Does any JtR format work with CUDA? If so, you're actually running 
OpenCL then (which comes with CUDA). Our actual CUDA support was 
experimental and only had a few formats. We dropped it years ago in 
favor of OpenCL as the latter is portable.

Other than that, the md5crypt-long format is CPU-only. You're supposed 
to run md5crypt-opencl and then (or in parallel) md5crypt-long with 
--min-len=16. We should definitely support passwords longer that 15 with 
OpenCL but no-one has contributed that and I'm too stupid to understand 
the optimizations so my tries have failed.
