Title: Need help from a C programmer to optimize cpuminer
Post by: AlexGR on November 28, 2013, 02:38:12 PM
Hi, I need help from a C programmer to try and optimize Pooler's cpuminer through the compiler, as my C knowledge fails me.

At the moment there is an embedded ASM optimization that is activated by IFs in the program. While these ASM optimizations provide a decent increase in speed, I need to shut these down so that I can compile this through various C compilers that can -perhaps- go faster still, hopefully without breaking the program. So what I want is step-by-step instructions on how to shut these ASM optimizations down. The target is an intel x64 (core2).
