OpenCL Compiling andother Improvments

--- Quote Start ---

Hi, I'am back after severel years.

I'am an information technician and develope for (ASM,Pascal,C++,C#,php, nodejs) for 18 years now as a day job.

Back in 2001/2002 I developed an well desigend and fast Bitcoin miner for an XD2000i (Stratix III).

And now I got my hand on two Terasic TR5-F45M (5SGXEA7N2F45C2) or DE5Net and have a new project developing...

I develop on my old custom build PC

-CPU AMD FX 8350 (8-Core)

-RAM 16GB

-TR5-F45M (Stratix V)

-Windows 10 Pro 64

-Altera/Intel FPGA OpenCl SDK

-Visual Studio 2017

I have moved the whole "altera" folder and the project to an fast PCI-e SSD, and my compile times (first stage) dropped from 10 to 20 minutes to around 2 minutes.

The second stage now uses up to 100% of all 8 cores and aound 12 GB RAM, and that wasn't so before, I utilized around 12% to 25 % on average.

compiling still takes time, and I just sit here and wait.. but I wanted to tell you about this improvemnt.

best regards Dennis

any comments are welcome.

Hi. I saw you try to mine Ethereum on FPGA. You uses TR5-F45M . Is it was successful?
