# kristforge ![Rust tests](https://github.com/tmpim/kristforge/workflows/Rust%20tests/badge.svg)

Kristforge is a cross-platform hardware accelerated GPU and CPU [krist](https://krist.ceriat.net) miner. Kristforge uses

OpenCL and accelerated CPU instruction sets to maximize performance, making it the fastest krist miner in existence.

## Download

Pre-built 64-bit binaries for Linux and Windows can be found on the

[release page](https://github.com/tmpim/kristforge/releases).

## Usage

Kristforge supports both CPU and GPU mining. GPU mining is usually faster and more efficient, but modern CPUs can also

provide decent speeds.

OpenCL drivers are required for GPU support to work - these are usually included with your

graphics drivers, but you may need to manually install them. See your manufacturer's driver/support page for

instructions for your specific setup. On Linux systems in particular, these are often packaged separately from graphics

drivers, and should be installed through your distribution's package manager.

Kristforge provides many command-line options to configure it to suit your needs, but also intelligently selects 

defaults that provide near-optimal performance for most users. The default behavior of kristforge is to use all GPU

devices and automatically scale up batch sizes, and use as many CPU miner threads as your system has logical cores.

## Examples 

- Mine with default settings using both CPU and GPU

    - `kristforge mine 
`

- Mine with default settings using only GPU

    - `kristforge mine 
 --no-cpu`

- Mine with only CPU with a specific number of threads

    - `kristforge mine 
 --no-gpu --cpu-threads 8`

- Get mining hardware information

    - `kristforge info`
