After some (well a lot) regression testing with nvidia and Intel CPU,
some issues where addressed. cf6f3457f seems to be a decent version. Now
another round of regression testing on AMD and others o.O
Current version has this in john.conf (might be a temporary feature)
# Initial local work-size for auto-tune (CPU devices excepted).
# 0 means let the OpenCL implementation pick a suitable value.
# 1 means query for "best multiple" (usually corresponds to "warp size").
# Any other value (eg. 64) will be taken verbatim.
AutotuneLWS = 1
We could add a couple other queries as 2, 3 and so on if we come up with
any good ones.
