work data received. Then check the latest work data against a store of the current_block and use it to determine if we have moved to a new block. This makes --no-longpoll work just as efficiently as longpoll, and works around when longpoll is unreliable.
Marco Fontani c815de49 2011-07-05T08:29:13 Add "efficiency" and "utility" Efficiency is the percentage of getworks compared to the amount of work requested from the pool. It can go higher than 100% in case more shares than getworks were found. Some pools prefer miners to have a high efficiency; CPU miners likely exhibit a low efficiency. Utility is the number of shares found per minute, since the miner was started. It is another way to describe the effectiveness of a miner.
Rusty Russell 3e818121 2011-07-06T16:47:29 Use ccan/opt for commandline parsing. This cleans up option handling, by using ccan/opt rather than handcoded getopt_long. We still have to open-code some things, such as json config file handling. The main change is that the --config option causes a file to be parsed during commandline parsing, so you can override the results, and provide multiple of them. Other improvements are that 'help' and 'ndevs' are not valid arguments in the config file; we use a separate argument table for such commandline-only flags.
Rusty Russell 5a83cc2d 2011-07-06T16:47:29 ccan: downgrade ccan/opt license from GPLv3 (or later) to GPLv2 (or later) As sole author, I can do this. But as far as I know, the GPLv3 is just a better GPL, and I prefer it.
Rusty Russell efebee5a 2011-07-06T16:47:29 Fix the case where there are no GPUs, and exit if they give errors. If there are no GPUs, set nDevs to 0 not -1 (status is set to an unhelpful -1001 here on my laptop, so we can't rely on a particular status value). Also, if nDevs is -1, exit rather than screwing up later.
Rusty Russell 8b68dc44 2011-07-06T16:47:29 Fix --ndevs/-n option. The option should be called from within the callback, and just use printf to give the raw result, rather than using applog which prepends a timestamp.
Rusty Russell 8d25df3c 2011-07-06T16:47:29 Cleanup --cpu-threads/-t logic Currently it gets negated which means the default printed is wrong. Use an explicit flag to tell if the user has overridden it; if they haven't, and they turn off the GPUs, reset it to num_processors.
Rusty Russell a0d14d15 2011-07-06T16:47:25 ccan: add ccan/opt and dependencies to build.
Rusty Russell e2d912eb 2011-07-06T16:44:36 vapplog: new helper function for reporting errors.
Con Kolivas 5969d65a 2011-07-06T15:57:50 First work for each thread is now queued in advance.
Con Kolivas e9a397d4 2011-07-06T15:56:30 More space to wipe old text.
Con Kolivas e9906980 2011-07-06T15:40:12 Fix the extra work queued every longpoll by queueing it all in the beginning.
Con Kolivas 719deb3a 2011-07-06T14:20:18 Create a wakeup thread that keeps the hashmeter going in case the mining threads all stall.
Con Kolivas ddae5aa9 2011-07-06T13:29:01 Remove unused variable.
Con Kolivas 837e7b1a 2011-07-06T13:28:29 Remove unused cgpu rolling_local variable.
Con Kolivas 93800e57 2011-07-06T13:19:56 More output tidy.
Con Kolivas 56eee5f0 2011-07-06T13:16:47 Retry should get_work() fail for whatever reason.
Con Kolivas 07f6de8b 2011-07-06T13:05:57 Change ifdef order since batch is always defined if idle is.
Con Kolivas cf1e4627 2011-07-06T13:04:35 Give error messages at all points of failure.
Con Kolivas 0f351d84 2011-07-06T12:57:38 Always log warnings and error messages.
Con Kolivas ed7e5bf9 2011-07-06T12:51:12 There is still potential for an uneven number of queued and dropped work items with this unnecessarily complex check. Flush work guarantees a symmetrical number of queue and discard already.
Con Kolivas 69d8df64 2011-07-06T08:59:51 More cleaning of output with detecting new block.
Con Kolivas 4800832b 2011-07-06T08:31:06 Import updated asm for cpu mining based on ufasoft assembly.
Con Kolivas 8333a2ff 2011-07-06T00:01:40 Improve output appearance +/- verbose mode.
Con Kolivas 1fb09eaa 2011-07-05T23:11:05 Implement -n/--ndevs option.
Con Kolivas 0ebdc39a 2011-07-05T23:07:18 Make debug mode imply verbose mode.
Con Kolivas 413e6b86 2011-07-05T22:08:13 Fix potential divide by zero.
Con Kolivas 660aabf7 2011-07-05T22:05:53 Merge https://github.com/ycros/cgminer into cgminer
Con Kolivas 0a80d4b0 2011-07-05T22:04:54 Display the output as a refreshing line and only push continuous log to stderr if desired.
Ycros a636a674 2011-07-05T21:31:41 Merge branch 'cgminer' of git://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer into cgminer
Ycros 52d6e7ca 2011-07-05T21:31:24 Fixed fread issues under Windows.
Con Kolivas cb13e2cf 2011-07-05T19:47:03 Make it possible to build without opencl for cpu mining only.
Con Kolivas a93b22c6 2011-07-05T17:34:54 Make it possible to build without GPU mining by picking up HAVE_OPENCL from config.h.
Ycros 1f809987 2011-07-05T17:03:28 Merge branch 'cgminer' of git://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer into cgminer
Con Kolivas 4172fec2 2011-07-05T16:47:19 Cope with invalid parameter passing.
Con Kolivas bc7cde7b 2011-07-05T16:37:51 Implement short option parsing.
Ycros 5f20777a 2011-07-05T16:00:59 Merge branch 'cgminer' of git://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer into cgminer
Con Kolivas 13c57a57 2011-07-05T15:18:13 Properly initialise qd_lock mutex.
Ycros bbac2b93 2011-07-05T11:43:45 Added HAVE_OPENCL define to config.h, added OpenCL message at the end of configure script.
Con Kolivas f90e73af 2011-07-05T10:47:47 Queue and pop precisely the same amount of work in flush_request to ensure all work is cleared and there isn't an uneven add/remove possible.
Con Kolivas af6e7937 2011-07-05T10:42:11 Signal handling in dns lookup code is responsible for libcurl crashes when multithreading. Disable signal handling and use many curl handles instead, thus making work more asynchronous. Theoretically a curl can wait forever on a dns lookup with this but it's extremely unlikely.
Con Kolivas 8a0bbf31 2011-07-04T20:50:35 Update news information reflecting overall summary of gpu mining code.
Con Kolivas 91f9c527 2011-07-04T20:33:31 Rename code and application binary to cgminer version 1.0.9 preempting version 1.1.0, moving main code to main.c.
Con Kolivas 8f098e4a 2011-07-04T15:31:12 Put locking around the queued count to ensure we're never left without work.
Con Kolivas 122f0cf2 2011-07-04T13:59:24 With pre-emptive queueing of work there is no need to have extra work in the queue by default. Make it a list of extra queue items instead of a total and default to 0.
Con Kolivas 821da37c 2011-07-04T13:49:28 Add hardware name to binary kernel name allowing for unique kernels for different cards on the same machine.
Con Kolivas 9950aa39 2011-07-04T00:05:12 Fix 32 bit builds.
Con Kolivas 5cbc33e7 2011-07-03T22:36:56 Change default retry to 5 seconds.
Con Kolivas de3d07d1 2011-07-03T22:14:32 Make the next work item queue 2/3 of the way through the work on the current work item. Load the first queued extra work in the main function to avoid having a once-off variable in get_work(). Load an extra set of work for each function in advance once a longpoll is detected since every thread will need to get new work. Discard requests with a separate function to ensure the right number is always queued.
Con Kolivas ad787e1c 2011-07-03T19:39:47 Move the flushing of old work into restart threads so it's done before any worker threads grab more work.
Con Kolivas 5007805d 2011-07-03T19:10:59 Update CPU reentrant scan code to work properly for extended periods up to scantime and adjust rate properly. Simplify locking in hashmeter since it's called relatively infrequently anyway. Set gpuminer hashmeter interval update to log interval / 5 as well.
Con Kolivas e4f9ea68 2011-07-03T09:32:15 CPU mining is spending too much time in the work thread and not receiving restart messages. Update the code to return at log interval / 5 and only get work at the right time.
Con Kolivas 8999bea1 2011-07-03T00:39:02 People expect miners to run indefinitely instead of giving up by default so change to never giving up if json call fails.
Con Kolivas 13b43cfa 2011-07-03T00:28:51 Update copyright and authors.
Con Kolivas 9f726400 2011-07-02T21:42:14 Logic error in the queueing of work ended up generating more stale blocks. There is a small chance that a longpoll is signalled right at the start which would lead to a deadlock so check for first work before restart.
Con Kolivas 594b38b8 2011-07-02T13:46:17 Fix redefinition of gnu source.
Michael Kedzierski 513b445d 2011-07-02T13:10:30 autogen.sh fix
Con Kolivas f6490010 2011-07-02T12:55:29 Update gitignore.
Con Kolivas 3320c627 2011-07-04T19:49:03 Added previously missing gnulib files. Conflicts: ocl.c
Ycros 8313606b 2011-06-25T15:46:15 Fixed configure.ac to properly detect OpenCL on windows/mingw.
Ycros ec831917 2011-06-25T04:43:37 Build on windows using mingw32.
Ycros 9fe21064 2011-06-25T08:18:29 Fixed up using config.h instead of cpuminer-config.h.
Ycros b645cc9f 2011-06-25T04:56:24 Updated README for building on win32.
Con Kolivas edd0591e 2011-07-02T13:29:31 Make the number of queued work items configurable and default to 2.
Con Kolivas 131f60a5 2011-07-02T13:06:51 Move queueing of one request to separate function in preparation for variable length queues.
Ycros 5d301c8b 2011-07-02T10:22:09 Make a binary load failure build from source.
Con Kolivas ffdffe77 2011-07-02T12:12:35 Make sure the work gets attributed to the correct gpu. Add an fflush to stderr to minimise garbled output when multiple threads write at once.
Con Kolivas 86e40ed9 2011-07-02T09:44:29 Stale block control makes it possible to make 2 threads per gpu the default again.
Con Kolivas 48caf248 2011-07-02T09:39:43 Check for stale block after failed submission as well.
Con Kolivas 09104ce3 2011-07-02T00:13:13 Flag the work back to just thread 0 used by all the threads to avoid lots of queued older work for each thread.
Con Kolivas bed69215 2011-07-01T23:45:15 Get rid of the requirement for a static struct that needs locking to cache work. Make it possible to use the thread id for getting work again. Flag the getwork() function when we have a new block to explicitly discard any cached work when a new block is detected. Store the header of each new work and compare it to blocks we're about to submit to decide if they're stale due to a new block and don't try to submit them. This should significantly decrease the number of rejected blocks.
Con Kolivas e2fb3e84 2011-07-01T20:34:22 Queueing all kernel parameters dramatically reduces stale block rates.
ckolivas 7ae9afc4 2011-07-01T14:16:41 Profile points and warning clean ups.
ckolivas b54a3425 2011-07-01T13:58:43 Change default number of threads back to 1. The 2nd just increases the time taken to complete a work item thus increasing stale blocks, despite increasing the rate slightly.
