"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.
Owen Bennett
I guess I picked a wrong day to create a support thread... Oh well. I will still be around, though.
Jonathan Price
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?
Ethan Allen
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.
John Hughes
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.
Hunter White
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...
Cameron Mitchell
Very cool piece of software, that's all I have to say, thank you for sharing it.
Landon Baker
No problem! I still have a lot of new ideas for tripping. I will keep you guys updated.
Julian Garcia
I just added CUDA-compatible versions to my Ubuntu PPA. Please see the GitHub page for details.

What do you use for cooling liquid? Babby oil?

The best thing about Sup Forums is everyone is anonymous.
Lincoln Garcia
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?
Adam Kelly
Just distilled water with a few drops of PT-Nuke. Looks pretty clear to me after a whole year.
Ethan Murphy
I know I'm pretty far out there... Something about tripping fascinates me.
Jeremiah Phillips
Stats on rig?
Colton Wood
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.
Andrew Davis
I mean what hardware is it?
Andrew Powell
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

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.
Jayden Williams
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.
James Nguyen
Your program is awesome! But I wanna ask if the new gtx 1080/1070 cards are or will be compatible with this?
Julian Bailey
>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.
Owen Ross
Launchpad link is broken
Hunter Perry
You just wasted probably a lot of hours of your life to get street cred on an anonymous board.
