Re: Wolf's MRO CPUMiner - 2x speed compared to LucasJones'

Win64 binaries exist but require AES-NI.

If I compile from source should I be able to run it on a processor without AES-NI then? I compiled it successfully in an Virtualbox Ubuntu 13.04 virtual machine (on a Win 7 host without AES-NI), but get:

Code:

[2014-05-31 09:46:38] Using JSON-RPC 2.0
[2014-05-31 09:46:38] 2 miner threads started, using 'cryptonight' algorithm.
Illegal instruction (core dumped)

upon starting up the miner.

Configure with --disable-aes-ni

Thank you. That worked.

Without AES-NI available to me on this machine, I get a slower hash rate with your miner compared to the Lucas Jones miner. I'm sure this comes as no surprise, since you have been optimizing for AES-NI. Inside my virtual machine, per core, I get about 11 H/s with yours, and about 18.5 H/s with Lucas Jones.
