[LOCKED] cpuminer-opt v3.12.3, open source optimized multi-algo CPU miner

[zTheWolfz]

This is pretty much a full list of miners I've tested over time -some AMD and - the rest of the SP_mods. -10% that was deleted for being un-useful.

Sure can let me get to my other laptop where they are so I can be sure the version numbers I post are correct.

Forget the AMD stuff.

Thanks for the list. I have most of the cpuminers in there. I'll look around the net for a couple that I've never seen before.
It's a long shot but that's how I improved cpuminer, picking the best pieces of many miners.
If there's anything I can't find on my own I'll let you know.

On to release 3.0.

[zTheWolfz]

Good luck with the next release. As for the optinizedSoloMiner that is ProtoShares miner
I can't remember if it was both CPU & GPU or just for one or the other. I mined it for a short while.
Thanks for your hard work on this.

I've stopped going around in circles, a few issues are going to have to wait. Unfortunately
windows is still one of them. I have one more idea but it's going to be tedius so I need
a full charge before diving into that again.

I'm starting to ready v3.0 which will contain the new branding. v3.0 also includes more hash
rate increases, nothing spectacular but significant.

A few more algos are being supported and a few others have been enabled but not tested
or officially supported yet.

all supported algos have been tested and submit valid shares, unless otherwise noted. When
unsupported algos show up on pools I will test them and update their status.

Look for the details in the release announcement within the next 24 hrs.

Following v3.0 I will investigate optimizations in newly supported algos as well as optimizations
in the new algos that can be applied to existinng algos.

A code cleanup is also in the plan. The compile is getting very slow.

There is no timetable beyond v3.0, 3.0.1 will be released when there is a good reason for it.

I also have a special one time bonus offer. I have a copy of cpuminer-multi-argon2 by testzcrypto
and have boosted the hash rate 20%. I'm having problems integrating it into cpuminer-opt
so I am willing to release a standalone optimized version. A windows verison should aslo be available
though I haven't actually tested it yet.

If anyone wants this speak up. I'm only doing this once as I have no intentions of forking, but I will
continue to try to integrate argon2 into cpuminer multi.

Thanks for your efforts.
But testzcrypto version is not the fastest publicly available Argon2 miner.

Do you mean OPES? Found it, will follow up. Looks like a fork of testzcrypto.

Thanks for the tip and for following.

Considering some of the other algos I'm improving are so mature it was refreshing to
be on the leading edge, even if only briefly.

I noticed it includes scrypt-jane (as does testzcrypto). I don't know if it's suitable as a
standalone algo but I might get around to trying.

3.0 coming within a couple of hours, just tidying up the rel ann.

I'd be interested, please PM me a link.
Also can't wait to test 3.0. Will be on the lookout for your update.
Thanks

I'm mining scrypt-jane on all my CPU's so it would be very interesting to see the boost
and maybe have a windows version since all my rigs are on W7 at this time, 1 with W10.

cpuminer-opt v3.0 just released. Download it here:

What are you using to mine sj? I'm a scrounge, can't help it.

What ever comes in the NiceHashMiner_v1.2.2.2\bin package. Haven't noted the version or who built it.
Edit: cpuminer-muti 1.1

Some quick numbers I got from this on a Intel 980X CPU.
Command line used: 10 cores
cpuminer-sse2.exe -a lyra2re -o stratum+tcp://lyra2re.jp.nicehash.com:3342 -u 18tvS3deKZK5q4eTtPRWYeEMWmGmuErHgz.980x -p  x -t 10



Edit: Going by this I didn't see scrypt-Jane as a option?

Maybe it was ccminer or a special version of cpu-miner-multi. I'll look for the source, I think everything
is open over there.

Thanks for the heads up on lyra2, I thought it was dead. Will update the chart with the current numbers (mine that is)

Edit: what did you use for lyra2? It seems to be broken on cpuminer-opt.

Edit: it works in cpuminer-multi 1.2pre so I must have broken it. Something else to do.

[joblo]

However while testing I found lyra2v2 to be working well, 4/4 so far.
I'll update the performance charts.

Edit: 47/47 accepts @ 469kh/s. It's officially supported in v3.0 and the most important missing algo, imo.

Looking great there. I'm about to try to compile v3.0 for testing. Will post once I have some results.

stop. 3.0.1 on the way, fixed lyra2. check for update in OP.

[joblo]

cpuminer v3.0.1 available for download. Fixed lyra2, now supported. No other
changes.

Too late   now that I have it all setup there's nothing to it.
Cool will DL 3.0.1 now and run some new test.
 Thanks for the heads up.

Edit: did you miss adding the .1 to the new download?
The download says 3.0 so I was unsure if I was downloading the 3.0.1v or the 3.0.0v.
