Optimized Linux Burstcoin Plotter

#OMDCCT

This is a BURST coin plotter that generates optimized plot files
without the need to run an optimizer after plotting.

This plotter ONLY works on Linux as it uses the fallocate() system
call to pre-allocate space in the file system to minimize fragmentation.

Installing

git clone https://github.com/alter3d/omdcct
cd omdcct
make

Usage

Notes

The file name will have a '.plotting' suffix while the file is incomplete, and then renamed to the
standard format if plotting is successful.

For SSE4

Usage:

./plot -k KEY [ -x CORE ] [-d DIRECTORY] [-s STARTNONCE] [-n NONCES] [-m STAGGERSIZE] [-t THREADS] [-a]

 CORE:
   0 - default core
   1 - SSE4 core
 -a = ASYNC writer mode (will use 2x memory!)

For AVX2

Usage:

./plotavx2 -k KEY [ -x CORE ] [-d DIRECTORY] [-s STARTNONCE] [-n NONCES] [-m STAGGERSIZE] [-t THREADS] [-a]

  CORE:
    0 - default core
    1 - SSE4 core
    2 - AVX2 core
   -a = ASYNC writer mode (will use 2x memory!)

Not specifying -x option will default to original dcct ploter
