Unlike other hash algos, blake256 compute the hash with blocks of 64 bytes. We can do the first part on the cpu, only the 4 last int32 are computed on gpu (including the tested nonce) Previous method was also using this kind of cache with a crc. Blake Hash Speed: +5%

A part of the recent algos were originally wrote by djm34.
This variant was tested and built on Linux (ubuntu server 14.04) and VStudio 2013 on Windows 7.
Note that the x86 releases are generally faster than x64 ones on Windows.
About source code dependencies
This project requires some libraries to be built :
-
OpenSSL (prebuilt for win)
-
Curl (prebuilt for win)
-
pthreads (prebuilt for win)
The tree now contains recent prebuilt openssl and curl .lib for both x86 and x64 platforms (windows).
To rebuild them, you need to clone this repository and its submodules : git clone https://github.com/peters/curl-for-windows.git compat/curl-for-windows
There is also a Tutorial for windows on CudaMining website.
