For blowfish I don't have much private arrays with compile time constant indexing. So I made a new kernel that process two hash together using uint2 vectors. I will later try processing four of them together using uint4.
I'm not familiar with BF at all. Maybe it's harder than ususal to vectorize. And I have absolutely no idea if it will be beneficial or not.
There is no SSE2 support in the CPU format, right?
