magnum, Frank - can you please help Agnieszka with the above?

What memory usage (per hash) does it correspond to?

OK, now it's same speed for both OpenCL SDKs.

What speed are you getting with the C + OpenMP code (no OpenCL)?  Please
test with GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY=0-31 and with OMP_NUM_THREADS=16.  These
should be separate tests, so you'd run e.g. these three tests:

../run/john -te -form=pomelo

and:

GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY=0-31 ../run/john -te -form=pomelo

and:

OMP_NUM_THREADS=16 ../run/john -te -form=pomelo

without saving these variables to the default exported environment.

> not vectorized but fast, should I worry about this?

Maybe.  Does your C + OpenMP code use SIMD intrinsics?  It should, when
available.  The POMELO v2 PHC submission readily includes SIMD code for
SSE*/AVX (128-bit) and for AVX2 (256-bit).  On super, you should be able
to build it for 128-bit AVX.  This will give you the performance
baseline, and perhaps it'll achieve much more than the 200k c/s you're
seeing here.  Then you'll need to worry that your OpenCL kernels are
slower, and make them at least as fast.  You might need to use explicit
vector types (perhaps 4x 64-bit) in the OpenCL kernels to achieve this.

As some point, you'll need to bring your code to build natively for MIC,
and run it on the MIC card (with 240 OpenMP threads).  Since MIC offers
only 512-bit intrinsics, but POMELO v2 has only 256-bit SIMD parallelism,
you'll probably need to choose between using scalar code and using the
512-bit intrinsics with half the vector width wasted.

Perhaps autotuning needs to apply not only to GWS and LWS, but also to
the 1-bit (?) choice of whether you use global or local memory here.
Perhaps what's possible and what's optimal will vary not only across
OpenCL devices, but also with m_cost, and with GWS and LWS being tuned.

Once again, thank you for working on this!
