I need help running RandomX benchmark with largepages enabled.

My bat file content:

benchmark --mine --jit --largePages --threads 8 --init 8 --nonces 100000

Result:

RandomX benchmark v1.1.1
 - full memory mode (2080 MiB)
 - JIT compiled mode
 - hardware AES mode
 - large pages mode
Initializing (8 threads) ...
ERROR: Cache allocation failed
To use large pages, please enable the "Lock Pages in Memory" policy and reboot.

I have in "Security Settings > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment > Lock pages in memory" set to Everyone

Using windows 10

Any ideas?




What's your hardware specs?
Probably not enough L2/L3 cache to run 8 threads as RandomX requires: 16 KiB of L1 cache, 256 KiB of L2 cache and 2 MiB of L3 cache per mining thread.

Ok, then try: --mine --jit --largepages --threads 8 --init 16 --nonces 100000
