This file is included in the Windows binary package. Compile instructions
|
|
for Linux and Windows can be found in RELEASE_NOTES.
|
|
|
|
cpuminer is a console program that is executed from a DOS command prompt.
|
|
There is no GUI and no mouse support.
|
|
|
|
Choose the exe that best matches you CPU's features or use trial and
|
|
error to find the fastest one that doesn't crash. Pay attention to
|
|
the features listed at cpuminer startup to ensure you are mining at
|
|
optimum speed using all the available features.
|
|
|
|
Architecture names and compile options used are only provided for Intel
|
|
Core series. Pentium and Celeron often have fewer features.
|
|
|
|
AMD CPUs older than Piledriver, including Athlon x2 and Phenom II x4, are not
|
|
supported by cpuminer-opt due to an incompatible implementation of SSE2 on
|
|
these CPUs. Some algos may crash the miner with an invalid instruction.
|
|
Users are recommended to use an unoptimized miner such as cpuminer-multi.

4way requires a CPU with AES and AVX2. It is still under development and
|
|
only a few algos are supported. See change log in RELEASE_NOTES in source
|
|
package for supported algos.
|
|
|
|
Ryzen CPus perform better with AVX than AVX2 therefore an avx-sha build
|
|
is provided. Four way still uses AVX2.
