I suggest looking for the md5cryptsse function in sse-intrinsics.c. It
will probably look a lot more GPU friendly to start with. It starts by
preparing buffers for the 8 cases, computes the base fingerprints with
the "slow" md5 function, then runs into "dispatch", where you should be
able to see the logic.
