Thanks for this... Its great

I know this is in Alpha / Beta stage but the performance of Marucoin-Mod kernel is still slower than X13mod.
Maybe it is just because of SPH_HAMSI_EXPAND_BIG. There is a different default setting in different miners. I added a .conf setting for this in sgminer (not pool-specific) yesterday, what you need to add in your conf file is:
Code:
"hamsi-expand-big" : "1",
Default value is 4, but 1 works better for many cards (for example Sapphire R9 280X Dual-X). I don't think there is a Windows build out yet for this, but you can change it in the marucoin-mod.cl file ("#define SPH_HAMSI_EXPAND_BIG 4") - in this case you will need to delete the old .bin files.
In newer versions of v5 you will see it from the filename, it will be something like "marucoin-modTahitigw256l4big1.bin" (big1 means the setting is 1).
