The problem was in RNDr macro. The loop that call the RNDr macro only cares
about the first line of RND (macro inside of RNDr), because a missing keys
{ }. After I fixed this small bug the performance is ~1.3K/h (also I have
replaced the memcpy by a own made function because it adds 0.2K/h,
increasing 8 bytes).
I'm checking the bug in the host code and I will move to asm ASAP, the
optimistic performance would be 1.7K/h. Not bad if finally the 1024 core
CPU is released.
Regards,
Rafa.
