Well, I know there are "one salt" and "many salts". I still think we have
to copy same bunch of passwords to GPU with each salt. Look at the code in
bench.c(function benchmar_format):
226 index = salts;
227 max = format->params.max_keys_per_crypt;
228 do {
229 if (!--index) {
230 index = salts;
231 if (!(++current)->ciphertext)
232 current = format->params.tests;
233 bench_set_keys(format, current, cond);
234 }
235
236 if (salts > 1) format->methods.set_salt(two_salts[index & 1]);
237 format->methods.crypt_all(max);
238 format->methods.cmp_all(binary, max);
239
240 add32to64(&count, max);
241#if !OS_TIMER
242 sig_timer_emu_tick();
243#endif
244 } while (bench_running && !event_abort);
With index > 1, (salts >1, many salts). We execute line 236 to set a salt.
Then line 237, in crypt_all, we transfer all candidate passwords to GPU
with just one salt that 236 set. Actually, we transfer same bunch of
passwords by "salts"(index) time to GPU. However, I hope we could transfer
all salts with a bunch of passwords to GPU. After these are tested, we
switch to next bunch of passwords. This is what you previous said that we
compute one bunch of passwords with lots of salts and then move to next
bunch of passwords.
