aw hes gone

ive always thought a pool could offer exclusive baller remote node service for their miners

like, theoretically the daemons on a dope box to begin with

all the up down bandwidth 10 gps

cute

but if you're running any other processes concurrent with mining, you've already made it clear that mining isn't your #1 priority

Its a great feature for normal people using their existing comps to mine

Which is a unique thing enabled in Monero

seems gratuitous to me. blocking other processes from accessing L3 cache means they all run slower

if you're actually doing work on your computer, and just run a few mining threads as background activity, this is not the kind of prioritization you want

But it means you can mine at a higher hashrate while still having usability of the PC (albeit with slightly worse performance)

Its a good option to have IMO

if you want mining to be your #1 priority. just don't run anything else

well obviously yeah

hyc the theory is that new Ryzen 4000 APUs will have more cores than they can allocate to RandomX. In theory, it should be possible to run them at near max hashrate AND do something productive on the remaining cores at the same time

no different than Intel that is already too cache-starved to use all cores

but the point remains, denying other cores the use of L3 means everything else you do will be much slower

so if you're trying to do productive owrk on your PC, and a little mining on the side, this is a stupid option

Depending on the type of other work, some slowness is typically left unnoticed. Like mostly when typing, and causing occasional incremental processing.

Sure, if you're considering number crunching, building, etc, but many people don't do that most of the time.

Guess it prevents pointless cache dirtying.

hyc well, Zen2 has 512 KB L2 cache per core, so it won't be that bad even without L3. And I wasn't talking about number crunching. In my case it's mostly typing and occasional code compilation and some browsing 99% of the time.

the feature would be if miner scale it self down when usage is detected leaving some L3 for regular tasks
