There is a new online manual with basic examples hosted here.
Changelog
Version 1.25
lolMiner goes CUDA!
Added a real Cuda back-end for better Nvidia GPU support on Ethash. Features:
- Supports Maxwell to Ampere GPU generations.
- Two different mining kernels. Use --mode a (faster) --mode b (better energy efficiency) to select between the two. The selection can be done per card via a comma separated list. In mixed system select 'a' for skipping over the AMD cards.
- Both kernel modes need less energy and perform better then in 1.24a
- Reduced internal latency for less stale shares
- Reduced CPU load when mining with Nvidia cards
- lolMiner works now without OpenCL driver installed
- In case of mixed rigs AMD GPUs will use OpenCL while Nvidia cards use Cuda
- ZIL cache feature fully supported (and stable)
- Temperature stop & Zombie mode is currently not supported
Further Feature Updates:
- Added Ethash, Beam Hash III, Grin Cuckatoo 32 and Cortex kernels for RX 6700
- The Ethash stratum interface will now try to run up to three attempts of reconnecting before switching the stratum mode
Bug fixes
- Fixed "Warning: index out of bounds" error when switching from ETHPROXY to ETHV1 stratum mode. This might solve problems with some pools on connection loss.
Nice update :-)
It is really interesting the Fix Clock for Nvidia, for Linux and Windows... the reduction of Watts are impressive.
Here one Nvidia Rig with memories at 1500. Clock Fixed to 750 in 3070 and 1020 in 3080... With higher memories the clock should be pushed a little bit not too much
Here a nice mix Rig, with an incredible performance with the RTX 2070 Super... going under 90W... Really nice
