Hi Alexander,

I was comparing the statistics of DES_bs_kernel vs the pbkdf2_kernel. The
prime reason for the bottleneck seems to be insufficient number of inflight
wavefronts causing poor ALU utilization. For comparison the ALU utilization
of pbkdf2 is 3 times that of des. Also there are some other factors such as
LDS bank conflicts etc.

Also is there any specific reason for doing 32 hashes per kernel? Can it be
lowered to something like 8 so that the size of the data block could be
reduced to 16 integers. If we could do so, would it reduce the size of K[]
? Also is it possible to reduce the number of regs used by the sboxes ?

Regards,
Sayantan
