Agnieszka,

You should already have the memory (de)allocation out of the loop for
this. So you'd need to either implement it in some temporary way first
(like you have for Lyra2?) or complete this task first:

As to third-party OpenCL and CUDA implementation of yescrypt:

I've just recalled that there was a BSTY coin miner CUDA implementation
as well, and it's likely faster (but more specialized) than the Lyra2
authors' one. It uses some inline PTX assembly, but it's specialized to
BSTY's older revision of yescrypt and with some parameters hard-coded.
Maybe you'd be able to update it to current yescrypt and generalize it
for arbitrary parameters.
