};
Thecheck_nonce()function just adds a number to the string, hashes it with the SHA512 algorithm and checks for 3 zero
bytes in the result.
A very important part of the code is:
#pragma omp parallel for
for (i=0; i<INT32_MAX; i++)
check_nonce (i);
Yes, that simple, without#pragma we just callcheck_nonce()for each number from 0 toINT32_MAX(0x7fffffff
or 2147483647). With#pragma, the compiler adds some special code which slices the loop interval into smaller ones, to
run them on allCPUcores available^2.
The example can be compiled^3 in MSVC 2012:
cl openmp_example.c sha512.obj /openmp /O1 /Zi /Faopenmp_example.asm
Or in GCC:
gcc -fopenmp 2.c sha512.c -S -masm=intel
(^2) N.B.: This is intentionally simplest possible example, but in practice, the usage of OpenMP can be harder and more complex
(^3) sha512.(c|h) and u64.h files can be taken from the OpenSSL library:http://go.yurichev.com/17324
