RandomX Algorithm in XDAG

Linux Requirements:

Install RandomX library

git clone https://github.com/tevador/RandomX.git
cd RandomX
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DARCH=native ..
make
sudo make install

Enable huge pages

Temporary (until next reboot) reserve huge pages

sudo sysctl -w vm.nr_hugepages=1280

Permanent huge pages reservation

sudo bash -c "echo vm.nr_hugepages=1280 >> /etc/sysctl.conf"

• A miner using randomx hash needs 1280 huge pages, about 2.5 Gigabytes

The miner can't change PoW algorithm automatically. So miner must start new version after algorithm fork manually.
