Subject: ALGORITHM_NAME et al in GPU formats
I believe you are using ALGORITHM_NAME incorrectly in most GPU formats.
The name is a little unintuitive: It's supposed to tell
implementation-specific things like 64/64 or SSE2 12x. In your case I
believe it should simply say CUDA or OpenCL unless there's something
more specific to tell.
The algorithm, salting etc can be freely described in FORMAT_NAME while
BENCHMARK_COMMENT can be used for things like (rounds=5000) - especially
for formats where this is not fixed.
Examples attached. One reason these are important is that once we
release a Jumbo with some FORMAT_NAME, changing it will confuse relbench
so it can't boast about future boost ;-)
