Subject: Re: md5 hash comparisons
Hi,
Something that might be worth considering, is rather than checking
on-card, you could simply let the host sort it out.
I had quite a bit of success with this approach with some otp-md5
stuff I did, first because branches on GPUs are(/were?) really
expensive and second because gpu->host transfers are async so the gpu
can be computing the next batch while the transfer occurs.
I don't know the specifics in this case, but I was using the bdz_ph
function on GPU for searching (it has no branches in the lookup
function, if you have fixed-size keys), then xor the search result
against the computed value and ship to host.
Regards,
Michael
