I have dual L5640 Wesmere processors (dual 6 core = 24 thread) and I get horrible performance no matter which exe I use... or even running via Linux, 100 h/s is about all I get. Is there a bug or something I'm missing?
Try it with 6 threads per cpu, that should better fit the L3 cache and make sure the miner recongnizes AES.
Otherwise I need a lot more info.
Are there any debug logs or anything like that I can retrieve? any parameters I can add, when launching, to get additional debug info ?
You mean like a console session? Why haven't you posted that yet? There's a lot of good info displayed when the miner starts up,
it should be obvious to post that as a minimum when asking a question.
OK got some info - also, the result is no different in v3.4.7
edit: Also a note about config... these results were compiled with march=westmere -O3 ; trying other variations doesn't do much +/- a few percentage points (march=native, -O2,1,fast etc..)

Just a note about this - I was reading about this issue a number of days ago and someone mentioned that AES may not actually be enabled even though it says that it is? I just can't imagine that dual 6-core L5640 processors would perform like this without something being wrong. I tried doling things out via numactl and that didn't have any impact to speak of.
