Oh, OK. I see we're not even skipping the last 3 steps for SHA-2, even
though we were already doing that on GPU a couple of years ago, but seem
to have lost that since. BTW, I think we might in fact want to revert
the non-iterated SHA-2 GPU formats to prior to Claudio's implementation
of hash comparisons on GPU, which mostly made things worse (way too slow
when cracking more than a handful of hashes - turned out to be unusably
slow in the recent contest). myrice's implementations worked better
(and IIRC had no GPL restrictions on them too).
As to hash reversals, we should revisit the thread referenced from:
http://www.openwall.com/lists/john-dev/2012/06/29/75
and we may also reuse BarsWF code, which is under MIT license (although
I suspect we'd only want the ideas rather than code):
