Topic: [ANN]: cpuminer-opt v3.8.8.1, open source optimized multi-algo CPU miner - page 13. (Read 444067 times)

Wonderful, thank you!

"cpuminer -h" will list all options
"cpuminer -t" will set number of threads

Hi there,

Is there an argument to specify the number of threads to use? Or is there documentation on available arguments that I didn't find?

hi joblo,.

can you added new algo argon2id to cpu-opt ?

i hope u can help


thank you

Thanks, but neither is cpuminer compatible. Both are written in an OO language I'm not
famliar with. I'd have to learn either PHP or Java before I could determine if I could
convert it to cpuminer compatible C.

That would be nice, Arionum is getting some traction now, CPU only coin (almost, but algo revision made GPU's fairly inefficient), and I guess the existing miners aren't too much optimized. It uses AVX2 tough.

The proof of concept:
https://github.com/arionum/miner

The miner already has both argon2i code and sha512 code but there are some issues.

First the Argon2i version is currently untested although I see no reason it shounldn't work.
Second I need Aronium's Argon2i parameters. They can be obtained from a spec or sample
code.

Additionally there are differences in the implementations or Argon2 and Sha512 that need to be
resolved. Argon2 uses linear vectors while sha512 uses parallel vectors. Without going into technical
detail, this complicates the implementation of an algo that uses both.

With all that it should be doable.

Thank you very much for the donation, every little bit helps.

Could it be configured to run Argon2i + SHA512 (Arionum)?

It would be fair miners like us help you by funding buying a X299 platform...
I am using your miner since 1 year, half time (half mining aeon with xmr-stack) with a xeon 2696V4 and I have just switch to an i9 7960x.
I have just sent some mbtc.

There have been many requsets for algos lately, curiously none of them have any helpful info.
This makes it very difficult and time consuming for me to try to find the info needed to implement them.

I spent way too much time trying to figure out the cryptonightv7 implementation and I don't care to
do that for every new algo. I do not demand a fee but I expect those making requests to do their part to
make it as easy as possible for me.

Any request must be accompanied by either a cpuminer compatible example or a detailed
specification for the algo, preferably both.

Any request with insufficient information will be ignored.

Even with proper info I have no desire to just keep up with the competition. If  I can't make it faster
I'm not really interested. I made an exception for cryptonightV7 because it restored functionality that was lost.
New algos usually have only one coin using it which also reduces my interest in supporting them. In other words
I need to be convinced.

As far as AVX512 goes, I need an AVX512 capable CPU and they aren't cheap. Mainstream AVX512 support
is supposed to be available with Cannonlake but it appears it will be delayed yet again. The next generation
of Intel CPUs is rumoured to be a Coffeelake refresh. So no reasonably priced AVX512 CPUs anytime soon.

dev add algo cryptonight-heavy & cryptonight-variant please?

Is it difficult to add avx512 support for win?

please add vitality algo also

dev, can you add algo cryptonight-heavy & cryptonight-variant please?

Do you think you will add cryptonight-heavy to the miner? Several coins have HFed into that Algo

Which command to change the intensity?

The algo doesn't.

CPU: Genuine Intel(R) CPU 0000 @ 2.10GHz.
SW built on Apr  1 2018 with GCC 5.4.0.
CPU features: SSE2 AES SSE4.2 AVX AVX2.
SW features: SSE2 AES SSE4.2 AVX AVX2.
Algo features: SSE2 SHA.
Start mining with SSE2.

My CPU is playing SSE2. Instruction set mining?
But my CPU supports AVX2

Thanks for help now at least I no where to start I no my cpu never gets hot I have good cooling and its on my gpu miner so its open air also it just drives me crazy every time I look at it and see 0
