I've just tried this (for phpass) and it didn't result in MADs being
generated. Instead, I saw the ADDs instead of ORs (indeed), and the
only advantage was from the ADDs being sometimes re-ordered with other
ADDs that we genuinely have in MD5. (BTW, this optimization may thus be
helpful on CPUs as well - giving the compiler more instruction scheduling
freedom.) I was compiling with "-arch=sm_21", and there were a couple
of other (unrelated) 32-bit signed int MADs in the resulting code (if I
read it correctly). I've even tried deliberately using a signed int
there (as opposed to unsigned) - this did not help. Any idea why I
wasn't getting MADs for this, or how I tell the compiler to use a MAD
more explicitly?
Lukas - meanwhile, I got phpass to 710k c/s on my GTX-570 1600 MHz (up
from 633k that I reported before) by moving from sm_10 to sm_20 or sm_21
for the generated code (the latter is apparently not valid for my card,
but happens to work - I guess the same code was generated as for sm_20)
and by increasing BLOCKS from 126*3 to 160*3. I guess 126 was tuned for
GTX-560, right? This new speed is slightly higher than the published
speed for hashcat on an equivalent graphics card.
The sm_10 to sm_20 change made cryptmd5-cuda slightly slower, though.
