How do you create wallet for this particular project

Ed-Yang commented 3 years ago

I do not understand your question, please elaborate, thanks.

We need to add our wallet address before mining. Which is the particular directory or is there procedure for that Thank you

Ed-Yang commented 3 years ago

The original plan is to port Ethminer to Xilinx U50 card with two steps. The first step is measure performance od ethash on U50, and then integrate it to Ethminer. In the first step, it is found the performance is too slow (see README), so I release the work to GitHub for getting help. If there is a way to improve ethash performance, it is easy to make it work on Ethminer.

This project does not provide a full miner program, it is just a demo of ethash on Xilinx U50, so it does not need to provide the wallet address.

Is there the need for vitis to bulid ethash?if yes,can I know the procedure Thank You

Ed-Yang commented 3 years ago

Yes, it is needed to install Vitis to build this project. The ethash implementation is copied from Ethminer project which is written in OpenCL.

spArTans5 commented 3 years ago

ethash is the only thing that needs to be build in vitis?

spArTans5 commented 3 years ago

Do you have any how on to increase the performance in alveo U50 or is it a dead end ? Thank You

Ed-Yang commented 3 years ago

I am not expert at Xilinx programming, the following link is my post for performance issue. It is believed that are some way to improve it.
