would be better to pass a complete block (already padded), with these
optimisations:
- Only pass 15 integers, X[15] is always zero for single blocks, so pass it
as a constant
- Align X column-wise, eg X[(gsize*n)+gid]. This will make the kernel work
on AVX nicely, and also helped heaps on my old nVidia GTX-9800. (I don't
have a modern GPU that does OpenCL at the moment)
Hard-coding other parts of X[] works too (which is what I assume you're
doing) - for otp-md5 I created a kernel that passed X0 and X1 via global
mem, then hardcoded the rest of the array, but that's because it was always
8 bytes of input.
I haven't delved into the JtR source yet to see how easy this is to do, I
was mostly just interested because I wanted to hear how well the Phi worked
:)
