Subject: Re: MPI-openCL build; fast hashes are faster!!
Yes, this approach is easier and I took that as well. Instead of trying to
use async stuff and events just spawn several threads, each with own
context and buffers then do the stuff in parallel on a single device. It
wastes a lot of memory indeed, but it's easy and it works. For fast hashes
with candidate generation on GPUs it's even better :)
