Upgraded to the new AMD driver version 17.8.1 and now the Enigma tasks are failing with code 195 EXIT_CHILD_FAILED. Checked the other projects, and no other project is having an issue with the new driver.

After going back to 17.7.1 for awhile so that the Enigma GPU tasks would run, upgraded to the latest driver tonight 17.9.1 and everything is running fine.
... and still I fear, and still I dare not laugh at the Mad Man!

I have a FM1 board with a HD 6670 and the HD 6550D of an A8-3820 APU.
I am running the most recent AMD driver for that setup, which is 16.2.1
All WUs exceed the time limit since a week or so, before that all was running well.

Another system uses Ubuntu 16.04, which can't use the AMD Driver anymore and has an Open Source video driver, that works on e.g. Xansons for COD.
Enigma WUs fail though because Preferred OpenCL platform vendor (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.) not found.

Matszpk (the OpenCL port author) said he will look at the possibility to support open source driver.
The current version is highly optimized for AMD OpenCL and that's why it's refusing to run on other platforms.

I have version that working under opensource driver. Maybe tomorrow, that version will be given to tests. It can be working on old
Mesa3D/LLVM and new Mesa3D/LLVM (LLVM >=4.0.0). Also, I added support for Polaris to my assembler (and that version), so that version
will be working on RX 4x0/5x0 graphics cards.

Upgraded to the latest driver last night, 17.9.2 and the Enigma tasks are running. Note: I should have said earlier that even though they run now on these new drivers, The Progress indicator does not update for about the first 50 seconds or so the task is running and when it does, the task is then at about 25% complete and the Progress indicator indicates normally until the task ends.

I encountered some problems while testing on new open-source drivers (Mesa3D 17.0.0 and LLVM 4.0) on my new hardware (RX 480). I need time to troubleshooting. Luckily, main assembly code works very well on opensource drivers (without errors). Only some OpenCL code needs revision.

The progress reporting is not currently supported by the GPU apps as they run via wrapper.
The BOINC core client guesses the runtime after a few WUs and then the default progress info seems to fairly accurate.

I'll be releasing matszpk's latest app version under the test platform later today as Enigma GPU test v1.08.
