This file is included in the Windows binary package. Compile instructions
|
||||
for Linux and Windows can be found in RELEASE_NOTES.

|
||||
cpuminer-opt is open source and free of any fees. Many forks exist that are
|
||||
closed source and contain usage fees. support open source free software.
|
||||
|
||||
This package is officially avalaible only from:
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/JayDDee/cpuminer-opt
|
||||
|
||||
No other sources should be trusted.
|
||||
|
||||
cpuminer is a console program that is executed from a DOS or Powershell
|
||||
command prompt. There is no GUI and no mouse support.
|
||||
|
||||
New users are encouraged to consult the cpuminer-opt Wiki for detailed

Miner programs are often flagged as malware by antivirus programs. This is
|
||||
a false positive, they are flagged simply because they are cryptocurrency
|
||||
miners. The source code is open for anyone to inspect. If you don't trust
|
||||
the software, don't use it.
|
||||
|
||||
Choose the exe that best matches you CPU's features or use trial and
|
||||
error to find the fastest one that works. Pay attention to
|
||||
the features listed at cpuminer startup to ensure you are mining at
|
||||
optimum speed using the best available features.
|
||||
|
||||
Architecture names and compile options used are only provided for
|
||||
mainstream desktop CPUs. Budget CPUs like Pentium and Celeron are often
|
||||
missing some features. Check your CPU.
|
||||
|
||||
Support for AMD CPUs older than Ryzen is incomplete and without specific
|
||||
recommendations. Find the best fit. 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.
|
||||
|
||||
More information for Intel and AMD CPU architectures and their features
|
||||
can be found on Wikipedia.

|

|

* Alderlake is a hybrid architecture with a mix of E-cores & P-cores. Although
|
||||
the P-cores can support AVX512 the E-cores can't so Intel decided to disable
|
||||
AVX512 on the the P-cores.

Notes about included DLL files:
|
||||
|
||||
Downloading DLL files from alternative sources presents an inherent
|
||||
security risk if their source is unknown. All DLL files included have
|
||||
been copied from the Ubuntu-20.04 installation or compiled by me from
|
||||
source code obtained from the author's official repository. The exact
|
||||
procedure is documented in the build instructions for Windows:
|
||||
https://github.com/JayDDee/cpuminer-opt/wiki/Compiling-from-source
|
||||
|
||||
Some included DLL files may already be installed on the system by Windows or
|
||||
third party packages. They often will work and may be used instead of the
|
||||
included version of the files.
