will allow to submit some device benchmark data to compute algo
power usage and profitability.
Introduce two new methods mining.get_algo and mining_get_stats
These methods will be used with yiimp stratum with a special benchmark option
Note: only the first card is handled for the moment.
also add stratum mining.ping support (like cgminer 4.7.1+) and prevent disconnect
on unknown methods, reply it is unsupported.
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...
Switching to a pool with a different algo will require a barrier
to free ressources, like what was made in the global benchmark.
add also the algo in pool structure...
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)
Mostly to do compatibilty tests, SM 2.1 support is very limited
SM 3.0 code should run on SM 3.5 (only a few cards use this arch)
As i can't test SM 3.5, its best to let users do their own tests...
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
when using multiple cpu threads per gpu, use the T prefix, ex:
[2015-10-11 09:52:49] GPU #0: app clocks set to P0 (3600/1228)
vs
[2015-10-11 09:52:51] GPU T0: MSI GTX 960, 5953.35 kH/s
Only thr_id is required, the function take care of the dev id
