Not a good idea to decrypt on GPU with -hp, not at least on AMD hardware
with OpenCL (yes, I tried it ). This increases the GPR pressure and that
impacts the whole kernel performance, it's not worth it. What I did not try
is separate AES kernel post the setcryptkeys one, but I suspect kernel
launch latency and memory transfers would make the whole excercise
worthless.
I also had a look at crark's CUDA code and I don't think it's quite
optimal. Not quite glad with the speeds on my AMD hardware too. Porting
that to OpenCL would be a disaster, at least on AMD hardware, it's like a
quick port from CPU to GPU :) Too much loops, too much branches, byte
addressable stores, the SHA1 implementation is like taken from OpenSSL too
:)
Anyway I am working on 7z now, things are even more fun here.
