Hi,

By "manual unrolling", which I don't like, I am referring to explicit

Yes. It consumed around 20% of the total time.  The effect is more
pronunced on a system with very fast GPU and slow CPU like bull.

What speed were you getting without OpenMP for this portion?

I was getting around 73k without openmp.

BTW GTX 570 performance has been also improved to 25k c/s with OMP.

Also changed the file name from opencl_MSCASH2_fmt.c to
opencl_mscash2_fmt.c as requested by Lukas.

I have already sent a pull request.

Sayantan.
