I don't see why it would result in extra overhead for descrypt (and compared to what). Can you explain this in some detail, perhaps with examples? > So for descrypt I think we should generate one key on the host > and generate the remaining on GPU with each work item generating a > different set of password. I don't see how what you wrote here is different from the approach I had proposed. You're talking about generating a set of passwords (not just one password) per work-item anyway. > One key issue with this is fitting the mask with GWS. I had thought of this, and it's one of the reasons why I suggested the approach I did suggest. It lets us keep the portion of mask to search on GPU independent from GWS. Alexander
