Catalyst v13.1

[atom]

I've checked out the new Catalyst v13.1 driver a bit.

All test have been done on Ubuntu 12.04.1 lts.

Performance comparison are against Catalyst v12.8.

Here are my results:

On hd7970:

• Good: Oracle-DES speed increased from 1200M to 1310M
  
• Bad: ASIC hangs still occour randomly (to often to ignore)
  
• Bad: SHA1 speed dropped from 2850M to 2160M
  
• Bad: NTLM speed dropped from 16000M to 15000M
  
• Bad: descrypt speed dropped from 83M to 60M (was at 103M with Catalyst v12.1)
  

On hd6990:

• Good: No ASIC hangs
  
• Bad: SHA512 speed dropped from 220M to 174M
  
• Bad: Oracle-DES speed dropped from 282M to 230M
  

Both cards:

• Good: No more kernel compiler segfaults
  
• Good: All unit-tests passed
  
• Bad: Still segfaults when accessing ADL and X11 is not running
  
• Bad: All other algorithms speed dropped slightly (5% or less)
  
• Bad: Installed memory still reported incorrectly
  
• Bad: 32-bit OpenCL libraries are still not copied on 64-bit OS's
