API incorporation request

[starlilyth]

I would like to request the incorporation of an API for external monitoring and control of CudaMiner, in the style of CGMiner (https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/blob/3.7/API-README).

I understand this is not a trivial feature, however, the benefits of having CudaMiner manageable with pre-existing tools are many. As a developer of mining interface applications, I can tell you that "make PoolManager work with CudaMiner" is a very frequent request from users.

This can be implemented in stages, with basic version and status reporting as a start. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance.

Thanks, Lily https://miner.farm

Yes this was planned at one point, but the looming demise of scrypt GPU mining prompted us to put priority into the ccMiner application. Currently X11 mining is fastest on nVidia GPUs because of our work.

Because both programs share a lot of code, I think any attempt to incorporate an API into one codebase would also make merging into the other codebase easy.

The API work was not forgotten, just delayed a bit.

Thank you guys, we are seeing a ton of requests which would require an API for cudaminer and ccMiner, and I am fine with priority being placed there and then slide it into cudaminer too. Anything to move this along would be supremely helpful to anyone with an nvidia mining operation, which is growing exponentially.
