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

[joblo]

Preliminary results:

Ryzen 1700X @ stock settings with 8 threads set in the batch file.

Lyra2v2 = 1001 Kh/s on avx2
             = 1016 Kh/s on avx
Timetravel = 799 Kh/s on avx2
                = 843 Kh/s on avx
X11          = 686 Kh/s on avx2
                = 711 Kh/s on avx
X17          = 294 Kh/s on avx2
                = 294 Kh/s on avx

X17 was the same for both options, but I was surprised to see avx beating avx2 for the other algorithms tested. My understanding was that it would likely be the other way around....

Disappointing results. AVX2 provides 256 bit vectors vs 128 bit for AVX. Ignoring any memory accesses the AVX2
code uses half the instructions to do the same processing so should be twice as fast.

Most of the AVX2 code is in the x11 chain so it should see a bigger difference than x17.

I had heard that Ryzen had a "faked" AVX2 and your test seems to prove it and that it performs worse than AVX.
I was concerned it wouldn't be any faster than AVX but never considered that it would be slower.
The only reason I can think of to include it is for compatibility with any hard coded AVX2. IMO they should have
left it out.

It appears that AVX2 should continue to be avoided on AMD CPUs.

Thanks for testing.

Any thoughts on AMD Threadripper for mining?

Any thoughts on AMD Threadripper for mining?

It should be the equivalent of 2 Ryzen 1700X or 1800X CPUs, so a pretty darned good miner if you can afford the price.

An advertised feature of Ryzen PRO is "Built-in AES 128-bit Encryption engine" which I wonder if it will benefit mining.

Looking for Ryzen owners to test SHA acceleration.

Ryzen CPUs have HW accelerated SHA, something Intel's mainstream CPUs won't have until Cannonlake.

Requirements:
  Ryzen CPU
  Linux
  Compiler version with support for sha
  Openssl development package with support for sha
  Cpuminer-opt source code with support for sha

I can provide the last one. GCC is supposed to have support for -msha starting in v 5, and Openssl added support in 2014
so both should be available in Ubuntu 16.04.

The following algos use sha256 and should benefit from HW acceleration: sha256t, lbry, skein, myr-groestl, m7m.

Intel J3455 ASRock J3455M with 1866 memory dual channel

lbry         Total: 5287.13 kH, 1341.57 kH/s, 43C
sha256t      Total: 4643.44 kH, 6343.56 kH/s, 42C
skein         Total: 15.05 MH, 3223.62 kH/s, 45C

Thanks but that CPU doesn't have HW SHA. This information is displayed
when the program starts.

Compiling is still the biggest challenge to using SHA. Few Linux distros include openssl 1.1 which added SHA support.

That's very interesting. SHA is not mentioned here...

https://ark.intel.com/products/95594/Intel-Celeron-Processor-J3455-2M-Cache-up-to-2_3-GHz

But here it is...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldmont

OK so you have a Goldmont and it is the only Intel CPU to support SHA at this time.

It looks like all the boxes are checked, CPU, compiler, build and algo. The only question seems to be
the version of openssl. Cpuminer doesn't check the version but it needs to be 1.1 to have HW SHA support.
The only way to be sure is to compare the hash rate with a non-SHA compile.

Edit: strictly speaking, when cpuminer says it's mining with SHA it means it is using the openssl version
instead of its own SW version, but it's no guarantee that openssl is using the HW SHA instructions.

Which package needs to version 1.1?
libssl-dev or libcurl4-openssl-dev?

I have Ubuntu 16.04

How do I compile without SHA?

I thought the hash rate was pretty good for a 10w CPU.

I just enjoy playing, not any profit really.

libssl-dev 1.1 is needed but Ubuntu 16.04 has 1.0.2. None of the major distributions seem to have it yet.

How did you compile, did you change any options or just use the build script?
The option to add sha is "-msha" but the default compile probably includes it.
You might have to do something like "-maes -mavx" "-maes -msse4.2" instead
of the default "-march=native" to compile without sha.

Edit: correction, Goldmont doesn't have AVX.

I used the ./build.sh script to compile with HW SHA enabled and libssl-dev 1.0.2g-1ubuntu4.6 installed.

It is slower without the HW SHA.

I just enjoy playing, not any profit really.

libssl-dev 1.1 is needed but Ubuntu 16.04 has 1.0.2. None of the major distributions seem to have it yet.

How did you compile, did you change any options or just use the build script?
The option to add sha is "-msha" but the default compile probably includes it.
You might have to do something like "-maes -mavx" "-maes -msse4.2" instead
of the default "-march=native" to compile without sha.

Edit: correction, Goldmont doesn't have AVX.

I used the ./build.sh script to compile with HW SHA enabled and libssl-dev 1.0.2g-1ubuntu4.6 installed.

It is slower without the HW SHA.

That's a pretty big difference, big enough to convince me. Maybe SHA was back ported to some later 1.0 releases.
That's great if Ubuntu 16.04 etc have full support already.

Good work.

Which package needs to version 1.1?
libssl-dev or libcurl4-openssl-dev?

I have Ubuntu 16.04

How do I compile without SHA?

I thought the hash rate was pretty good for a 10w CPU.
