Windows Burstcoin plot generator optimized for SSE4 / AVX / AVX2
Author: Cerr Janror cerr.janror@gmail.com
Burst for donations: BURST-LNVN-5M4L-S9KP-H5AAC
Based on the linux c-port of: Markus Tervooren info@bchain.info, Burst: BURST-R5LP-KEL9-UYLG-GFG6T
Implementation of Shabal is taken from: http://www.shabal.com/?p=198 (single hash SSE 4 - disassembled to convert from AT&T-Syntax to MASM-Syntax - ported to Microsoft x64 calling convention)
Implementation of Multi-Shabal is taken from: http://www.shabal.com/?p=140 (multiple hash SSE 4 / AVX - ported AVX2)
###Usage
wplotgenerator [account id] [start nonce] [number of nonces] [stagger size] [threads] {/async}
######Mandatory parameters:
- [account id] = your numeric acount id
- [start nonce] = where you want to start plotting, if this is your first HDD then set it to 0, other wise set it to your last hdd's [start nonce] + [number of nonces]
- [number of nonces] = how many nonces you want to plot - 200gb is about 800000 nonces
- [stagger size] = set it to 2x the amount of MB RAM your system has (with async 1x the RAM your system has)
- [threads] = How many CPU threads you want to utilise
######Options:
- /async ... writing plots from a background-thread for best throughput (needs twice as much RAM)
============= ######Built with Visual Studio 2013 Since this code is using AVX2 intrinsics, Visual Studio 2013 is necessary to build this project.
============= ###Some benchmark results for V1.15:
Pocminer launched with the following commandline:
java -Xmx4000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/;lib/akka/;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate 1 0 9600 1920 %NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS%
Windows plot generator launched with the following commandline:
wplotgenerator 1 0 9600 1920 %NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS% /async
