Does anyone know how to get GIMPs working on AMD GPUs?
You need
mfakto, I have been using v0.13 didn't realise there was a newer version until just now.
After you've downloaded, extract the mfakto file and add a "worktodo.txt" file in the directory.
Log into your account at the GIMPS site and select manual testing /assignments from the left hand side drop down menu, you want:
Preferred work type: Trial factoring.
Number of assignments you want for each core: (how many work units you want).. say 10 for e.g.
Copy and paste the work units into your "worktodo.txt" file, each work unit will look something like this: Factor=*3B,94668187,69,70
I change the range up to 72, or 73 to look like this: Factor=*3B,94668187,69,73
..otherwise they complete too quickly and your constantly getting & uploading work..
Run the mfato.exe, when the work units are complete you have a "results.txt" file in your work directory. log into the GIMPS site again and upload it via "manual testing/results". you can "choose file" and "upload" the results.txt or copy and paste your results and "submit".
If you have more than one card in a machine, you need to create separate work directories and make shortcuts adding -d 0 , -d 1 ..etc for the separate cards (this is explained in the readme)
and it's more than six times the average usage.
