Is miner performance upgrade processor family independent?

Is miner performance upgrade processor family independent?

Yes. But some systems would see larger increase of primespersec over v0.1.0.

Awesome! Linux binaries soon? (Compiled on Ubuntu great, CentOS is a nightmare, and all of my servers take forever to resolve dependencies and such xD)

That sounds great! And I agree that building it yourself can be a mess

My AMD Win 7 x64 machines (quad and hex-core) still run faster on the latest x64 hack build from alternative build thread but my i7 got a 25% boost over previous builds.

[notlist3d]

Thank you!  My I7 got quite the boost.

[duke1839]

Thank you.  I got a twofold boost in mining performance.

Updated to v0.1.1 and saw a big improvement in pps.
I was getting ~400 pps on v0.1.0 now getting ~570pps.
50% load on an Intel Xeon E5-1620 using setgenerate 4.

We've now got about 60 VMs mining PrimeCoin!

Do you have any idea when it will launch on an exchange, and which one first?

Wow. That's a lot, what kind of pps are you getting? I'm only getting about 8000pps on my 5 systems running it (3 vm, 2 physical).

[Zalfrin]

Thanks for releasing this Sunny. 

[maco]

Thanks Sunny.

I am going to be testing this out, and will post results as they come in.
