Version 1.3.6 alpha NVIDIA for Linux

* cryptonight bug fixes & improvements

The Linux version of excavator is compatible only with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and it requires NVIDIA Display Driver 387 or later. All you need to do for installation on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is to install a compatible NVIDIA driver and to run:

Sorry for the delay... The new support scripts should be pretty useful, though. Enjoy!

Hi!
I compared performance of versions 1.3.4a and 1.3.6a in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on Palit p106-100 (GFX 1060 6G).
It's very strange - on Monero (cryptonight algorithm) I have results:

1.3.4a ~ 431-436 H/s,
1.3.6a ~ 460-464 H/s.

In json config I use CUDA-cryptonight parameters: B=30,TPB=32.

PS. ZEC mining looks the same in both versions.


I am not sure if it is my optimization or voidstar's bug fix, but I am glad to hear that anyway!

One another question - how to use miner on AMD GPUs in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS?
