AtraxMiner
Features
Here's what it has to offer:
It's ultra fast - AtraxMiner implements the BFI_INT instruction, which can improve performance by 50-200%
It's as efficient as theoretically possible (that is, it doesn't discard any work unless that work would be invalid)
It's free, open-source software - It's available under the X11 license, and written in (fairly) well-documented and commented C++.
It loads kernels dynamically - If someone releases a more efficient kernel for our miner, it's as simple as dropping in the new kernel and using it.
It has a simple command-line interface - Obviously "simple" is subjective, but it's pretty easy to get started using.

Example usage
Install Easendmail, open AtraxMiner and wait until it will download all required kernels and it will configure.
To connect to a pool such as Slush's using our miner and Phateus's phatk2 kernel, you would use a command line such as:
AtraxMiner -u
http://USERNAME.WORKERNAME:PASSWORD@api2.bitcoin.cz:8332/ -k phatk2 DEVICE=0 VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=4
...where DEVICE=0 instructs it to use OpenCL device #0, VECTORS has it run 2-way vectors, BFI_INT enables the BFI_INT instruction in newer ATI GPUs, and AGGRESSION can be used to tweak execution size (similar to poclbm's -f)
If you want to tweak the askrate, (since the default is 10 without LP, or none with LP enabled servers) you can use something like this:
phoenix -u
http://USERNAME.WORKERNAME:PASSWORD@api2.bitcoin.cz:8332/;askrate=5 -k phatk2 DEVICE=0 VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=4
This should only be used on pools that don't support RPC LP or MMP.
