It segfaults during self-test. The debugger ends up within the amdocl drivers. I suspect it's yet another driver bug. But I have tried it with 12.8 too and it did not help.

I have no idea because of the segfaults but I implemented the usual bitselects, rotate and stuff so if anything, it should be faster. Also, the split kernels reduces register pressure. Some other changes I made released even more registers. On the other hand we depend on global memory between the loop calls. That does not stop office2007 from doing 2.1 billion SHA1/second though, although that one has smaller global memory footprint than this one.
I'm planning to implement selective vectorizing too, like in my other recent formats. At least on CPU it should be a good thing. Perhaps on VLIW too.
