Loaded hashes+salts:
I remember from my previous post, I said the performance does not
improve a lot. I forgot to post my experiment. I will make another
post now.
Long password: Oh, I forgot to add to the priority list. I am
currently working on that.
Password Generation on GPU: I want to put it after I implement SHA512
format. Now SHA512 format only reach 22M c/s. When I comment out
set_key and password transfer from CPU to GPU, the performance reach
to 35M c/s. Though this test is not that accurate, there is a space
for improvement. I hopefully start this the next week.

6970 seems not lost high 32bit from Samuele's experiment. I just asked
Samuele to test. It failed on both CPU and GPU.
