+By setting the following environment variables before the miner is started OpenCl allows the miner to more threads.
+This variables must be set each time before the miner is started else it could be that the miner can not allocate enough memory and is crashing.
+
+```
+export GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=1
+export GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=99
+export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=99
+export GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT=99
+```

+*Note:* Windows user must use `set` instead of `export` to define an environment variable.
