So, you made mining work under windows? I made my own solver(without mining) build locally for tests, but looks like it is obsolete now. |
different stdout encoding for win

Pretty much done now. A different approach to GPU saturation seems to be required, at least on my win10 box i can't get multiple instances per GPU to work well. But that might be OS specific, because I saw people using my multi-threaded approach with success too, and others getting no results from it. |

The last build on windows 10 and 7 crashing for me sa-solver.exe crahes when exit and sa-solver1.exe crashes instantly on start..windows still work partially but if you want to close the cmd or sa-solver1.exe you can't kill the process even with admin rights. System shutdown then freezes and need power off. |
I did not observe any negative influence on performance with this patch. The CPU core usage is reduced to about 8% from 100%. I am getting consistent 38Sols/s on MSI Gaming X 1070 on one instance while testing. Sols/s on AMD cards (RX480) are not affected. The clFlush it required as AMD will only start working when there is blocking operation waiting which is delayed in this case. This is only suggestion and solution that works for me, it isn't perfect but it works for me. With this silentarmy is the best miner for Nvidia that I know. Don't feel obligated to accept this PR, you can use parts of it or it in whole to engineer a solution that you think is the best. I have tried to sched_yield trick, it seems to stopped working unfortunately.

I just tested this on my Windows 8.1 64bit system. 280X and 470 4GB have 160 sols/s together. I had 150 sols/s with Claymore. |

I don't understand, how do I get this mining under windows? |
This builds a working sa-solver.exe into the main project directory. All windows-specific files are in the windows subdirectory.
The python script (added the py extension for doubleclicking convenience) doesn't communicate properly with the solver yet. I'll add some changes to this PR if get anywhere with that.
