Do you think is possible to make Lyra2RE to mine on AVX2? That will compete with the newest Nvidia cards.
Anything is possible but it would take a complete redesign of the miner engine and every algorithm to be able to process
multiple streams per thread to achieve parallelism. Each CPU thread would process multiple streams in parallel
instead of just one. Hodl was unique in that it lends itself to parallel processing within a single thread so it didn't
require a major design change.
The effort required would outweigh any benefits.
BTW, do you know which coin uses Lyra2RE?
There is Crypto [CTO], but Nice Hash seems to mine something else that have a different block number and higher difficulty. The other day their GUI was showing me 90 cents at .730 MH/s, today shows 41 cents.
