In the last weeks I've implemented GPUPI, a benchmark that computes pi in parallel via OpenCL. It was something that I wanted to do for years, but never got that far. Somehow I successfully implemented it and it's currently in beta version. Have a look at it, it's pretty fun to crunch pi on your gpu.
GPUPI 1B: AMD Radeon R9 290, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 and Intel Core i7-4960X@4 GHz
I am aware that FUGGER and his team wanted to do something like that for some time. I don't want to piss anybody off, on the contrary! I just think that SuperPI on the GPU has something magical and the idea never got out off my head.
I'd also like to dedicate this benchmark to our beloved Turrican. He will always be missed.

Please post any results you got in this thread! I would love to see some heavy Quadros and FirePro cards, altough double precision performance should not be too much of an advantage. If there's a bug, other issues and feedback, just let me know. I will monitor this thread closely.
Important: Please use the latest graphics/OpenCL drivers, there's available. Old drivers seem to be pretty buggy with double precision.
