I looked into the patch. You are using rpp to generate passwords on cpu
even though rpp was primarily meant to process rules which are very
similar to password generation. But if I understand correctly,we need
only the set of characters for each place holder that will be used on
gpu to generate the required password. I should find a way to do that
using rpp's format, right?
Also we need to parallelize rpp's algorithm of password generation for
gpu SIMDs.
