New YAM version release

[Delinquency]

YAM does not work for me, can someone help me? I always get "illegal hardware instruction" error:

Code Select Expand

Mining Params OK
Checking MMC Stage 1 optimizations compatibility...
Checking MMC Stage 2 optimizations compatibility...
zsh: illegal hardware instruction  ./yam -c yam-mmc.cfg
Of course I have tried different versions:
yam-yvg1900-M7v-linux64-generic.tgz
yam-yvg1900-M7v-linux64-core2.tgz
yam-yvg1900-M7v-linux64-nehalem.tgz
But all them give exactly the same error. My CPU is Intel Xeon [email protected] (4 cores, 8 hardware threads). Do any of the Linux binaries work for anybody? It feels like all files are compiled for much newer architecture than advertised...

That processor does NOT support AES-NI.

You could try mining with AES-NI off.

hi,
Is it possible to mine Ducknote(xdn) whith yam on minergate pool?

[Delinquency]

IDK about sandy-bridge E, you should try the other architecture like generic or ivy bridge to see if they work out.

hi
i hav core i7 3930k with asus  rampage exterme iv with 16gb ram and download yam-yvg1900-M7v-win64-sandy-bridge (win 7)

configure my file

batchfile y.bat
yam.exe --config yam-mmc.cfg

and

yam-mmc.cfg

threads = 8
mining-params = mmc:av=1&aesni=on&m=4096
mine = getwork://[email protected]:80:8880:8881:8882:8883/mmc
mine = getwork://[email protected]:8080:8081:8082:8083/mmc
#proxy = socks4a://127.0.0.1:9150
compact-stats = 1
print-timestamps = 0

but when run y.bat  crashing and show this error  yam has stopped working

what do am i fix it

[Delinquency]

i am running fc20 of ppc64 on ibm cpu( POWER7), can you  make and release binaries for power7 cpu?

PPC Architecture isn't supported because it's out of date :\

hello
i planing buying the new rig
my question the amd a8 series processor support your miner ?

i looking this processor AMD A8 5600K AMD A8 5500 also supporting avx and aes-ni i planing groestl coin mining
my question wich miner support this avx aes-ni the mining 2x fast this feature using ?

this two link i hope help you

i read the readme i see opteron supporting i hope this amd also support some version.
thanx

Intel sports a higher cost price but grants you more kWh/HPM efficiency than AMD. For the long run, buy Intel Processors.

[echo001144]

hello
thank you sorry i miss the readme file this part :(
i use core 2 build little bit faster than groestl miner aprox 7-8 %
i found intel site i5 also aes support.



thank you.

hello
i found yam miner great but not working my i3-2120 sandy-bridge win 7 x64 home premium with sp1 i start the miner and crash windows says yam.exe shuting down
i use yam-yvg1900-M7q-win64-sandy-bridge
but i try generic version and working but i think slow 300 khs aprx
my cfg :
threads = 4

mining-params = grs:av=0&donation-interval=50
mine = stratum+tcp://echo00114.2:[email protected]:3650/grs


#proxy = socks4a://127.0.0.1:9150
#proxy = socks5://127.0.0.1:1080
compact-stats = 1
print-timestamps = 0

any ideas why not working sandy bridge wersion i try 3 machine same config also not working.
update 2 : core 2 version of yam also working i3-2120 and i3 2100 this coins grs speed 500 khs of yam-yvg1900-M7q-win64-core2  500 khs aprox
thanx

From readme.txt file:

Code Select Expand


2.2. Instruction set requirements for GroestlCoin mining

Note that GRS mining for AVX and AVX2 instruction sets require AES-NI support. AES-NI support required by GRS algorithm implementations
in following builds:

  sandy-bridge
  ivy-bridge
  haswell
  bdver1
  bdver2
  btver2

If your CPU supports AVX, but does not support AES-NI, consider using other builds.


Your CPU is exactly the case - it supports AVX, but does not support AES-NI.

SP1 resolved the issue. It bombed every time without it. As soon as I installed it YAM ran like a charm :)

Thanks for the help!

Enjoy. Consider setting donation-interval to lower values for few days :)
