Subject: Re: [GSoC] building JtR for MIC

Hi,

I fixed the configuration problem and descrypt behaves normally now.

And after deleting some files, we now have over 6GB free memory space on our MIC card. Thanks to that, scrypt can run now. This time john-jumbo ran through a bunch of benchmarks, some of which FAILED although. It got killed again when running smchapv2-naive. I guess it ran out of memory again?

The output is a bit lengthy this time. So I put them in a text file attached below. Please see for yourself.
