Hi Joblo! 3.7.8 avx-sha is better than ever! Im mining m7m algo, but I mine with both GPUs and Ryzen. The 16thread mining are slowing down the GPUs mining. How could I set CPU affinity for all threads but CPU0 (or threads 0 and 1)? I searched for an option to do it, but I havent found nothing ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) EDIT:' I found it: https://phempshall.github.io/cpuminer-affinity-setter/works ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) i wanna ask, for ryzen 7 do you use --cpu-affinity 255 --cpu-priority 4? or --cpu-affinity 255 --cpu-priority 2 what's different?

First use hex because it's easier to map the bits to cores. 255 = 0x00ff = 0b0000000011111111 Only 8 bits/cores for 16 threads? My previous post showed how to run 14 miner threads leaving one core (2 threads) free. Some users when mining 8 threads have reported better performance with affinity 0x5555. Second, priority isn't very useful unless you're also running background tasks and want to prioritize between them and mining.

Now that m7m is back (hashrefinery), some m7m numbers for cpuminer-opt v3.7.8v2 (maybe should call it 3.7.8.1, lol).
Ryzen Threadripper 1950X @ 3.7 GHz
sse2 545 kH/s
avx-sha 565 kH/s
4way-sha 545 kH/s
aes-avx 550 kH/s
aes-avx2 535 kH/s
aes-sse42 516 kH/s
sse42 580 kH/s

Those results are very suspicious, Particularly the fastest is sse42 and the slowest is aes-sse42.There is no aes in m7m so they should be identical. Also the sha builds are not significantly faster than the equivalent non-sha, but are significantly slower than sse42. I don't know why but I don't think it's due to mislabeled files.

Probably due to background processes? This *is* Windows we're talking about. The first time I ran aes-sha I got 607 kH/s, but I could never reproduce it. Ran for a few minutes for each executable.

I'm trying to run lyraZ2 on an i7-7820X with 4way, avxSha, and 4waysha. using version 3.7.8 and win10
i get constant rejects from the pool "reject reason: low difficulty share of 0.000005" or smaller from miningpoolhub
cpu is hashing at 1.3MH/s
i tried to manually lower the difficulty to d=0.01 but didn't seem to take it.
any suggestions?

Perfect! CPUMINER now is more and more stronger. I will test it with YTN mining.

You didn't actually show the error but Centos6 is too old.

-t 14 --cpu-affinity 0xfffd should mine on logical cores 2 through 15 leaving cores 0 & 1 free. But I'm not sure threads 0 & 1 are mapped to the same physical core. You might have to play with the affinity mask to isolate 2 threads on the same physical core. Other possibilities include 0xfefe (threads 0 & ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) and 0xffee (threads 0 & 4). I can't think of any other way they could be mapped. Please let us know which one works. For all: as well as using https://phempshall.github.io/cpuminer-affinity-setter/ you may use this affinity calculator: http://www.gatwick-fsg.org.uk/affinitymask.aspxIf you want to isolate virtual cores on physical cores, you may use (I do) this old tool: https://developer.amd.com/resources/articles-whitepapers/processor-and-core-enumeration-using-cpuid/So, download coreenumcodesample.zip out there, unzip, create bat file to launch: enum.exe -more pause You will get the info - which cores are physical, and which ones are virtual. This info is very useful for HT cpus. Note: I have never tested it on AMD cpus, but works ok for skylake/kaby lake/haswell/ivy bridge/skylake-x/broadwell-ep. joblo may attach these tools to the 1st post (in a smaller size i guess) so everybody could know.

As an example which cores are used with affinity= 43690? If you think it's running well with 16 threads and affinity 255 then you don't understand, That's only 8 cores for 16 threads meaning you have 8 cores idle and 8 cores with 2 threads each. The rejects and the share flood are pool issues.

Hi. I tried multiple times to use the API feature but I think I didn't get how it works. I tried to open in Chrome http://127.0.0.1:4048 but I received "ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE", same if I try http://127.0.0.1:4048/apiI also tried with telnet 127.0.0.1 4048 but I don't receive any response there as well. I am using the release version for Windows x64 3.7.8

cpuminer-opt-3.7.9 Partial 4way optimizations for veltor, skunk, polytimos, lyra2z. Additional 4way optimizations for X algos. New algo yescryptr8 for BitZeny, not to be confused with original yescrypt Globalboost-Y. https://github.com/JayDDee/cpuminer-opt/releases/tag/v3.7.9This release marks a milestone for cpuminer-opt. All 11 functions of x11 are now optimized. 5 have 4-way AVX2, 2 have serial AVX2, 3 have AES & SSE2 and 1 has only SSE2.

I saw less than 1% improvement on i7-6700K.
