Claudio,

Somehow your recent replies each start a new thread.  I am CC'ing you on
this reply in case this makes it easier for you to reply to the existing
thread.

I'm not confident either.

The primary way to program for MIC is via its native intrinsics (and
then we get to choose between fully native build vs. OpenMP offload).
I think we may achieve pretty good performance at SHA-512 and
sha512crypt when using the native intrinsics.
