Subject: Re: [GSoC] building JtR for MIC
Hi,
I’m finally able to build john-jumbo for MIC. It can run on MIC now, but still has some problem. I’ll describe the building process first, and then how it runs.
Building:
There’re mainly three things to do: modifying the autoconf scripts, resolving library dependencies and modifying some source files.
First, I added a target for MIC in configure.ac and modified config.sub so it could recognize MIC. It took me a while to figure out the right configuration options for MIC.
When I started building, I found there’re some libraries that are required by john-jumbo but not natively available on MIC. They are OpenSSL, GMP and Zlib. I had to download and build them for MIC manually, which also took me a while.
With all library dependencies resolved, there’re still some source files that failed to compile.
One of them is mssql12_fmt_plug.c. There seems to be a bug in it (line 186), which results in the use of a undefined variable when compiling for MIC. It’s quite straightforward to correct it (maybe I'm wrong...).
Another file that failed to compile is pp.c (line 882 & 1835. This time it’s due to a bug in the Intel compiler, and it’s confirmed by Intel’s dev. You can see this post for detail: https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/topic/542900 <https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/topic/542900>
I wrote a workaround replacement for the code in trouble, and got the filed compiled.
With some other minor issues also resolved, john-jumbo can now be built for MIC.
Running:
I tried to run the benchmark on MIC (./john —test). It runs well for the first few benches, but then it aborted when running ‘scrypt’.
Here’s the output:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Will run 240 OpenMP threads
Benchmarking: descrypt, traditional crypt(3) [512/512]... (240xOMP) DONE

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
It seems the process got killed when running ‘scrypt’. I’m still looking for the cause of this problem.
Suggestions are welcome.
