This is a support thread for Meriken's Tripcode Engine.
3.2.7 (May 29, 2016)
Improve build script. Prepare packages for Ubuntu and Arch Linux:

"Meriken's Tripcode Engine" is a cross-platform application
designed to generate custom/vanity tripcodes at maximum speed.
It is arguably the fastest and most powerful program of its kind.
(This program actually runs faster than the original mty or
MTY_CL on the same hardware!) It makes effecitive use of
available computing power of CPUs and GPUs, and the user
can specify flexible regex patterns for tripcodes. It features highly
optimized, extensively parallelized implementations of bitslice
DES and SHA-1 for OpenCL, AMD GCN, NVIDIA CUDA,
and Intel SSE2/AVX/AVX2.
"Meriken's Tripcode Engine" is free software, licensed
under GPLv3 and available for free download at the following link:

This is what my tripcode rig used to look like. I got lazy, I guess.
Anyway, installation on POSIX systems should be pretty painless now. It took me a while to figure out Ubuntu packaging, but I think it was worth the effort.
I guess I picked a wrong day to create a support thread... Oh well. I will still be around, though.
How well does this handle multiple GPUs?
And are GPUs the best way to generate trips or can ASIC device like what is used for bitcoin mining be used for generating tripodes?
>>54808618
At least the Windows version handles multiple GPUs quite well. My tripcode rig has 2 7990s and 2 290Xs. That's a total of 6 GPUs, and I get around 2.4G tripcode/s. The rig is pretty stable. When I'm busy, I just let it keep running for months.
>>54808618
I suppose you could develop a specialized ASIC for tripcode generation. I did look into that possibility, but I just didn't have enough money and time.
FPGAs would be a more realistic option cost-wise. I am not an expert in this matter, but performance should be pretty decent if you take advantage of 3/4/5 way lookup tables for bitwise logical operations. The hardest part would be to create S-boxes for these lookup tables.
So it seems that it's pretty quiet here on Sundays. Very interesting...
>>54809027
Very cool piece of software, that's all I have to say, thank you for sharing it.
>>54810901
No problem! I still have a lot of new ideas for tripping. I will keep you guys updated.
I just added CUDA-compatible versions to my Ubuntu PPA. Please see the GitHub page for details.

The best thing about 4chan is everyone is anonymous.
>>54807160
Ayyo 'hol up playa. You mean to tell me you got a fancy-dancy computing machine to make tripcodes on an image board that thrives on anonymity?
>>54811017
Just distilled water with a few drops of PT-Nuke. Looks pretty clear to me after a whole year.
>>54811190
I know I'm pretty far out there... Something about tripping fascinates me.
>>54807334
Stats on rig?
>>54811272
I honestly know nothing about it and that's why I opened the thread. I guess it interests me too. Any place I can read up on the basics of tripcodes and how it works?

I cannot think of any good introduction to tripping in English... I should probably write one myself.
>>54811531
I mean what hardware is it?
>>54811571
Yeah I already was reading that. Just wanted a bit more info in layman's. Maybe you should write up something talking about that computational complexity they were referring to

It's a tad old, but still works well.

Will do. This is technical yet accessible:

Oops, there was a bug in the POSIX version. I am fixing it right now...

Why hasn't anybody done this yet? I really want to do this.
>>54812428
I certainly don't want fish'es waste materials to come in contact with water blocks, but I would still want to see it very much.
Your program is awesome! But I wanna ask if the new gtx 1080/1070 cards are or will be compatible with this?
>>54812675
>gtx 1080/1070
The "normal" version of this program should be compatible with these new cards, and I will make sure to add binaries for these new cards to the NVIDIA-optimized version.

You just wasted probably a lot of hours of your life to get street cred on an anonymous board.
On a scale of 1-10, how much do you regret it
>>54813532
That's strange... It's working on my end.
