Still fast for MD5...
I have a few other questions
What are the specs of that MD5 Len7 table and how long did it take you to make?
Also if i'm generating tables i'm assuming same index = same seed or is there some math involved to calculate the next seed? and chain count / table number doesn't matter since i can just merge them all providing seed value is same and chain length is same?
I need to write the tutorial...
The MD5 len7 tables are 200k chain length, and took me a few days to generate.
You do NOT want to use the same seed value for different table parts, or you'll just generate the same part over and over again! Let it choose a random seed for the table gen.
The point behind seed values is to allow deterministic generation for the purposes of testing, verification, and distributed generation (assign the same table chunk to different systems and compare the results). You really shouldn't be using it for normal use.
