Hello Serena, can you please help me with this questions.
1.- Why do we have to put L3 cache dividded by two to mine?
2.- What are the links to the forum of dero where DEV pass more time, and what tipy of discusions are there?
Thanks
1. The original CryptoNight PoW algo uses a 2MB scratchpad buffer which is invariably placed in the L3 cache of the CPU; the new Atlantis PoW algo appears to follow that one requirement (perhaps not much else), hence why the maximum number of threads (concurrent instances, so to speak) should be less than or equal to the L3 cache divided by two.
2. The devs are very active on their Slack channel. See first post for link. The discussions are mostly highly technical in nature.
