Problem finding optimal configuration using Xeon cpus #507

My configuration has a total of 45 MB cache L3, therefore I can run up to 22 threads. Hwloc-ls tells me I have 5 physical cores and 10 threads.

I'm trying to 'accommodate' 22 threads of mining in 5 physical cores.

My results:

  • 2 mining threads per physical core (10 threads total): 390 H/s
  • 2 mining threads per physical core + Virtual core (HT) (2 * 10 = 20 threads): 270 H/s
  • 1 mining threads per physical core + Virtual core (HT) (1 * 10 = 10 threads): 370 H/s

Config
xmr-stak 2.4.3 26a5d65

CPU: Intel Xeon with 5 cores @2.3 Ghz.

How can I get more hashes per second?
