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.

Ryzen 7 1700x

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

Examples:

Same result, it has to do something with "Security Settings > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment > Lock pages in memory"

Without largepages it is running, but the hashrate is much less then reported from others for the same hardware.
