NeoScrypt has become more profitable recently. I notice that when I launch Neoscrypt algorithm with CPUminer-OPT that it is only optimized with SSE2. Are there any plans to improve the code with more recent (AVX and later) optimizations? --scryptr
It uses a lot of Intel ASM, beyond my current skill set. I need to master the concepts
of vector programming and the associated Intel intrinsic functions before I start trying to learn ASM.
I need to do all that before I know if there are any improvements to be made to neoscrypt.
Since neoscrypt already contains SIMD instructions implementing 4-way would be double
the work for only half the improvement. I explained that issue for Lyra2 a couple of pages back.
Short answer, no.
