I don't know why it doesn't work, I just tried it on bcrypt format, doesn't
work as well. I'll check it.

Results need to be copied from the shared buffer after cores signal done
and before new result is written to shared buffer. What might work is to do
the copying while computing bcrypt with new data. Although at the moment, I
don't have idea how to do this in practice.
