Works very well. I am getting over 440 Mhash/s on HD 5870 (1000/375) with -k phatk AGGRESSION=13 WORKSIZE=256 VECTORS BFI_INT and about 416 Mhash/s on poclbm. However my other HD 5870 running at 950/375 with same switches only hashes about 410 MHash/s with phatk while poclbm gives about 400MHash/s.

Works nicely on XP64.
Anyone using it on Linux?
Anyone using it on Linux?
Tried it on my 5830 and there was no difference.
5xxx maxes out at a worksize of 256.
My dual 5870 (w/o CF bridges) maxes out at WORKSIZE=128.Nope, that too maxes out at 256. What I said was 768 simply is not valid for 5xxx hardware.
Phoenix should output the error OpenCL is returning instead of covering it up.
I'll probably add this in the next version, but for now it just uses the maximum supported if you enter a higher value.

Nice little bump up from 405 MH/s to 420 Mh/s on my 5870 but power usage went up 15W as well.
~15Mh/s gain with ~15W more power?

I can verify this. My power usage went up too. From 412 to 421 on one rig to 440~
Now the question is whether the extra hash power justifies the extra power consumption..math anyone?
Ok, According the deepbit's reward calculator, 405MH/s gives .097 and 420MH/s gives 0.10 BTC per hour
Switching gains you .003BTC per hour or at the current exchange rate of $7 per: $0.021/h
the difference in power is 15 Watts (.015 kW)
The price of electricity is about $0.10/kWh (http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/electricity/epm/table5_6_b.html)
The cost of electricity from the increase is .015 kW * $0.10/kWh = .0015$/h
So... the increase in profits is 14 times higher than the increase in cost. Unless the price drops to .5 or the dificulty goes up 14-fold, pretty much any overclocking / optimizing is worth it.
Edit: Also, the increase in air conditioning will likely double the cost of electricity, but the cost is still is negligible compared to the increase in profit.
Hope this helps

It helps a lot. Thanks for that analysis. I for one very much appreciate it.
Running a single saphire 5850 at 875,900 overclock with ati sdk 2.4
using the poslbm kernel - 328 MHash
using the phatk kernel - 340 MHash!
Very nice!!! I'll be sure to donate!

This modified kernel kicks ass. Went from 350 to 371 with stock 5970 (850 Mhz - it's the slightly overclocked 4 gb vram one) speeds and aggression level 7. With aggression level 12 performance bumps up to 377. All the memory is at 300 Mhz.
Very nice! Thank you so much OP!!!!
Very nice! Thank you so much OP!!!!
On my OC'd 5870 I went from 410 to 430. awwww yeeeeeaaaaah!
910Mhz/300Mhz on a HD5850, jumped from 330~ to 345-350~Mhash/s. Nice job.
I get the following error message when I try to run phatk:
I think this may have something to do with the fact that my GPU is DEVICE 1 and not 0. (For some reason OpenCL recognizes my CPU as DEVICE 0.)
