Last three days have seen a pretty nice run for HVC

https://www.mintpal.com/market/HVC/BTC

we've accelerated 4 out of 5 hashing algos for HVC, but the last one (Groestl) is causing us a bit of trouble.
Our first port is actually slower than the CPU - at least on my system.

Running Groestl on CPU and the rest on GPU I am getting an 800% performance boost vs. running the CPU alone.
Multiple CPU threads can even share a GPU Wink

Note that overall HVC is *not* CPU-only. They really need to change their advertising, and change it quickly. Whatever they did to SHA256 to turn it into a "GPU and ASIC resistant" HEFTY1 algorithm - it didn't work as they intended.

Christian, is this your blog? If not, they didn't use quotes. ;-)
