I can find many references to plan_class and even some listings but I can't find an explanation of them anywhere. Just for example, what is the difference between "opencl_ati_sah" and "opencl_ati5_sah?"

Thank you.

Hmm, I see this in the server config file section
NVIDIA GPU apps
<min_nvidia_compcap>MMmm</min_nvidia_compcap>minimum compute capability
<max_nvidia_compcap>MMmm</max_nvidia_compcap>maximum compute capability
CUDA apps
<min_cuda_version>MMmmm</min_cuda_version>minimum CUDA version
<max_cuda_version>MMmmm</max_cuda_version>maximum CUDA version
If properly set, it would make the initial default app selection better than it is now.

The first sends work to all ATI devices.
The second sends work only to ATI devices that are HD 5000 series and higher.

Ah, that make some sense, thank you.
