Subject: PHC candidates project - irc minutes
This thread is ment to gather notes from irc meetings - currently mine
and Agnieszka's but I believe solar will be involved too. Just the
major points of the discussion are published here. I hope this will
help in co-mentoring.
--------------------------------------#1
21.05.2015-------------------------------------
A: Found problem with self test on parallel-opencl, generated
(LWS,GWS) settings are not optimal.
L: Reviewed code and pointed potential root cause of the problem in
self-test parameters. Suggested moving discussion on john-dev, and
trying to implement splitted kernel.
--------------------------------------#2
23.05.2015-------------------------------------
L: Suggested viewing atom’s “Optimizing the Computation of Hash
Algorithms as an Attacker”
A: Agreed to do it.
--------------------------------------#3
24.05.2015-------------------------------------
L: Suggested making project’s wiki page to document project advances.
A: Agreed to do wiki page.
L: Sent link to OpenCL books (http://bookfi.org/s/?q=opencl&t=0) and
suggested focus on chapters about optimizations to find new ideas.
--------------------------------------#4
25.05.2015------------------------------------
A: Looking for suggestions about possible improvements of parallel-opencl.
L: Reviewed current parallel-opencl implementation and parallel pdf spec.
A: Considered making interleaved and later vectorized implementation.
L: Suggested simplifying the current one before moving to such tasks.
A: Suggested moving parallel loop to the GPU and keep the rest on cpu side.
L: Said let’s keep it simple for now and reconsider later.
L: Suggested getting rid of general INIT UPDATE FINAL SHA512 and
making an optimized version that assumes some input bytes be always 0
- no need to initialize them and also some result of some operations
is known.
