You can now mine coins that use the Yescrypt algo with GPU. This was not possible before. Below is some information. Currently GlobalBoost is the only active project using Yescrypt. Below are my tests.
I was getting the below hash rate on my PNY 750ti.
CCminer was around
800 h/s ccminer.exe --algo=yescrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum.coin-miners.info:3575 -u wigitgetit.1 -p x -i 0
SGminer was around
980 h/s sgminer.exe --no-submit-stale --kernel yescrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum.coin-miners.info:3575 -u wigitgetit.1 -p x --gpu-platform 0 -w 4 -g 2

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=775289.msg11274337#msg11274337We don't not expect GPU's to have a huge advantage over CPU's. As we have a base for GPU code now, we can get this code optimized. I thank you in advance for any testing feedback from the crypto community.
