Xolominer vs Jhprimeminer

Marketplace Primecoin
1

So I have been mining for about month and yesterday I decided I was going to give jhprimeminer a go as I was unhappy with the results I was getting on beeeeer.

These were the results:

jhprimeminer - Windows 7

AMD FX9370 @ 4.4GHz
20,000 - 25,000 PPS
Difficulty - 10.26799697

Xolominer - Debian 7 64bit

AMD FX9370 @ 4.4GHz
1,500 - 1,800 PPS
Difficulty - 10.ish

I understand that PPS isn’t a great reflection of payout, but how can there be that much difference between a miner running on a thin client linux machine and windows 7!

Can someone shed some light on this?

You won’t find much difference between the pools unless there is customised software with optimisations.

In my opinion the AVX jhprimeminer is alright, but the normal one is worse than xolominer.

It’s up to you to determine which pool is more profitable. Furthermore, ypool takes 3% fee, so you’ll always be behind even after optimising. Unless you use candypool.

The differences in the numbers are due to different formulas used to calculate them. I’m not sure if prime/sec is the same as PPS.

What is the difference between the AVX jhprimeminer and jhprimeminer?

Can anyone confirm there is a formula difference between prime/sec and PPS?

the only measure you should trust is XPM/day

Hi,

What is the difference between the AVX jhprimeminer and jhprimeminer?
The AVX version is compiled to use Intels AVX instruction set: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Vector_Extensions

Thanks for the response xolokram and Candypool.net.

xolokram would you consider putting a comparable measure? So people can compare apples and apples.

XPM/day is the only comparable measure.

Someone did a comparison of how much faster AVX-version jhprimeminer?
