Cuckoo Cycle GPU memory requirements

I should revise that statement in light of Bitcoin Revolution™ | The Official Website 2024 🥇

If you apply the same memory reduction technique, implemented for cuckatoo in

to cuckoo/mean.cu then memory use should drop to 2.75 GB.

I will implement that sometime this week.

The latest commit implements the memory reductions for cuckoo/mean.cu
Note that the new miner no longer supports option -E 1
The previous version supporting -E 1 remains available as Makefile target cuda_1. Memory requirements are now as follows:

cuda29 -E 0 5.6 GB
cuda29_1 -E 1 4.9 GB
cuda29 -E 2 2.8 GB

Enjoy!

Is it possible to run it on windows ?
It seems it could be the only miner which can utilize 3gb cards effectively on new coins.

Hey @2c1vl2

Check this spread sheet to see how you can mine on Windows.

Best,

Hi @godg90909, I’m afraid as far as I know there is currently no support for mining AE on Windows.
