Otherwise I can get temporary access to a dual-device CUDA machine in a 
week or so, so I can do the pwsafe fixes. Feel free to pick any other 
issue you want from https://github.com/magnumripper/JohnTheRipper/issues 
(just tell us you'll be looking into it so we don't end up doing same 
things) or just implement a new format of your choice (perhaps one we 
have as CPU-only), or optimize an existing one if possible. CUDA or 
OpenCL, that's up to you.

BTW another thing you could try if you like, is CUDA auto-tuning. Many 
of our OpenCL formats auto-tune their local/global worksizes at startup 
(and we're moving towards using as much shared code as possible for 
that). All our CUDA formats currently have hard-coded threads/blocks, 
defaulting to figures non-optimal for high-end GPUs.
