This will allow later more gpu candidates.
Note: This is an unfinished work, we keep the previous behavior for now
To finish this, all algos solutions should be migrated and submitted nonces attributes stored.
Its required to handle the different share diff per nonce and fix the possible solved count error (if 1/2 nonces is solved).
fix some algo weird hashrates (like blake)
and reset device between algos, for better accuracy
but this reset doesnt seems enough to bench all algos correctly...
to test on linux, could be a driver issue...
heavy: fix first alloc and indent with tabs...
import and keep my code for older archs, like skein 64
reduce the gap between our versions...
+150kH x11 GTX 960 / +30kH 750Ti
+900kH quark GTX 960 / +230kH 750Ti
reduce "false" warnings, and ignore unrelated/small ones <= 1 MB
On windows the gpu memory can be allocated by other processes
+ some cleanup in algos... (free/gpulog)
The full benchmark can now be launched with "ccminer --benchmark"
add a new helper function which log a warning with last cuda error
(not shown with the quiet option) : CUDA_LOG_ERROR();
it can be used where miner.h is included (.c/.cpp/.cu)
fix x14 (in ccminer.cpp), a break was missing in switch..case
remains my original lyra2 implementation to fix... (cuda_lyra2.cu)
I guess some kind of memory overflow force the driver to allocate
memory... but was unable to free it without device reset.
Added to most algos, checkhash function scans a big range
and can find multiple nonces at once if the difficulty is low.
Stop ignoring them, submit second one if found...
Clean the draft code for rc=2 implemented for blake and pentablake
btw... fix the reduced displayed hashrate when a nonce is found...

heavy: reduce by 256 threads default intensity to all -i 20
cuda: put static thread init bools outside the code (made once)
api: fix nvml header to build without
Sample with -i 18.5
Adding 131072 threads to intensity 18, 393216 cuda threads
And with -i 19.5
Adding 262144 threads to intensity 19, 786432 cuda threads
Small echo rewrite. +10KHASH on the 650(compute 3.0)
tpruvot: add Linux Makefile - Force to 80 registers (else -30KH/s)
Note : the hashrate seems more constant with this change
Was maybe my fault, but the benchmark mode was
always recomputing from nonce 0.
Also fix blake if -d 1 is used (one thread but second gpu)
stats: do not use thread id as key, prefer gpu id...
Project was updated for VS2013 and CUDA SDK 6.5
add also a --cputest function to dump cpu hash results
TODO: x15 is not fully functional, but first loop seems ok
