uff wow, didnt expect that much feedback over the night :)

"Illegal instruction" is caused by AVX while being permitted (i guess it's a vps you're using?), SSE4 could work, but needs some adjustment on the code, because it will auto-prefer the AVX code.

on machines with SSE4, but no AVX, it -should- choose the SSE4 code. but it looks like that this detection fails somehow on some machines... *urghs*

and don't us the "sh/min" (shares/min) measure for comparison, it's highly depending on what the server is accepting at the moment, and this is fluctuating (col/min is a better measure)



thanks for all the (positive & negative) feedback

i should add a manual option to choose from sphlib, avx or sse4

ps. i'm off to work

I found the reason, heat sink wasn't all the way on. CPU was running super hot. Hope I didn't do too much damage.

4gb. 512mb per thread.

Did you try 256? Probably wouldn't go any lower

Just my feedback on the v0.7. I compiled myself in ubuntu 13.10, it seems to run much slower on i7-4770k compared to v0.6 (about 1.1sh/m slower). But v0.7 runs faster on my i7-2600k. So weird.

How much RAM do you have and how much are you allocating to each core?

I just changed my 4670k to a different mobo because I got the 4770k for $200. But it's only getting about 1/4 col/m it was getting before. Its not the new miner because I've tried the old one too. What could it be?

I've gone from about 120 to 160 on my 4770k. Using 7 threads 1gb per thread. Thanks Xolo.

OSX issues seem to be with "Endian.h" being included in sha512, I managed to point to where it is but I get a bunch of other compilation errors:

I'll keep playing, learning heaps at the moment :D

I have 0.7 mining fine on a Xbuntu i5 laptop. Just using the addy and 4 as parameters.

Went from ~51 c/m to ~78 c/m.  Not sure if those stats are comparable between versions.

Using the sphlib on my FX-8350 using 7 cores (1 saved for cgminer) I went from ~140 to ~180 c/m.  So far stable but only at 10 valid 0 reject.

lame, CentOS box ain't running it either...yet to try a ubuntu box but I think i might hold off as it probably won't work (knowing my luck)

and now she decides to come good...nfi why, had all the dependencies installed :S

Nah she's down again...back to the old version for me

trying to get OSX working at the moment, having trouble with the compilation, will report back if I find the fix. If anyone has managed to get it running let me know.
