What features would you like to see the GRT cracker have?

Other than the semi-obvious "cross-platform support" - which I'm working on. It may be slower on 32-bit OSes, but I think I can make at the very least indexed tables work without mmap. And, apparently, Windows has something close to mmap (see below, my 64-bit rant thread).

I'm planning on multihash support, which will probably leverage multi-GPU stuff as well.

I've also got some ideas for smaller table formats that keep roughly the same performance - I think I can cut the table size in half for a lot of tables.

Any other feature requests for the cracker?

Well there's always OpenCL and CPU (SSE2).

Those are also on the list. One idea I've had is to write code that's compatible with Amazon EC2 for cluster compute. Or the Penguin Compute cluster if I can find access to that.
