Partially.  I have since made the determination on which approach to go
with ("the 12 KB version" and not a version with separate targeting of
L2 cache).

However, you will in fact need to update jumbo's yescrypt support to use
that version.

I guess reading emails should be a higher priority. ;-)  Other than
that, for PHC you could update your JtR code to latest Argon2, which
changed quite a bit since what you integrated.  I think there are 3
flavors of it now, including a new flavor with a MAXFORM chain that I
had proposed.  You could also proceed to optimize it further - avoid
register spilling, try splitting the 8 parallel BLAKE2b's across
multiple work-items (combining their results via local memory, with a
barrier).  Did you see the thread on the PHC list about yescrypt on GPU?
It's a similar approach I am suggesting here for Argon2.

As to yescrypt, I intend to provide a new version to you in a week from
now or so.

Thanks,

Alexander
