Re: [ANN]: cpuminer-opt v3.5.11, open source optimized multi-algo CPU miner
the algos which gonna fail
miner stops after checking first block , crash is then reported by miner as illegal instruction
3.5.11 tested , same results as in 3.5.10 nothing changes for Amd cpu

Thanks for testing. I think I've done all I can to get thosre old AMDs to work.
An illegal instruction usually means the CPU hasn't implemented it, often when trying to
ue AES instructions on a CPU that doesn't support AES. In this case it appears these AMD
CPUs don't have the full SSE2 implementation.
Even if there was a way for the compiler to detect this condition the result would be a build
without any optimizations, ie it would be the same as cpuminer-multi.
My recommendation is to use cpuminer-multi on those algos.
Oh, I didn't realize my Athlon64 was _that_ old, failing at SSE3 instructions. Reverting back to 3.4.12 then
