Yes, thanks. Lukas already ran some benchmarks on a similar device, but
I think he never published those, in part because the descrypt ones were
for AVX2 rather than AVX-512. We need to fix the code so that we would
use AVX-512 for descrypt - this might be as simple as treating __AVX512F__
same as __MIC__ in more places - perhaps in DES_bs_b.c and in some .h
files. Maybe you can fix this for and prior to running your benchmarks?
As to what benchmarks, let's start with a simple "--test" of the CPU
formats (treating this device as a CPU).
