Work in progress. Working solvers CPU_TROMP, CPU_XENONCAT, CUDA_TROMP, CUDA_DJEZO
+
sudo apt-get upgrade
−
General instructions:
+
sudo apt-get update
−
 
+
sudo apt install qt5-default
−
    Install CUDA SDK v8 (make sure you have cuda libraries in LD_LIBRARY_PATH and cuda toolkit bins in PATH)
+
sudo apt-get install cmake build-essential libboost-all-dev
−
        example on Ubuntu:
+
cd /usr/local/src
−
        LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/cuda-8.0/lib64:/usr/local/cuda-8.0/lib64/stubs"
+
git clone https://github.com/sarath-hotspot/nheqminer.git267
−
        PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/cuda-8.0/"
+
cd nheqminer/nheqminer
−
        PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/cuda-8.0/bin"
+
mkdir build
−
 
+
cd build
−
    Use Boost 1.62+ (if it is not available from the repos you will have to download and build it yourself)
+
cmake ..
−
 
+
make
−
    CMake v3.5 (if it is not available from the repos you will have to download and build it yourself)
 
−
 
 
−
    Currently support only static building (CPU_XENONCAT, CUDA_DJEZO are enabled by default, check CMakeLists.txt in nheqminer root folder)
 
−
 
 
−
    If not on Ubuntu make sure you have fasm installed and accessible in PATH
 
−
 
 
−
    After that open the terminal and run the following commands:
 
−
        git clone https://github.com/nicehash/nheqminer.git
 
−
        Generating asm object file:
 
−
            On Ubuntu:
 
−
                cd nheqminer/cpu_xenoncat/asm_linux/
 
−
                sh assemble.sh
 
−
            bundeled fasm not compatible:
 
−
                delete/replace (inside nheqminer/cpu_xenoncat/asm_linux/ directory) with fasm binary compatible with your distro
 
−
                cd nheqminer/cpu_xenoncat/asm_linux/
 
−
                sh assemble.sh
 
−
        cd ../../../
 
−
        mkdir build && cd build
 
−
        cmake ../nheqminer
 
−
        make -j $(nproc)
 
−
 
 
−
Run instructions:
 
−
 
 
−
Parameters: -h Print this help and quit -l [location] Stratum server:port -u [username] Username (bitcoinaddress) -a [port] Local API port (default: 0 = do not bind) -d [level] Debug print level (0 = print all, 5 = fatal only, default: 2) -b [hashes] Run in benchmark mode (default: 200 iterations)
 
−
 
 
−
CPU settings -t [num_thrds] Number of CPU threads -e [ext] Force CPU ext (0 = SSE2, 1 = AVX, 2 = AVX2)
 
−
 
 
−
NVIDIA CUDA settings -ci CUDA info -cd [devices] Enable CUDA mining on spec. devices -cb [blocks] Number of blocks -ct [tpb] Number of threads per block Example: -cd 0 2 -cb 12 16 -ct 64 128
 
−
 
 
−
If run without parameters, miner will start mining with 75% of available logical CPU cores. Use parameter -h to learn about available parameters:
 
−
 
 
−
Example to run benchmark on your CPU:
 
−
 
 
−
    nheqminer -b
 
−
 
 
−
Example to mine on your CPU with your own BTC address and worker1 on NiceHash USA server:
 
−
 
 
−
    nheqminer -l equihash.usa.nicehash.com:3357 -u YOUR_BTC_ADDRESS_HERE.worker1
 
−
 
 
−
Example to mine on your CPU with your own BTC address and worker1 on EU server, using 6 threads:
 
−
 
 
−
    nheqminer -l equihash.eu.nicehash.com:3357 -u YOUR_BTC_ADDRESS_HERE.worker1 -t 6
 
−
 
 
−
Note: if you have a 4-core CPU with hyper threading enabled (total 8 threads) it is best to run with only 6 threads (experimental benchmarks shows that best results are achieved with 75% threads utilized)
 
−
 
 
−
Example to mine on your CPU as well on your CUDA GPUs with your own BTC address and worker1 on EU server, using 6 CPU threads and 2 CUDA GPUs:
 
−
 
 
−
    nheqminer -l equihash.eu.nicehash.com:3357 -u YOUR_BTC_ADDRESS_HERE.worker1 -t 6 -cd 0 1
