Re: SILENTARMY v4: Zcash miner, now with Nvidia support (Linux only)
Dramatic CPU usage savings and PCIe bandwidth savings are now committed, thanks to on-device filtering of invalid solutions: https://github.com/mbevand/silentarmy/commit/146b8dc0b6618852e2f322fab51f3ed3739da07a
PCIe bandwidth usage dropped from ~100 MB/s to 500kB/s per GPU! This should really help those with PCIe ×1 risers. MAX_SOLS is now reduced from 2000 to 10
CPU usage should also now be close to zero. (Well except Nvidia because their OpenCL implementation implements busy waits, but I'll check in a workaround soon.)
As always, check the changelog which I always update in real-time: https://github.com/mbevand/silentarmy/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

I just tried this update and i can confirm that cpu usage is near zero
also i can see 2~5% more speed improvement on my 8 rigs of rx 470 .. good work
