Subject: Re: bitslice DES on GPU

That was exactly my gut feeling. Even if you find it in host addressable memory, it might well be a stale copy of what is residing on the GPU. And if you do get it working on a particular architecture, this does not in any way guarantee it will work on any other architecture. Or even on the same one, another day  o.O

Any change in the binary would not have any effect unless you release the kernel and create it again (which would involve a memory transfer again). But that of course involves the transfer costs.
