Subject: Re: [GSoC] building JtR for MIC
Hi,
I tried to tweak OpenSSL's build options for MIC, but this issue still exists, even using the same options as target x86_64 (except for adding "-mmic" and disabling assembly code).
Out of curiosity, I gave LibreSSL a try. I managed to build LibreSSL (the latest stable version) for MIC, and linked it with john-jumbo in place of OpenSSL. Surprisingly, the issue was gone. I reran the benchmark on MIC with the relinked john-jumbo, and it PASSED all the tests!
So far LibreSSL seems more friendly to MIC. Maybe we could use LibreSSL instead of OpenSSL when building for MIC? Either way, the SSL library need to be built manually.
