Hahaha
I wish those would work, there are some banger deals on ebay and aliexpress as well

Thanks yeah i can def. take a look at that!

This is the first FPGA of many that will form a cluster to mine the longest running patterns on the 16x16. This board alone can evaluate over 170M boards/s which is about 4-5x my rtx4070 and 10x of the prev. FGPA miner.
Over the next weeks it will get a proper rack, psu and reciver board, so its not ...

The next question is, what is the actual limit with those?
Edit: phnx really opened pandoras box here xd

Lol quickly fill it up before its patched xd
I made a thingy to detect duplicate boards even if rotated or shifted and be more than happy if hash0 implements that on his registry.
This would also help the battles to avoid duplicates of the winners competing against each other.

pff the new rule set has us sweating as well. its hard to find extraordinary boards!
which is a good thing...

We here at conwaylife forums would love to know the specs of this :wink:

Well ofc, here are the specs of the current config, it will be filled with more boards and pcs as time goes on.

That is dope! How well is it performing compared to your prev setup?

The rack is serving for all my compute and storage needs, not just for GOL and far from finished lol.

An official API would be the best middle ground. People with external miners can easily use it, and people mining via the website won’t even find a pattern this high to have to wait minutes.

well, with so many new slots to fill we need to submit a ton of new patterns

Def. worth a try. If i am not mistaken there is a database of the known patterns, taking those and scattering them on the board might work. I will give that a try today

We might be reaching a limit on whats possible on the 16x16 with the current miners. Finding the 2300+ took a really long time.

Whilst mining for this i have found the currently longest running non agar submitted to the Registry, with a runtime of 2382. This is almost 100 iterations more than my prev. record holder:
Fifty Trillion
x = 16, y = 16, rule = B3/S23:T16,16

Can you check if it works for you and if speed improvements are visible on your hardware as well?

It does work yes! Ive reran the old one then the current version and was able to get a performance increase of 18.75%. Good Job!

Vort wrote: August 8th, 2026, 9:40 am On GPU cores of my i5-4690 (TorusLifeCL16 gpu), it gets 385 KP/s. On single CPU core (TorusLifeCL16 cpu 25) - 39 KP/s.

Super cool miner! On my rtx4070 its 17MP/s

@ bobinou , whay are you not submitting results from your database?
For example, 2269 lifespan 62 pop.





Hi there :)
thats a good point, i will do that! It wont be many patterns though, as the current miner is rolling them in the 25%-75% starting range.
And just noticed the fpga broke down ...

The 10^12 visited hashes have been surpassed

Nice result!
I wonder, however, why this pattern is so dense.
Did you tried to make searches with other, lower, densities?
If I remember correctly, 35% gives the best results.


Thank you, simply because I naively gave each field a 50% chance of being populated. But good point! I will give it a ...

I am opening the Alpha version of the new engine to the public:

Upon loading the website, you have to select two Glyphs to compete by clicking the two "[LOAD]" buttons.

I find the "256 Rounds" mode (which is sped up) especially useful to gauge statistical ...

Quick update on the best runs found so far:
After 150B runs, the best non-repeating is at 2154.

NLK05, I'm very interested on hearing more about your approach, because my current miner is a CPU only cpp implementation. I made a CUDA-based version for hash0's daily conway challenge, as hashing Suite 8+ scales better on GPUs (hitting about 700M hashes/s). However, I haven't managed to compute ...

Found the 2000+ patters after about 7 billion. In total it has been about 32 billion, 20 of them are visible on the website. I have a miner running 24/7 on a small raspberry pi like pc which runs at 100k iterations per second. From time to time it runs on my pc at about 2M/s, which will be apparent ...

I made a quick, simple website to visualize the distribution and findings of my miner for anyone who is interested! :)
https://hallucinat.in/
Some interesting patterns are showing up - either Agar patterns above 5400 or quite a few in the 2000s range.
If needed i can also provide a open API access ...

I can open source it after a bit of polishing for anyone who is interested
That record will be broken ^^

Hello everyone :)
