17:06:58 <jpk68> How did 7 blocks just get mined in the past 3 minutes
17:07:18 <jpk68> Must be a crazy fluke (??)
17:11:25 <hyc> huh github says I'm ratelimited. I haven't done anything yet.
17:21:25 <sech1> Maybe github doesn't like your IP address
17:21:50 <sech1> Meanwhile, I tested RISC-V vector code on Orange Pi RV2: https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/pull/3746#issuecomment-3708264695
17:22:13 <sech1> +2.5% only, but it's heavily limited by RAM (only 512 KB L2 per a cluster of 4 cores)
17:22:25 <sech1> I need to test it single-threaded, and with 512 KB scratchpad
17:44:13 <sech1> Did a test of a single thread with 256 KB scratchpad. 34.61 H/s scalar code, 43.43 H/s vector code. +25% speedup
17:44:56 <sech1> scalar: https://p2pool.io/u/11498f17985cb346/Screenshot%20from%202026-01-04%2018-43-22.png
17:45:15 <sech1> vector: https://p2pool.io/u/f5073be9c575b440/Screenshot%20from%202026-01-04%2018-38-44.png
17:46:47 <sech1> With 512 KB scratchpad it was 30.61 -> 38.8 H/s (+26.7%)
17:47:13 <sech1> I guess because this CPU doesn't have hardware AES, and vectorized soft AES is much faster, so it matters more for bigger scratchpads
17:52:34 <sech1> and 25.34 H/s for the regular RandomX on a single thread (2 MB scratchpad)
17:53:00 <sech1> that's vector code already ^
18:22:37 <hyc> nice
