Howdy Folks,

Recently I set about trying to improve how we determine the GFLOP rating of the various GPUS that BOINC can detect.

For those of you who are comfortable running experimental builds, would you run this private drop and post the GPU detection results:
Win x86: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc.07012016.x86.zip
Win x64: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc.07012016.x64.zip

My goal is to make the GFLOP rating similar to those listed here (Single Precision):
Nvidia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nvidia_graphics_processing_units
AMD: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units

Thanks Claggy, Thanks Richie.

It appears the client software gives preference to CAL/CUDA benchmark values. That seems like a good idea to me, so I'm going to leave that as it is.

I guess my changes will only come into play for those devices that are OpenCL only.

My new GPU is such a device.
