Working through your pdf and I see the following, thanks a TON for including this feature!! I wish all miners did this. Cheesy

Your welcome Cheesy

For 0.4 I plan to allow that users can switch sol/s for ksol/s ... lets see Wink

Lolliedieb,
Could we expect any performance improvements in future releases?

Yes, the 0.34 already mines a bit faster compared to 0.33. On my Linux test rig about 2% faster on my Windows AMD Kaveri machine about 5%. Not that big numbers, but faster is faster Wink

For 0.4 I will likely add the support for binary kernels. That may allow the download of Kernels that are optimized for your GPU. Also maybe I provide Kernels then with inline assembler code for more speed. Lets see ^^

Reading your release notes it seems that this version still does not support Fiji (AMD R9 Fury / Nano)? Is this still planned for 0.4.0?

The release notes are not complete - else it would take longer to write them as to write the new code ^^
I just checked the OpenCL Kernel code in AMD offline compiler:

Code:

Target GPU detected:
Fiji (Graphics IP v8)
AMD FirePro (TM) S9300 x2
AMD MxGPU
AMD Radeon (TM) Graphics Processor
AMD Radeon (TM) R9 Fury Series
AMD Radeon Graphics Processor
Radeon (TM) Pro Duo
Radeon Pro SSG Development Kit

Building for Fiji... succeeded.

So the Kernel builds and also the code runs on my test systems with other AMD GCN V3 platforms (I have no Fiji card here, but well - chip architecture is the same) ... so IMAO it should run with 0.34
