I think your priorities should look more like this:
- Tune all PHC finalists implemented so far for the same defensive use
performance as is seen for bcrypt cost 5 for their most optimal
implementations on "well", and use the resulting cost settings for the
new test vectors (replacing those that were in there before):

- Re-do GPU benchmarks with those settings. Possibly re-optimize.
- As necessary, revise the format name comments on all PHC finalist
formats implemented so far to correctly report the SIMD instruction set
in use, etc.
- Prepare some kind of report on the work so far, showing CPU vs. GPU
speeds for different cost settings and suitable for sharing it with the
PHC community. [ You had this sort of data for your early POMELO code,
but that spreadsheet was too cryptic, referring to our system names
without giving hardware specs, etc. ]
- Integrate the existing yescrypt code into JtR.
- Switch all other PHC finalists implemented in JtR so far to use
yescrypt's *_region() functions for memory allocation (effectively
keeping it out of the loop):

- Implement yescrypt in OpenCL. May take a look at the existing OpenCL
implementation being used for BSTY cryptocoin mining, and at Lyra2
authors' CUDA implementation. (URLs were on the PHC discussions list.)
- Consider integrating Lyra2 authors' CUDA implementation of yescrypt as
well.
Thanks,
Alexander
