Link from the GPU page, link from the tutorials page. Maybe even have a
separate line for links to non-hashes pages on the main /wiki/john page.

Oh, I haven't tried any tuning yet. Please do (on bull) and add to
doc/README-CUDA. And post about this to john-dev, indeed.

I don't understand what you're referring to. I just took a look at
opencl_wpapsk_fmt.c and I don't see it doing much on the CPU. Can you
point me at specific places in the code?
Do you think my run on the 7970 was somehow CPU-bound? I doubt it.

OpenSSL is optimized reasonably well for its interface, but the
interface is not well-suited for password cracking. We have to make
three calls to compute one SHA-1 hash, and the SHA1_Final() call
probably wastes some time cleaning the "sensitive data" out from memory.
What's more important, it only computes one hash at a time, whereas with
the intrinsics we can do 4 at a time (on SSE2 or better), or even more
with mixed instructions for greater instruction issue rates.
So, yes, we should get much better results with the intrinsics.
Am I correct that we compute SHA-1 8192 times per WPA password checked
(4096 iterations, and two SHA-1's per HMAC)? If so, the 23M+ c/s at raw
SHA-1 that I am getting with the XOP code on one CPU core would
translate to over 2800 c/s at WPA. That's on one core. This does not
include overhead to implement HMAC and PBKDF2, though. So maybe
something between 5000 and 10000 c/s on this FX-8120 CPU is realistic.
