GPUPI - SuperPI on the GPU
In the last few weeks I've been working on a benchmark to calculate pi on graphics cards. It's an idea that's in my head for some years now, but I couldn't put it to life until now. Somehow the death of our beloved Turrican inspired me - I wanted to do something good, something that matters. So I tried hard and it finally worked out. I want to dedicate this benchmark to Turrican, like a virtual monument to never forget his legend. A benchmark in his honour.

Fair warning: GPUPI 3.3 is now officially available and will give a decent speedup on all calculations. I'd like to clarify the reasons behind this, because I know that means some rebenching might be necessary for the top ranks.
It's the first time since GPUPI 1.x that I changed code inside the calculation kernel. Yes, GPUPI had some speed increases before but only because new hardware was officially supported/optimized or new CUDA/OpenCL versions got new features that GPUPI could use for i
