Subject: Re: bitslice DES on GPU
Hi Sayantan,
I'm sorry I have no time to seriously look into this sub-project lately.

Great. Does this no longer cause a slowdown?

I think it's premature. In fact, I think that several of your recent
optimizations were premature (I'm sorry I did not have time to comment).
What use is speeding it up by a few percent when it's like 10x slower
than expected? Well, you may do that to make it a bit more useful
temporarily, until we have time to seriously look into the bottlenecks
and hopefully resolve them.

Of these, under the current formats interface, only cmp_all() is likely
reasonable to have on GPU. Further speedup in this area is possible
once we integrate the formats interface changes that I implemented for
myrice's work this summer (they're not committed yet, except to myrice's
experimental trees).
Thanks,
Alexander
