from what i can see, cpu miner takes dual quad xeon l5420 from 290000 to 320000  so a reasonable improvement over the wallet but not a massive amount on ubuntu 64tbit

And the improved version posted a page or two ago takes it to 600 kH/s. I can vouch for that figure personally, being the proud owner of one of those machines.

Hi,

Do you mean this one

https://github.com/Neisklar/quarkcoin-cpuminer

built with this
CFLAGS="-O3 -Wall -msse2" ./configure ?

if not please can you print full command to config with

i'm seeing 41000 per core? so x 8 about 320 000kh?

Dual quad l5420 ?  are you sure you are getting 600 000?

that's the one i am using?
also is your machine windows 64 bit or ubuntu?

nope, the only one that needs sse2 is

http://stonefoz.myfastmail.com/cpuminer-quark2.zip
I replaced two of the slowest parts with asm and sse2 instructions, doubles the hash rate.
MUST BE COMPILED WITH
CFLAGS="-sse2"



thanks so if i download this one

http://stonefoz.myfastmail.com/cpuminer-quark2.zip

i just compile with this even for 64 bit?
CFLAGS="-sse2" ./configure

that is the only thing i put on that command line?



Well, "-O3" doesn't hurt.... is a bit faster but I'd check the "makeprofile.sh" script. Does a simple test to make sure it's producing mostly accurate result.

I haven't tested it on Intel, so the compiler might choke if pushed too far.

And so far it's 64bit only.  32bit doesn't have much room to improve speed, keep your older machines running something else.
