Thanks for clearing it out. Now I've got SunMD5 to work with OpenMP, and here's the result obtained on my laptop:
[Before]
Benchmarking: SunMD5 [MD5 128/128 AVX 4x3]... DONE
Speed for cost 1 (iteration count) of 5000
Raw: 605 c/s real, 610 c/s virtual
[After]
Will run 4 OpenMP threads
Benchmarking: SunMD5 [MD5 128/128 AVX 4x3]... (4xOMP) DONE
Speed for cost 1 (iteration count) of 5000
Raw: 1269 c/s real, 326 c/s virtual
Currently I only multiplied max_keys_per_crypt by number of threads. There might be more space for further improvement.
BTW, there's a minor issue I've encountered. See the following code (simplified):
--------------------------------------------------------------------
#if defined (_DEBUG)
static unsigned char input_buf[BLK_CNT*MD5_CBLOCK];
static unsigned char out_buf[BLK_CNT*MD5_DIGEST_LENGTH];
static unsigned char input_buf_big[25][BLK_CNT*MD5_CBLOCK];
#else
static unsigned char *input_buf;
static unsigned char *out_buf;
static unsigned char (*input_buf_big)[BLK_CNT*MD5_CBLOCK];
#endif
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Those three arrays have static size, but are dynamically allocated in a non-debug build. With OpenMP enabled, each thread should have a private copy of these arrays. If they're statically allocated, I can use a single clause like this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
#pragma omp threadprivate(out_buf, input_buf, input_buf_big)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
But if not, I probably need to do some explicit copying for each thread. Currently I manually defined _DEBUG for ease of experimenting. I'm not sure about the point of allocating those array dynamically. Is there some optimization involved? If dynamic allocation isn't necessary, I'd abandon it and keep the OpenMP code clearer.
