Run in CPU-only mode

Open utahman opened this issue 10 years ago • 1 comments

Since CUDAminer is made out of CPUminer, is it possible to add a mode where it uses only CPU to calculate hashes? Currently there is no switch for CPU-only. Something like -H 3 would be helpful. Otherwise people have to have two miners: CUDAminer and CPUminer. In other words, on system with no GPUs CUDAminer currently does nothing.

the optimized CPU miner code was removed. Too much assembly code, non portable to Visual C++ on Windows.
