It's fully utilizing the cores (minus one for some reason... maybe the scheduler thread is included in the thread limit?) so I can't see a huge gain other than running it on bare metal.

The opteron cores are not as efficient per ghz as the haswells. The only advantage is that you have physical cores without any hyperthreading. I'll try and compile the miner on 12.04 to run it on bare metal and see what/if any advantages are seen vs running it kvm with cpu passthrough.

The server is about $3300, so it's not exactly cost effective. Just fun to see.

edit: just noticed the instructions to install it on 12.04, derp.

Is that the 16 core Intel system or the AMD 48 core?

methinks its the Opteron machine.

Wolf0, thanks for sharing. I should not be surprised that the coder of the miner is very effective at managing his rented rigs, and I am not really, but I gotta say that your ~64 h/s/core is quite impressive on the c3.8xlarge instances.

Actually, I can get 70H/s/core on c3.8xlarge, 64H/s/core is just with this miner...

hi, i wanna make the command start on boot, anyone know how to do it? im using ubuntu 16.04 vps Huh

Study up on /etc/rc.local if that is an available option on your VPS. Might take a few tries to get your commands and options right for your config, but that's the ticket. Make sure your machine has L3 cache of a decent amount. Use a pool regardless, will help you no matter your goal, accumulate or sell periodically. Especial XMR in my experience, XMR is a helluva intensive algorithm.

If you have 2 meg L3 cache or less allocated you may as well piss in the wind if you don't have a dedicated machine leased. or make a serious monthly financial investment in a badass VPS where your cache and crypto functions built into the processor. Each XMR thread needs 2 MB by design for max efficiency. Anything less is a joke.

That said, even if you have low L3 cache (2MB or greater it can be a bit of fun if you enjoy computer slaves. Never know what the future holds.

the normal cpuminer was possible to compile but i want to test x11 mining so why i cant compile this one ?

kind regards

Hi,

How do you get this to work on Nicehash for cryptonight? Does it even work?

Code in run file:

cpuminer-gw64-corei7 -a timetravel -o stratum+tcp://cryptonight.eu.nicehash.com:3355 -u 1jUhyi9BophBSWjjQDSzmnfru41WzezCa -p x

OK. What instance type did you get 1030 hash/sec on 16 cores?

The only instance type with 16 cores that's meant for compute. c3.8xlarge.

1600 H/s:

4x Opteron 6344 (48 physical cores @ 2.6ghz static)
64G ram (12x4GB ddr3-
14.04, built from wolf's git source

inside KVM with cpu-passthrough (couldn't get it to run on 12.04 which is host's bare metal OS, could potentially be faster)
sysctl -w vm.nr_hugepages=144

pool reporting > 2kh, miner at 1600-1650kh/s.

Could probably get better performance by a) running it on baremetal, b) using numactl and a better task scheduler.

I hit 1030 or so with 23 threads on AWS - you probably need to reduce your thread count.

Wolf, why would he want to REDUCE his hashrate?

He reports 1600 hash/sec and you report 1030. Huh

Because he has 48 physical cores, I had 16.

OK. What AWS instance type has Opterons?

None, but I doubt that 16 Intel cores would get 55% of the hash that 48 AMD cores get, assuming the Opterons are reasonably new and support AES-NI.

from my expirance the best one ist claymore 3.5 beta for CPU Monero mining. Really stable hashrate comparing to wolfs cpu miner and better hashrats at all (around 5% more than with the wolfs cpu miner).
The only thing I'm missing there is the remote API stuff which one is included in the Claymore GPU Miner (which one I'm using as well for mining monero). But maybe this will come with the next update from the CPU miner (I do hope so Cheesy

)

Where to get Win32 and 64 +AES and -AES binaries of Wolf's miner ? Links in the first post are broken (((

BTW : What is the best miner today for CryptoNight CPU mining ?

I too would love to know what the best CPU XMR miner is.. Wolf? Claymore? I've got a few machines I'd like to power up.
