BitShares PTS / Re: Open source optimized PTS CPU miner (BETA)
« on: January 17, 2014, 03:10:50 pm »ok - thanks again for the feedback on this. I've put beta4 online in the usual place:
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dga/ptsminer/
Along with a static build to address the gentoo library versioning issue.
I'm kind of proud of this one - it's the first of the Haswell builds that cracks 500 cpm on a non-overclocked CPU. I haven't quite determined if 6 or 7 threads is better, but it's one of those two settings.
Delta from beta3:
- Uses about 20MB less memory per thread
- Further optimized sha512 computation code
- Static build is now part of my default build chain, so we'll keep this one around.
- Still 3% advanced-build dev fee, but I hope that the 170cpm you'll get more than any other miner should more than compensate for that. :-)
That sounds good. Just to be clear, do we actually need a Haswell CPU to use this build?
