I have been able to run cmp_all() on GPU but the results aren't that good.
In fact we have little performance penalty with cmp_all() on gpu.
cmp_all() on cpu.
Device 1: Tahiti (AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series)
Optimal Global Work Size:524288
Benchmarking: descrypt-opencl, traditional crypt(3) [DES OpenCL]... DONE
Many salts: 51615K c/s real, 246609K c/s virtual
Only one salt: 28721K c/s real, 51609K c/s virtual

I think the overhead involved is too much and the kernel has lot of
branching(that depends on user data). Also the amount of work is very less
compared to overhead. One possible way to improve performance might be to
load all hashes instead of just one per cmp_all() call. But that doesn't
seems possible with current format.
Regarding the password generation for descrypt, I haven't been able to get
a fully working implementation yet.
Thanks,
