# MultiPar
### v1.3.3.2 is public
### v1.3.3.3 is public
  This is a small fix version to improve performance of GPU acceleration.
It will become faster on AMD Radeon graphics boards.
It may be slightly faster on Nvidia GeForce graphics boards.
There is no difference in CPU calculation.
Because this isn't tested so much, there may be a bug, failure, or mistake.
If you see a problem, please report the incident.
I will try to solve as possible as I can.
  I fixed a few rare bugs in this version.
While most users were not affected by those problems,
those who saw the matter would better use new version.
If there is a problem still, I will fix as possible as I can.
I updated some help documents about Batch script.
I mentioned the location of help files in ReadMe text.
  I changed 3 points in my OpenCL implementation.
It's possible to test them by `lc` option at command-line.
Thanks [cavalia88, Slava46, and Anime Tosho for many tests and wonderful idea](https://github.com/Yutaka-Sawada/MultiPar/issues/107).
OpenCL perfomance is varied in every graphics boards.
If you have a fast graphics board, enabling "GPU acceleration" would be faster.
If it's not so fast (or is slow) on your PC, just un-check the feature.
1) Data transfur between PC's RAM and GPU's VRAM
2) Calculation over GPU
3) Calculate 2 blocks at once to reduce number of table lookup
  New version supports a PC with max 8 OpenCL devices.
Thanks [Yi Gu for reporting bug in a rare environment](https://github.com/Yutaka-Sawada/MultiPar/issues/110).
I didn't think a user put so many OpenCL devices on a PC.
It will detect a Graphics board correctly.
  I improved source file splitting feature at creating PAR2 files.
Thanks [AreteOne for reporting bug and suggestion of improvment](https://github.com/Yutaka-Sawada/MultiPar/issues/117).
When file extension is a number, it didn't handle properly.
If someone saw strange behavior at file splitting ago, it should have been solved in this version.
  I fixed a bug in verifying external files.
It might not find the last slice in a source file, when the file data is redundant.
Thanks [dle-fr for reporting bug and testing many times](https://github.com/Yutaka-Sawada/MultiPar/issues/130).
This solution may improve verification of damaged files, too.
When source files are mostly random data like commpressed archive, there was no problem.
