This is confusing. Using 100000 makes no sense! It will be parsed as ns
so equals 100us limit for a single kernel duration. That's too short!
static void autotune_run(struct fmt_main * self, unsigned int rounds,
size_t gws_limit, unsigned long long int max_run_time)
I believe 'rounds' is purely cosmetical (it's used to show the --verb=5
figures). 'gws_limit' should be 0 for no limit. And max_run_time should
either be 1000 or 10000000000.
