It used, to I am not sure whether it is still the case. Please correct
me if I am wrong.

Are those GPUs identical (same model)?

There is no easy way for that as far as I remember, but what you can do is to
split input dictionary manually in percentage which you would like to
use and then use  --devices=
parameter to specify an attack for a given subset of initial dictionary.

You can list devices seen by John by using "--list=opencl-devices" parameter, so
you would know which GPU corresponds to which id.

Thanks,
