More than 4000 hashes is supported in 0.7 - pause & resume not yet, though.

Hello,

Firstly thanks for the x86_64 Linux release :) running the application with the following parameters:
Code: Select all
./CUDA-Multiforcer-Linux-64-0.7.bin --hashtype=MD5 --min=8 --max=8 --charsetfile charsets/charsetfull --hashfile=test_hash_files/Hashes-MD5-Full.txt --threads 512 --blocks 512 -m 500

Gives me around "Step rate: 417.5M/s Search rate: 4175.7M/sec"

Although, I did note that;
* Only one core on my Intel Core i7 920 chip was being used
* Only one GPU out of the 4 in my GTX 295 Quad-SLI rig seemed to be used

I understand you are reconciling the Windows/Mac/Linux ports before you release source code, are you open to the idea of releasing it to a couple of "alpha" testers?

Regards,
mjc

It only uses one GPU core, and the CPU core isn't being "used" as much as "busy waiting for the kernels to complete so it can respond as fast as possible."

I don't have multi-GPU or actual CPU usage support yet (it only uses the CPU for some basic housekeeping tasks and then busy waits).

I intend to fix this in the next version, which will be a total redesign of the entire concept. You'll be able to use every system in your house/office to do the work. :) Including, if someone else contributes the code, both systems with ATI and nVidia GPUs.

Sounds great, can't wait to see the code ... I have a few IBM PowerXCell 8i (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_(microprocessor)) chips available and I'm keen to contribute some code to a worthy cause.
