Claymore-Dual-Miner Does not work on Volta (V100) class hardware

Hi.

I have some Volta class hardware - the V100's to be exact. The current release (10) does not seem to detect or understand the V100 + CUDA9 under CentOS 7.4...

Hopefully I can help you add support for it, if you have not already considered it.

Wanted to do some benchmarking here at Paperspace and also ran in to this issue.

Unfortunately, still broken in 10.1...

Any update on this, finding same thing... Is there any mining software out there that works with Tesla V100s at this time?

Nuh.

On 10.2, slightly newer CUDA9 packaging, still a fail...

Odd. Etherminer seems to work just fine?

Hi,

Any news on this issue? Miner just crash with errors provided before and with ethminer hash rate start on 90+ mh/s then it goes down to 50mh/s. And it will be cool if somebody feel free to share ./ethminer command using to run on his miner that assure stable hashrate. Sys info; Ubuntu 16.04 with last CUDA drivers.

Thanks

Sigh. Was really hoping to have some action on this by now. It is the fastest GPU in the world. I'd have expected to see support for it by now. Perhaps there is much more to it than I understand, in terms of implementation difficulties.

I can get a stable hashrate at 93.5MH/s using the following string (using ethminer).

./ethminer --cl-parallel-hash 4 --farm-recheck 200 -G -F http://127.0.0.1/blah

Fastest is not necessarily best. I had a 1080 Ti which used about 250W. I replaces it with TWO 1070 cards that did nearly double the work for less power. IMHO hashes/s/W is more important that speed.

Granted, and agree entirely - but when power consumption is irrelevant - it'd be nice to have the support for the GPU, nonetheless.

Perhaps there is more to this - and your perspective is one that Claymore shares. I.e - they want to help the miners with the most common devices achieve gains - rather than support specific devices to just "go fast".

Who knows. This is just conjecture, I suppose.
