The fast suffix sort on Mac and arm64. Windows and Linux already had it; those builds were still on the Go SA-IS, about a quarter of the same silicon.

Mac and arm64

The descriptor sort is the algorithm that is the 3×, not the language it is written in. macOS and linux/arm64 now use it.

  • GitHub archives are cross-compiled with cgo off, so they ship the same algorithm in Go plus hardware SHA pairing.
  • ./build.sh on the Mac compiles the C sort and ARMv8 SHA-2 pairing into the binary.
  • Darwin mining threads request user-interactive QoS so they prefer P-cores.

Startup should say suffix sort: descriptor (and paired SHA-256 if pairing is live). If it still says SA-IS, you are on the old path.

Also in this release

  • DERO difficulty is already hashes per second. The console was dividing it by the eighteen-second block target and showing the network eighteen times slower than it was.
  • If the native library is missing on Windows or Linux, the fallback is the portable descriptor, not the Go SA-IS.
  • Dashboard: CPU/GPU split bar, share flash, storm pulse.

GPU kernels are unchanged from 1.5.0. No configuration change. Upgrading is replacing the binary.
