This is what I'm trying to do . In fact I'm trying to simulate this
condition on cpu(before porting to openCL) but I'm kind of stuck with that
too. I have declared an array of DES_bs_all[] and also made some of the
necessary adjustments but certainly not all. I guess each instance of
DES_bs_combined is used for 32 hashes given that I set DES_BS_DEPTH=32. I
have also set the MAX_KEYS_PER_CRYPT to a multiple of 32. Now what are the
other global parameters that must be changed for such implementation. Or
is it going to be too complex if I proceed this way?

So, is it a better idea to use a bigger vector and then process the parts
of the vector in parallel?
