Thanks. Here's what I got on 8800 GTS 512:
Benchmarking: MSCASH2CUDA [GPU]... DONE
Raw: 1580 c/s real, 1580 c/s virtual
After applying your john-1.7.8-mscash2cuda-0.diff, I changed:
mscash2_init(1);
to:
mscash2_init(0);
or it was failing trying to use a non-existent second GPU as far as I
could tell. Do you have two NVidia GPUs in your machine now? :-)
Running two instances at once, I got:
Raw: 784 c/s real, 819 c/s virtual
Raw: 934 c/s real, 961 c/s virtual
which is slightly faster (1700 c/s combined).
Overall, this feels somewhat slow - comparable to a quad-core CPU.
There's probably a lot of room for optimization.
Your 8160 c/s for a faster GPU is much better, though. :-)

Yet you implemented the on-CPU mscash portion of mscash2 in the .cu
source file - wouldn't it be cleaner/easier to have it in .c? (Maybe
this is how it should be. I am merely asking.)

How did you arrive at this estimate?

Sounds good.
Thanks,
