Use all 100% power of CPU with C#
i'm trying to rewrite Vanitygen in C#. This is my code for now
private void btnGenerate_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
KeyPair kp = KeyPair.Create(ExtraEntropy.GetEntropy()); //Generate private key
string wifprivatekey = new KeyPair(kp.PrivateKeyBytes).PrivateKeyBase58; //Create wif private key
string address = new AddressBase(kp, AddressTypeByte).AddressBase58);// Create base 58 address
if (address.StartsWith(pattern)) //compare value with input pattern
{
using (var writer = File.AppendText(@"C:Usersran242Desktopresult.txt"))
{
writer.WriteLine("Pattern: "+pattern);
writer.WriteLine("Address: "+address);
writer.WriteLine("Privatekey: "+wifprivatekey);
}
}
}
I test it to run mutiple time using Parallel.For. The code run really slow for now, so i intend to improve the performance. When run on parallel, it can only check 1000 address for like 3 seconds & it didn't even use all CPU power
System.Threading.Tasks.Parallel.For(0, 1000, i =>
{
KeyPair kp = KeyPair.Create(ExtraEntropy.GetEntropy()); //Generate private key
string wifprivatekey = new KeyPair(kp.PrivateKeyBytes).PrivateKeyBase58; //Create wif private key
string address = new AddressBase(kp, AddressTypeByte).AddressBase58);// Create base 58 address
if (address.StartsWith(pattern)) //compare value with input pattern
{
using (var writer = File.AppendText(@"C:Usersran242Desktopresult.txt"))
{
writer.WriteLine("Pattern: "+pattern);
writer.WriteLine("Address: "+address);
writer.WriteLine("Privatekey: "+wifprivatekey);
}
}
});
Is there any method that i can improve the code & use 100% of my CPU or any CPU whenever i run this code on different computer? thank you

You're doing file I/O - there is your bottleneck. Throwing threads at it is not going to improve anything

Nov 19 '18 at 3:54
I just remove file I/O & run it. It's pretty much the same performance :v

As MickyD says it, this is not a CPU bound operation but a Disk bound one. If anything throwing more threads at it will add Thread management overhead, making it slower. | As for properly replicating Vanitygen: I doubt that will happen. It is written in C, wich allows all the Micro--optimsiations moderns day programmers do not deal with. .NET is in no way noticeably slwoer in common use cases, but that programm is a high performance BitCoin miner (I think, the description is wierd).

I also noticed you got WriteLines in there. Writing to the user is expensive. If you only do it once per user triggered event, you will not notice. But from a loop, the speed of consoel drawing can easily become the bottleneck. Try just minimizing the Console window and see if the performance improoves. I run my fair share of console commands monthly, and if hte processing is short the Console overhead becoems massive.

You're also writing to the same file from multiple threads... that's a recipe for disaster.

What are you trying to do is close to realtime progtramming. That is not something you can just do or learn on a whim.
Realtime Proramming is a highly specialized area of programming, with specialized Operating Systems. One for wich C# and .NET are pretty unsuited to begin with. A JiT compiled, Garbage Collected runtime is not the right environment for Realtime Programming. That is why the original programm was written in C.
As best as I can tell, you are trying to programm way above your skill level. You need to learn Multitasking first before you even got a shoot at it. Then you need to know if this problem is even Pleasingly Paralelizeable or at when it suffers Paralell Slowdown. On your comptuer, mind you. Stuff like the Swapfile can easily get in the way of this kind of performance.

You're doing file I/O - there is your bottleneck. Throwing threads at it is not going to improve anything

I just remove file I/O & run it. It's pretty much the same performance :v

As MickyD says it, this is not a CPU bound operation but a Disk bound one. If anything throwing more threads at it will add Thread management overhead, making it slower. | As for properly replicating Vanitygen: I doubt that will happen. It is written in C, wich allows all the Micro--optimsiations moderns day programmers do not deal with. .NET is in no way noticeably slwoer in common use cases, but that programm is a high performance BitCoin miner (I think, the description is wierd).

I also noticed you got WriteLines in there. Writing to the user is expensive. If you only do it once per user triggered event, you will not notice. But from a loop, the speed of consoel drawing can easily become the bottleneck. Try just minimizing the Console window and see if the performance improoves. I run my fair share of console commands monthly, and if hte processing is short the Console overhead becoems massive.

You're also writing to the same file from multiple threads... that's a recipe for disaster.
