Embedded gpuowl.cl in executable, the .cl file next to the executable is not needed anymore.[/QUOTE]Welcome changes.

Are there any changes in the performance compared to v6.2?
Here's a Windows compile.

Does shared.h still need to be included in the folder?

[QUOTE=xx005fs;513295]Does shared.h still need to be included in the folder?[/QUOTE]

no

There was a memory leak in the GCD, triggered when doing P-1. If somebody is doing many P-1, an update is recommended. PRP is not affected.

The symptom is gradually increasing memory use by gpuowl in time. Leak is on the order of 20MB per P-1 test.

Please use v6.5 for the fix (just commited to github)

New in 6.5
 

In recent commits (v6.5) I changed a bit how configuration and work files are handled.

A new command-line argument was added: "-dir", which takes a folder name. This allows to specify the working folder of the program. All the files are accessed in that folder, such as: worktodo.txt, gpuowl.log, results.txt, checkpoints.

If -dir is not specified, the current directory is the working dir (i.e. this preserves the old behavior).

A new special file was added, "config.txt". If it exists, it should contain arguments in the same syntax as the command line arguments. These arguments will be parsed and have the same effect as the ones on the command line, except that in case of conflict the command line wins.

Example:
I have two GPUs. I keep two work folders, one per gpu. In each folder I keep a config.txt containing something like:
user preda -cpu r7 -device 1 -B1 300000

I can use a single openowl binary for both folders. I start them with something like:
./openowl -dir gpu0
./openowl -dir gpu1

I can still override what's in config.txt on the command line:
./openowl -dir gpu0 -B1 500000

Let me know what you think. Also, there may be bugs or other problems.

I think it's great. It'll allow for clean compartmentalisation without having to resort to sym links. The binary builds but seg faults with or without args (except -h) and with or without a config.txt. Could be a fault my end, I'm having to mess about transferring the source manually and the internet is not good enough to clone the entire repo (had to use --depth 1 for just the latest commit).

[QUOTE=M344587487;513520]I think it's great. It'll allow for clean compartmentalisation without having to resort to sym links. The binary builds but seg faults with or without args (except -h) and with or without a config.txt. Could be a fault my end, I'm having to mess about transferring the source manually and the internet is not good enough to clone the entire repo (had to use --depth 1 for just the latest commit).[/QUOTE]

This is the segfault, has been reported but no diagnosis yet: [url]https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=90050[/url]

I did work-around that problem by compiling with gcc-9, which is available on ubuntu 19.04 with "sudo apt install g++-9"

I still don't understand how a problem so severe is in the wild like that. If more people hit it, I'll probably try to change the implementation to avoid using filesystem::path, although that's convenient.

I have attempted to reproduce the segfault without success. I have fixed the Makefile by adding -lstdc++fs , the pull request is waiting.
