@ -2,3 +2,34 @@ Optimal number of threads depends on the size of the L3 cache of CPU.
* For **cryptonight** it's **2 MB** or **4 MB** (lower power mode) per thread.
* For **cryptonight-lite** it's **1 MB** or **2 MB** (lower power mode) per thread.
## Options
By default, XMRig try choice optimal threads settings for current CPU with very estimated maximum CPU load 75% (`--max-cpu-usage=75`).
```
-a, --algo=ALGO cryptonight (default) or cryptonight-lite
```
If you want use CryptoNight-Lite (AEON) you should specify this option `--algo=cryptonight-lite`. For cryptonight (Monero) it's option optional.
```
-t, --threads=N number of miner threads
```
Manually specified number of threads. With `--safe` option this number can be automatically reduced to not to exceed the optimal thread count.
```
-v, --av=N algorithm variation, 0 auto select\n\
```
```
--cpu-affinity set process affinity to cpu core(s), mask 0x3 for cores 0 and 1
```
```
--max-cpu-usage=N maximum cpu usage for automatic threads mode (default 75)\n\
```
```
--safe safe adjust threads and av settings for current CPU
```
