Fix for OpenCL automatic platform detection for Crimson driver 17.12.1 (Adrenalin). Blockchain driver is still way more performant on Vegas though
kernel optimizations result in subtle performance improvements
--fastjobswitch option (experimental) to force fast switching to new jobs. When enabled the GPUs will switch to the new job within less then 100ms. This improves the effective hash rate by 1 to 5% as nearly no GPU performance will be wasted on calculating outdated shares anymore. The drawback is a slightly lower displayed hashrate as while switching no hashes are calculated.
improved support for more then 8 GPUs
support for Radeon RX 470/RX 570 (Polaris) added
--forcecompute option to force kernel for compute mode on Polaris (RX470/570/480/580) GPUs. In the Radeon Settings GPU Workload has to be switched to 'Compute'. This option is available in Crimson 17.10.2 (or later) driver and reaches nearly the same performance on Polaris based GPUs as with the Blockchain driver.
openCL platform is auto detected if --opencl is not specified
--nonicehash option to disable nicehash support
nicehash support will automatically disabled if more then 8 GPUs are used. Otherwise search space could be exhausted to early and the GPUs search in overlapping nonce ranges.
