Excellent job  Shocked Shocked Shocked please give us the compiled beta version for various benchmarks. it may helps you to get things done..

Compiled binary? Pffft. Then the next guy won't be able to speed up Bitcrack  Wink I'll just put the source on GitHub once I'm find the optimal level of tuning.

Source code is useless for me as i am a noob in those programming Except little bit in python and can't able to compile too  Cry 

Whether you're using Linux or Windows the compilation process is actually straightforward. On Linux you just open a terminal and run make BUILD_CUDA=1, and I have an autodetection script that will detect the compute cap of the GPUs.

On Windows you go to Visual Studio > Build Solution, and I believe there's an environment variable for the CUDA compute cap you can set from the Properties, however I haven't compiled Windows stuff in a while so I need to recheck where it is.

In all seriousness though, it is better not to make a compiled binary because assembly for all of the CUDA compute caps have to be included in the binary and that takes a long time to make, longer than just building against one compute cap
