So you'd need to either implement it in some temporary way first (like you have for Lyra2?) or complete this task first: > - Switch all other PHC finalists implemented in JtR so far to use > yescrypt's *_region() functions for memory allocation (effectively > keeping it out of the loop): > http://www.openwall.com/lists/john-dev/2015/07/05/17 As to third-party OpenCL and CUDA implementation of yescrypt: > - Implement yescrypt in OpenCL.

I've just recalled that there was a BSTY coin miner CUDA implementation as well, and it's likely faster (but more specialized) than the Lyra2 authors' one. It uses some inline PTX assembly, but it's specialized to BSTY's older revision of yescrypt and with some parameters hard-coded. Maybe you'd be able to update it to current yescrypt and generalize it for arbitrary parameters. Alexander
