Ufasoft Miner - Windows/Linux, x86/x64, SSE2/OpenCL, Open Source

Yes, some improvement for CPU can be made only for:
1. x64 because it has more registers.
2. CPUs with AVX

Nice! So Sandy Bridge CPUs should provider better performance..assuming that your miner will be updated to support AVX.

Bad news for Everyone:
Intel AVX Extensions don't promote "vector integer" operations to 256-bit registers. They doubled performance only for Floating Point operations. So AVX practically useless for Mining.
Some improvement can be made by using higher 128-bit part of YMM registers as additional register space only.

What about Bulldozer? AMD plans to move floating point to the integrated GPU anyway, maybe Bulldozer has better integer performance?

[shivansps]

Maybe you whould be better in focusing on APUs?? so the miner can work both on CPU and integrated gpu at the same time?

Thanks so much for this. Improved my hash rate by at least 50% across all my miners. Glad someone's still working on optimizing code for us slow (and cheapass) miners

I think I just passed 400Mhash/s...

Whoa, nice! You must have a tons of CPU miners running to get that kind of performance!

[anisoptera]

Yeah, I have a lot of idle CPUs. Well, they aren't idle anymore.

If only it had been this easy to deploy distributed miners a year ago. I'd have an obscene amount of BTC...

[Alex Beckenham]

Thanks I was looking for this, but it will help even more if you tell me how you made it print that info. I tried bitcoin-miner /? with no luck.

Code:

bitcoin-miner -h

And are you supposed to use Crtl-C to quit? That's all I could find that worked.

Anyway I tried deepbit on my puny desktop and got 0.01 btc in 24 hours, woooo!  6.25 MHash/s

Experiment officially over.

By some way you are compiling ELF-file (.o) instead of .asm. It is stange. Please look at generated Makefile

_rotr is a "shift-right" bit operation
Just change "_rotr(v,n)" to "v >> n"
and there you are.

No, ROTR is cyclic right shift. There are no such operation in C language.
_rotr intrinsic function available on GCC 4.5 for Intel x86/x64 platform.

No, ROTR is cyclic right shift. There are no such operation in C language.

For those of you on Linux encountering this problem, configure with CC=gcc-4.5 and CXX=g++-4.5

For example,
CC=gcc-4.5 CXX=g++-4.5 ./configure ...[rest goes here]...

You will need to install gcc and g++ 4.5 for this to work, and you should be able to confirm the right gcc used in compile output scrolling by.

Having some trouble compiling this on Ubuntu 11.04 x64:

Code:

sha256sse.asm(48) : Error A2091: Language type must be specified
sha256sse.asm(314) : Error A2142: Unmatched block nesting: CalcSha256Sse
sha256sse.asm: 316 lines, 1 passes, 0 ms, 0 warnings, 2 errors
make: *** [sha256sse.o] Error 1

I checked the sha256sse.asm file and found that a language type was declared on x86, but not on x64. I removed the if statement, and did the same on the other ASM file, which allows it to compile but then I get "error 80004001" if I try to use it. Obviously the language type isn't declared on x64 for a reason, but I'm just not certain what it should be on x64 (since it obviously has to be something).

This also happened with the latest version of JWASM - I'm using the older one since that's what most others here are using though.

Thanks in advance!

Any chance for some support for SSH Tunnels or SOCKS proxy?

[winnetou]

LOL this miner runs times better in my Win7 VM than my native official client on Mac OS. Is there a way to run it native on Mac OS?

[fix]

Error 80004001 for me, too. What does it mean?

thanks!

[jkminkov]

for proxy try with Proxifier

Thanks, this was helpful, it compiled, but when i run it, it does nothing.

The following is what i've done so far,

Code:

sudo aptitude install gcc-4.5
sudo aptitude install g++-4.5
sudo cp JWASM /usr/bin/jwasm
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/jwasm
sudo aptitude install libpcre++-dev
sudo aptitude install libcurl4-dev
CC=gcc-4.5 CXX=g++-4.5 ./configure
make
