I have access when I make extern struct options_main options;
all the time I was thinking that all of you want to get this from
arguments passed to init or reset and I was trying to do this

I remember about this that the kernel is cached but after
the compilation is auto tuning and I don't know If it's better to make
only once auto tuning for various parameters or auto tuning many
times for different parameters

at the first time when reset is called db=NULL so I don't know which
hashes are loaded, sometimes (with or without the --test I don't
remember) reset() is called before init().

I don't have got this code now. I can recode it if this is important
This opencl implementation using private memory crashes for
even m_cost=2 on --dev=1 and m_cost=5 on --dev=5,6
and I can't do with this more. I know now about the memory
types at graphics cards and their limitations because I tested
almost everything and pomelo smartly exploit this.
I don't know if I should implement this version.
I hope my quotations this time are more normal but I'm afraid of it
If this opencl implementation using private memory crashes
for even m_cost=2 on --dev=1 and m_cost=5 on --dev=5,6 I don't know if
should I code this
Also I started modifying my old implementation which uses global memory.
I changed around 40% code to keep as long as possible global values
in variables which are private and the speed is around 30% better.
If I change more, the speed can increase to around 50-80%
I don't know which version of opencl-pomelo should I implement
a) global memory
b) private memory
c) global witch modyfications mentioned above
d) local and global - if m_cost is small (1-3) use local memory
for greater values use c)
e) nothing if GPU can't be faster than CPU
Should I perform more tests for every a)-c)?
thanks
