Description
Solar:
Oh, and another task: we need bsdicrypt in OpenCL. IIRC, I heard that oclHashcat got it recently, too (prior to bitslicing, but perhaps atom will bitslice it as well, if not already).
This should be easy for Sayantan since bsdicrypt is so similar to descrypt, except that the number of different salts is not limited by 4096, so supporting a mode without per-salt kernels is more important. It might also make sense to have a mode with up to 4096 per-half-salt kernels (the salts are 24-bit), with the other half of the salt bits applied at runtime (indices).

Research direction
Start by locating the existing descrypt OpenCL implementation and comparing it with the BSDIcrypt requirements described here. The work is done when BSDIcrypt is supported in OpenCL, including salts beyond the 4096 limit and any appropriate per-salt kernel mode.
