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...
ccminer -n 2>NUL
GPU #0: SM 5.2 GeForce GTX 970
GPU #1: SM 5.0 Gigabyte GTX 750 Ti
GPU #2: SM 5.2 ASUS GTX 970
note: nvml destroy is made in proper_exit function
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
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.
Note: lyra2, lyra2v2 and script seems to have problems
to coexist with other algos... to run after some of them...
moved lyra2 first and skip scrypt/jane for the moment...
Only stored in memory for now.. to display a table after the bench
ccminer -a auto --benchmark
Results may be exported later to a json file...
make a difference between whirlpool and whirlcoin algos (stratum)
Look like the old SHA merkleroot method doesnt work on recent coins
Doesn't affect solo mining, only pools using stratum+tcp:// protocol
which display submitted block and net difficulty and is able
to detect shares above net diff (solved blocs)
Note: only made on lyra2v2 and zr5 algos
TODO: compute the found diff on all algos...
require changes in all scan hash "kernel" function parameters
to be continued...
0: cudaDeviceScheduleAuto
1: cudaDeviceScheduleSpin
2: cudaDeviceScheduleYield
4: cudaDeviceScheduleBlockingSync
Also set the best one (4) for luffa algo by default...
--pstate 0 is an alternative to clocks values to set the device in P0
mode, 1 will set appl. clocks to default P1 clocks, 2 to default P2..
--plimit 150W really works on the 9xx and allow to limit/reduce the gpu usage
Note: nvml interface is only available on linux and windows x64

Remove -v and -m short params specific to heavycoin
Add --diff-multiplier (-m) and rename --diff to --diff-factor (-f)
--diff is kept for compat, but no more in help
This prevent using weird values like -f 0.0000125
Since linux driver 346.72, nvidia-smi allow to query gpu/mem clocks
Tested ok on the Asus Strix 970, but fails on the Gigabyte 750 Ti
system could require first persistence mode and app clock unlock :
nvidia-smi -pm 1
nvidia-smi -acp 0
supported values are displayed by
nvidia-smi -q -d SUPPORTED_CLOCKS

multi-pools: prepare storage/switch of credentials
for the moment:
- allow the storage of multiple -o params (and user/pass)
- allow a failover pool on connection failed
- switch to the next pool with the "seturl" api remote command
- longpoll to stratum switch (reverse to check...)
todo: mix stratum/getwork, new api commands, json config...

multipool: increase stability, but not 100% perfect
several problems fixed:
- submit to the pool set in work (source pool)
- longpoll curl timeout could be too high and could lock the switch
- mutexes cant be copied on windows (stratum global var to fully remove later)
I linked the -T timeout option to curl and tried to remove all fixed timeout values

was only made on the wallets with getmininginfo
Todo: double check for all algos/pools
tested ok on x11, lyra2, skein, skein2, zr5 stratum/longpoll
Scrypt-Jane pool net diff seems incorrect, disabled
Neoscrypt could be different also (untested, disabled)...
add params --max-temp 75, --max-rate 112.5M and --max-diff 5.0 (best for solo mining)
Note: not all the wallets are reporting the network mining difficulty and hashrate
was only for linux, so reduce usage difference
beware, no way to turn it back to visible yet...
to prevent hiding your console, you can use :
start ccminer -B -c ccminer.conf
also tested batchsize and texturecache but seems useless,
they can be tested/tuned directly in kernel variants...
Note: -i cuduminer param is already used in ccminer (--intensity)
This enhances the hashrate when mining together with a cpu miner,
and doesn't slow down the machine, ccminer doesn't use a lot of cpu.
Note: this value doesn't require Admin rights on windows, unlike highest ones.
only allowed if --api-remote parameter or config key is set
and fix possible problem with urls containing user:password@

rejects in solo mode often means "generated block is stale" (see Debug.log)
Most of current wallets only reports "rejected" reason without explanations.
So prevent this common error,
you can turn off this gbt feature (height check) with --no-gbt option.
seems to resolve solo mining lock on share.
export also computed solo work diff in api (not perfect)
In high rate algos, throughput should be unsigned...
This fixes keccak, blake and doom problems
And change terminal color of debug lines, to be selectable in putty,
color code is not supported in windows but selection is ok there.
Seems to be djm34 work, i recognize the code style ;)
Code was cleaned/indented and adapted to my fork...
Only usable on the test pool until 16 december 2014!
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
The DLL exists for x64 targets but seems not loadable
The nvml.cpp code was wrote to support both NVAPI and NVML on windows
because both apis have unique "features". like Fan RPM vs Fan Percent
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
