CPU version:
Bull's CPU -- 1139K c/s
AMD FX 8120 -- 1127K c/s
OpenCL version:
GeForce GTX -- 21748K c/s
Radeon HD 7970 -- 12787K c/s
AMD FX 8120 -- 3693K c/s
The performance compared to Dhiru's version is quite poor. I will probably
work on this in my freetime though.

Oh you are right. I lazily copied the loop in the kernel from below that
runs 32 times and never thought about this.
Changing this didn't improve the performance though.
3) I am curious what ISA code is generated by those macros:

In JtR's code where could I turn on the option that saves the generated ISA?

I would be interested to see this. What profiler should I use?

I like the task, it made me a bit more familiar with JtR's codebase and how
OpenCL code works with JtR.
