I'm finally building the windows binaries of the new CPU-miner. After that I'll try to improve the performances
.
Ok, here the link for the Windows binaries ->
https://mega.co.nz/#!pBZzQAII!yuvzhcnx3ezLre9fek_G67D0_IyiNqIbEHKY4cKdovARead the README for choose the right version for your processor.
Remember, only Windows 64 bit, and only for processors that supports at least AES-NI instructions.
P.S. I hate and I still hate compiling binaries on MinGW, I spent 2 days to set a working crosscompiling environment for this.
The problem was that new versions of build of MinGW64 have a gcc that is hard linked with a new pthread library, called libwinpthread, that it's not good for compiling this... thanks to ig0tik3d for pointing to me the working version of MinGW64...
Very Nice!
I tried to compile it yesterday for windows and I usually can figure things out...but I spent like 4-5 hrs with no luck
Cherry picking some data without waiting to long. Win7/64 i74930 @ 4.5
Old 1.2c = all threads ~700kh half threads ~560kh
i7 avx-i = all threads ~880kh +25%+ (somehow bounced to 915kh for a while once) Half threads ~700h +25% (lower power and significantly cooler)
i7-avx = ~880kh +25%
avx-aes-sse2-sss3 = ~880kh +25%
aes-sse2-sss3 = ~820kh +17%
Personally I like the half thread option, it performs faster than the previous version 1.2c all threads. The machine is then still usable and cooler. I don't really care about power draw.
CPU mining is still fine with dark I think, that being said.... CPU mining only people are the biggest bunch of crybabies ever.. I wish there was an ignore button for them.
You deserve a tip.
