This testing is primarily to make sure the patch works correctly. The
c/s rate is also very important, but it is secondary (who cares how fast
the program runs if it doesn't work).

I took a look at these. The CPU one (somehow a 32-bit build?!) loads
4716 hashes, cracks 211 passwords in a little over 10 minutes. The GPU
one also loads 4716 hashes, but fails to crack any passwords in almost
12 minutes. Yet when you run "--show" right after that GPU run, it
shows the 211 passwords previously cracked on CPU.
So the cryptmd5cuda patch has at least two problems:
1. It does not recognize passwords previously cracked by the CPU run
(they should have been excluded from loading, but they were not).
2. It fails to crack any passwords.
This makes me wonder how you have been testing it so far. Just "--test"?
Please re-focus on making your patches actually work before you proceed
with OpenCL.
Thanks,
Alexander
