Thank you very much for your attention.

I though that e-mail or PM could be more appropriate instead of spamming offtopics here but anyway.

Our university group develops a project for real-time automotive modeling.
One of the stages require search and evaluate of vector similarity trough 60K to 6M candidates in real time. Unfortunately the CPU makes the search for 2 sec. up to 200 sec. - too far from realtime.
I have no any experience of GPU-programing but a colleague of mine hint me that the GPUs are tremendously effective especially in such kind of simple but massive calculations.

So the search involves:

all our values are single precision float (32-bit)
search vector a[30] - with 10 to 30 float32 values, could be 32 values padded with 2 "0"s
search space b[6,000,000][30] - 6M vectors similar to a[30]

we need to calculate
c[p][j] = 100 - abs((a[j] - b[p][j]) / abs(b[p][j]) * 100)   // p changes from 0 to 6M, j changes from 0 to 30
c[p] = sum(c[p][j]) over j  / 30
if c[p] > 50 then put "p" in the list of returned b[] indexes to CPU

These "100 -" and "* 100" are in order to make the result having a sense of percent similarity/difference respectively.
The constant "> 50" have to be selectable (meaning "percent similarity"), i.e. not hard-coded but sent as argument.
Also "p" could change to 60K or to 6M or something in between, also "j' could change to 10 or to 32 or something in between.

The task is all that search to be made in optimal and fastest possible way (in a part of second) instead of 2-200 seconds on CPU...

On my calcs 6M * 32 point each float32 vectors are about 768MB so even on a little card like Radeon R7 370 (Pitcairn) with 2GB of memory it could be executable.

Because you coding closed-source, we even do not need to know the source code. We need let say a linkable .dll with only 3 functions:

1) Upload b[p][j] array in the GPU memory (I suppose it is similar to DAG-file in Ethereum)
2) give the a[] searching vector and the "percent variable" to GPU, perform full search through all b[]s and return a list of indexes pointing to every b[] which fulfils the percent condition
3) add a new member to array b[] (in order next time to search through N+1 b[] vectors)

About a payment - I'm not sure. My salary is about 1-2 ETH/month (depending of its price). Have another about 10 ETH mined (thanks to your miners). Eventually we will "earn" about 10K € if win the project, for all the development + expenses. If you are interested of any of that - please write.

P.S. Now I noticed - the forum screws the indexing of the arrays - missing "i" in [] so I replaced it with "p"

Who knows... sometimes miracles happen...
I rely on that my request won't spend him more than 10-15 mins of his precious time.
It's not connected to rigs and mining but with GPU programming for university purposes.

I can't. I'm a "newbie" here
If you can send him a PM, I could send to you in order to resend to him and will be much grateful...

Dear Claymore,

How could I contact you?
Need a little help with a GPU stuff.
My email is tetracen@abv.bg

Sorry for the off...

There are NO active masternodes just now...
On page http://sibcoin.org/en/stats in "Masternode" section all of them are in NEW_START_REQUIRED or EXPIRED status.
But the new starting doesn't help!
I have a sense that something in the sentinel's database (sqlite) overloades but I'm not so qualified to track it...

Ivan (ivanr@sib.guru), please take an urgent investigation!

Something wrong happens with the database of the sentinel in the masternodes today and yesterday!
The count of active masternodes decreases with hours!
Do anyone knows what happens? Ivan Rublev?

Yesterday applied.

Have great interest to support such a project, even with University's equipment (servers, etc.).

Thank you very much! I apologize (seems I've been through this...).

Is there any changes to R9 390 code? I had an impression that for Eth last year the indicator showed > 33 MHs. Now (on Music and Exp) it is barely 32.
Even with +- trick.

Hello Mr. Claymore,
I have a little request: The word goes about these 2GB Radeon cards which are already not suitable for mining Ethereum... They can't dig Ethrtrum but still can do Musicoin, Expanse, etc. So when I begin to mine with them with the Dual miner (in ethereum-only mode) they try to switch to other pools in order to dig devfee, but the Ethereum DAG could not be fitted in their memory and the whole thing crashes (or the switching is so slow that this kills most of the useful time for mining)... The only workaround is to set -nofee 1 but then I loose the latest speed optimizations on these already slow cards... PLEASE, Mr. Claymore, remove this limitation in case when all the cards are 2GB. I'm agree to send you a part of the coins earned but this limitation is "to murder an already dead dog" in these cases...

Hello Christian,

The answer is:
Block not found (code -5)

Sad!
For several days I have a sense that just contributing to Global warming...

Best regards:

Hi, guys, Matthias.

It seems I'm out of synch... For several days my wallet shows sometime 4 and sometimes 3 connections to the network. The count of earned coins visibly increases but https://chainz.cryptoid.info shows only the old states. I made a depiosit shince then which isn't shown anywhere.
Is there any problem with the blockchain and how I can check/correct it?
I'm, with the newest version of software v3.0.2.0-g4f9cc23 and always keep it up to date.

Thanks in advance and for your great project!
Vad

The bastard gone with all the money...

z0n0 is right!
We urgently and desperately need Claymore ZCash Miner v1.0 (Windows/Linux) with good support and temperature/fan control for RX 480.
The other miners, even if happen to work, doesn't load the chip properly so the results are about 17-20 sols/s, although the chip is capable to perform up to 45 sol/s alone!

Even with 2% donation for Mr.Claymore - it will be profitable for all.

SpaceMarko = SpamMarko

Quite a progress...
Where it is?

I don't aim pumping but just want to buy LBC on a reasonable price.

I set to buy 100,000 for 0.0001 BTC and waiting more than a month yet.

OK, it's "dead"!
Just bury it and forget.

But you won't...

Marko continuously demonstrates a big skepticism about LBRY but in my opinion he is rather interested about this coin and tries to decide whether to invest big amount of (fiat) money in it or not...
Invest, Marko, invest! Every coin has its hard times at the beginning, even the BTC!
