Wolf's XMR/BCN/DSH CPUMiner - 2x speed compared to LucasJones' - NEW 06/20/2014

[Wolf0]

NaN.

[QuadraQ]

I can confirm there is indeed a speed improvement. Tested on one machine with an Intel i5 2320 running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

Using Lucas build: 76-88 H/s averaging about 79/80
Wolf 5/29 build: 90-99 H/s averaging about 93/94
Wolf 5/30 build: 87-96 H/s averaging about 91/92

Hello,
thx for your miner working nice on my i3 4130 on win8 64bit
i go from 65 h/s to 80h/s  it's about +20%

I like it 

cheers

Build from 30.05 seems to be as fast as 29-05. Maybe slightly faster. but the diff is small, like 47 per thread to 47.5 on i5-2500

How can I set thread count?

on A8-5600 it starts 3 threads and I get a total of 42 H/s (approx 14 per thread)

Who can successfully build on OSX?
I got:
 ./configure: line 5666: syntax error near unexpected token `,'
./configure: line 5666: `LIBCURL_CHECK_CONFIG(, 7.15.2, ,'

when running configure

[vokain]

So I can just type this in terminal and it'll update?

cd ~/ && rm -rf cpuminer && mkdir cpuminer && cd cpuminer && git clone http://github.com/wolf9466/cpuminer-multi.git && pushd cpuminer-multi && cd ~/cpuminer/cpuminer-multi && ./autogen.sh && export CFLAGS="-march=native"  && ./configure && make && unset CLFAGS && popd

got a cpuminer solution for 32 bit comp?

At least for Intel CPUs, running (cores -1) threads gives best speed
Otherwise with -t x, as in most cpu miners

Win64 binaries exist but require AES-NI.

If I compile from source should I be able to run it on a processor without AES-NI then?  I compiled it successfully in an Virtualbox Ubuntu 13.04 virtual machine (on a Win 7 host without AES-NI), but get:

Code:

[2014-05-31 09:46:38] Using JSON-RPC 2.0
[2014-05-31 09:46:38] 2 miner threads started, using 'cryptonight' algorithm.
Illegal instruction (core dumped)

upon starting up the miner.

upon starting up the miner.

That error is probably indicating that it is still trying to use AES-NI. Code changes might be required.

I'm not getting anywhere near the speed improvement wolf claims, but it is an improvement.

CryptoNight the PoW-algo is announced as 64-bit only.

Maybe someone more knowledge than me, will tell you, if this true and gonna stay way (or 32-bit CryptoNight miners are possible with dirty hack or something).

Is there a reason why you didn't edit out the furry images?

[MadGhost]

Thanks for the miner . I will try it and post my results .

[vokain]

'let your freak flag fly'?

i.e. be cool, don't let other people tell you how to live, and do your own thing

Hey look, if he's trying to imply he is homosexual, I am fine with that, but those images weren't really necessary for the miner screenshots.

yeah I do have to agree, nah they weren't necessary

but like you kinda said, I'm fine with self-expression, and I might argue that that is more right than not expressing oneself

[QuadraQ]

I was trying to send a donation for your work, but I guess I need payment ID.

I had been up for four days straight reading and writing code - at that point I just didn't care

grateful for your pioneering work wolfie! my mining pool hashrate reflects my hashrate on a 4770k as much faster. Consistently 200H/s+ instead of often lingering in the 100s

Configure with --disable-aes-ni

Thank you.  That worked. 

Without AES-NI available to me on this machine, I get a slower hash rate with your miner compared to the Lucas Jones miner.  I'm sure this comes as no surprise, since you have been optimizing for AES-NI.  Inside my virtual machine, per core, I get about 11 H/s with yours, and about 18.5 H/s with Lucas Jones.
