Thanks, it works like a charm again :-)

Thanks.

Now as I could run the GUI again, I must say that it is getting into 
better and better shape, so we should be good with releasing it together 
with ViennaCL 1.6.0 and get a bunch of attention :-) Some more minor 
suggestions to make the GUI even better:

* I notice that the splash screen has some compression artifacts. Is it 
enough to just replace the respective graphics file with a higher 
resolution image?

* The benchmark-logo ViennaCL_Benchmark_experimentLogo.png is neat. If 
the 'V' gets tweaked a little in style so that it matches the font, it 
would awesome! Also, the red in 'CL' is on the other end of the color 
spectrum as blue, so it's worth to try colors 'closer' to blue, e.g. 
orange. Maybe just use black for 'CL', like in 'Benchmark'?

* The automatic benchmark result upload functionality is perhaps a bit 
rude, particularly now as all the NSA stuff has happened. What about 
asking the user at the end of the benchmark to upload (yes/no)? Also, as 
there is no autotuning available right now, we could just put the upload 
option on standby and wait for the autotuning to be added.

* The values for "Vector size" take quite a lot of digits. What if you 
plot "Vector size (in thousands)" instead to crop the unnecessary zeros?

I'll go over the routines for "Copy" and "Vector" to really benchmark 
device-specifics rather than ViennaCL-specifics. This should be 
straightforward - I'll ping you if I encounter any unexpected problems. 
Maybe I find some time tonight, otherwise on Sunday.

Best regards,
Karli
