Hi Royce, magnum,
If you are interested, you can test the new revision of descrypt-opencl on
970, 980 and 290X. There are three kernels and you can select them by
changing the parameters HARDCODE_SALT and FULL_UNROLL in
opencl_DES_hst_dev_shared.h. Setting (1,1) gives you the fastest kernel but
takes very long to compile, however subsequent runs should compile much
quicker as pre-compiled kernels(saved to the disk from the prior runs) are
used. Setting (1,0) gives slower speed but faster compilation time. Setting
(0,0) is the slowest but compilation is quickest. Also do not fork on same
system when HARDCODE_SALT is 1.
Regards,
Sayantan
