Version 1.1.0

This release integrates many smaller changes that have been made over the past year.

The most significant new features are:

• The NCUObserver to include performance metrics from the Nvidia Profiler during tuning
• TegraObserver to read/set clock frequencies, power and temperature on Nvidia Jetson GPUs

In addition, a lot of work has been put into several backends, including OpenACC, the compiler backend, the HIP backend and so on.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to Kernel Tuner in the past year!
