I knew about the option, OMP_NUM_THREADS which can be passed at command line to configure the number of threads to be used. However, this works only on the Linux Platform. Is there a similar option available for the Windows version of JtR as well? Or is it hardcoded and needs to be recompiled for a different value of OMP_NUM_THREADS. I wanted to know if it is possible to do this on Windows Version. That would be really helpful. I will check the option, GOMP_SPINCOUNT and also see what it means :) Thanks. ________________________________ From: Solar Designer <solar@...nwall.com> To: john-users@...ts.openwall.com Sent: Monday, June 4, 2012 10:15 PM Subject: Re: [john-users] JtR OMP Questions On Mon, Jun 04, 2012 at 09:48:12PM +0530, SAYANTAN DATTA wrote: > eg. > bash$ OMP_NUM_THREAD=3 ./john -te -fo=raw-md5 > it will use only 3 threads. ...except that there's no OpenMP support for raw-md5 currently, so it will only use 1 thread regardless of OMP_NUM_THREADS. Oh, and OMP_NUM_THREAD was a typo (should be OMP_NUM_THREADS). A better example would be: OMP_NUM_THREADS=3 ./john -te=1 -fo=des Also, GOMP_SPINCOUNT may need to be tuned on a particular system. I recommend testing these values: 10000, 100000, 300000 (gcc 4.6.0+ default), 3000000, 10000000. No need to fine-tune it, so testing these 5 values should be enough. Alexander
