I love all those "scientists" who publish awesome results but do not
bother to publish any code, did they?

This is quite typical for all formats which use those magical
update,init,final functions taken from cpu code. This do not work well
on gpu at all. To achieve reasonable performance code needs a lot of
work, step by step removing those functions and replace them with
something smaller, with less memory operations, that do not use 8bit
types, fitted to password and salt max lengths, that can be vectorized
and so on. It is not an easy task but it is possible, maybe even then
it could outperform those claimed 100x.
