Yes. Traditional DES.
using linux-x86-64 to build on the new system.
Old system(single proc):
Benchmarking: Traditional DES [128/128 BS SSE2-16]... DONE
Many salts: 837094 c/s real, 838771 c/s virtual
Only one salt: 757606 c/s real, 757606 c/s virtual
New System(vmware 6 virtual procs):
Benchmarking: Traditional DES [128/128 BS SSE2-16]... DONE
Many salts: 14367K c/s real, 2403K c/s virtual
Only one salt: 11801K c/s real, 1973K c/s virtual
Nearly 20x increase!!
Thanks for all the help. Being new to OpenMP I thought I needed to install some additional software to make it work. Everything was already there.

Yes. You mean "Traditional DES", right?

Sure. The efficiency of OpenMP for that hash type is around 90%, though
(and that's assuming a 64-bit build).

Yes, it is cumulative, so it should start increasing very slowly.
I suggest that you run "john --test --format=des" for both builds (old
and new) to get an idea of how the performance changed. Also, you may
need to tune GOMP_SPINCOUNT (this is an environment variable) - e.g., a
value of 3000000 (up from gcc 4.6+'s default of 300000) works better for
some machines.
You may want to make sure your numbers agree with the posted benchmarks:
http://openwall.info/wiki/john/benchmarks
(if not, there may be something for you to tune).

You just press a key to see the status. It works the same in either
build, although with OpenMP the buffers are larger (so with OpenMP it is
more likely to see the same "range" of passwords being tested on two
consecutive keypresses).
