Hello Webers,
Just discovered this nice coin and started mining it. But ran into some problem.
2x X5670 processor with 6 + 6ht ea.
I was getting low 160ish hash initially with 12 core/null setup. But I was thinking its low and turned off HT on bios, and now its around 340ish hash.
I tried to see if I could set cpu affinity setting, but I don't understand mask number system. I know its binary but I am too stupid to comprehend it.
Can some one help me with correct affinity setting so that, I can keep HT on, and have miner ignore it? So that miner just uses 12 main cores.
I really appreciate your help.
Thanks.
you can use -t switch specify number of cores used. For example:
-t 3 limits the number of cores to 3. The webchain algo needs about 2mb of L3 cache per core, so you can divide your L3 by 2 and set the resulted number after -t
Thanks. Solved.
