Main change

This is a bug fix release of Gemini 3h.

A few notable improvements:

  • Improved CPU plotting performance by reducing idle time
  • Improved plotting and proving performance on modern CPU architectures (like Zen 4)
  • GPU plotting support with CUDA on Nvidia GPUs (CPU plotting is automatically disabled if supported GPU is detected, but can be re-enabled if desired)
  • All CLI plotting options that are specific to CPU plotting have --cpu prefix now
  • Various low-level fixes and improvements

Known issues

It is known that for some time now there is a probability for plotting to stop arbitrarily and require farmer restart.

Ubuntu and Windows x86-64 builds

There are two versions:

  • skylake: for Intel Skylake/AMD Ryzen processors and newer
  • x86-64-v2: for older processors since ~2009 and some old VMs
  • older processors/VMs are no longer supported by official releases, but can still be compiled manually if desired
  • x86-64 container images are built for Skylake/AMD Ryzen processors and newer only
