Hi Alexander,
I'm pleased to inform you that I have finished the implementation of PBKDF2
step on GPU (openCL). The code is primarily based on the sample program
that you mentioned in the earlier post but I had to heavily modify the code
in order to implement it on ATI RV790 architecture because of which it took
a lot more time than expected.
I have compared the outputs with the sample code you provided and the
outputs are perfect match.Also there is a room for lot more optimization.
One drawback I found is that due to very large length of code the
compilation(clBuildProgram()) time is a bit long.As I've already told you
that my GPU doesn't support byte_addressable_storage ,I had to improvise a
work around which resulted in lengthier code.
I'm attaching the unoptimized version host and device codes here.
Regards,
-Sayantan
