Can you explain yourself better? What is 'Ygrid' ?

Ygrid is the second coordinate of the GPU thread array.
It affects performance. This is very useful for linear algebra because you can use thread coordinates to make fast matrix calculus.
In our case, this is just used to tune performance.

I was in weekend, Yesterday was also a day off in France, I restart the work today. I also have professional work to perform but I will continue to make update on github when I can for everybody. I will try to integrate ASAP the mods from  PatatasFritas and the support of -ws for the client mode. News from AndrewBrz who is progressing well with the OpenCL kernel.

Zielar solved #110 with official 1.8 and 1.9alpha for merging.

It'll be interesting to see what my Vega VIIs can do. They murder all the RTX cards when mining ethash (90 to 100 Mh/s compared to 40-55 Mh/s). I know mining is different but we shall see how they perform when it comes to this program. Hopefully Andrew has success, at least for himself.
Someone is working on opencl support ?
Yes, that link JLP posted to his Github, under the Issues tab, Optimization subject...AndrewBrz(?). He posted a pic of the  progress he has made so far.
