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.
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 I made my own solver(without mining) build locally for tests, but looks like it is obsolete now.
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 I tried to run the solver and solver 1 both causing hard lock of system not even reset button works anymore.
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 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.
@dagf2101 happy to include any CPU usage patch. Where can I find it?
@Genoil I have PR open for it: https://github.com/mbevand/silentarmy/pull/60
@Genoil, I am really interested to merge your changes soon. Do you have a latest version I could merge?
I don't understand, how do I get this mining under windows?
@mbevand I haven't made any changes lately. You may have a look at @zawawa fork of this, he's made some changes and fixes.
