EthereumMiner

EthereumMiner is Xilinx's open-sourced solution written in C++ for Ethereum mining.

Currently, this solution offers:

  • On device side, a Vitis based kernel design to accelerate Ethash, which is hashing algorithm of Ethereum.
  • Also, a Vitis based kernel design to accelerate "DAG" generation, which provides the large dataset needed by Ethash.
  • On host side, a patch to "ethminer" which is the most popular mining software, for customer to do mining with their own account and desired mining pool.

Requirement

  • Currently this solution support Xilinx Varium C1100, you need installed packages for the card, like XRT / firmware and development package for the card.
  • If you would like to build the xclbin files on your own machine, you'll also need Vitis that is at least 2021.1 or later version. You could also download pre-buildt xclbin files from Xilinx. Please take reference from "Step to run".

Step to run

    1. Get xclbins ready. You can either download them from Xilinx or try build them yourself. To download from Xilinx: "./build.sh get_xclbin". To build your self: "./build.sh build_ethash" and "./build.sh build_daggen"
    1. Get ethminer ready: "./build.sh build_host"
    1. Run: "./build mine <your_account> <your_mine_name> <mining_pool_address>"
