Question with bitcoins as reward for good info.
Unfortunately, my info is not as good as we would like. :^)
I have a Sun Fire V880 with 8 UltraSPARC III Cpus @ 1200mhz at my disposal. This thing is a beast. Surely there is a way for me to get some decent hashing going on with it?
I've noticed there's not really much of a port, or anything that's been moved over doesn't get decent speeds.
Can someone give me the hot tip on how I can start really utilising this machine?
I build Jgarzik miner for spark, and I saw a few things:
1. Algorithms. Forget about VIA, or asm algorithms: they are for x86. Available only "c" and "cryptopp". It's not so bad, but no SSE2-fantastics.
2. It may be possible to optimize C and cryptopp. I'm going to study this possibility, when I have spare time.
P.S.
Thanx @ Mtve, who doing some interessed speed tests and found infos about this theme:
