Day 18 — clblake Research
Hey all! Welcome to CryptoCL.
A bit of a short day today, as far as this research project, at least. I spent about an hour to 90 minutes researching clblake. I went through the program and looked at how wfr was able to accomplish parallelism with BLAKE256. A lot of the code is setting up things for the program to utilize and calculate into the hashing function. A lot of blake256 functions were also translated into the blake256.cl file, to be used by the kernel. There is a lot of moving parts when it comes to this blake256 implementation.
Tomorrow, I will discuss with Dr. Marmorstein about the notes I took, and figure out where to go from there.
Thank you!
Kyle Jenkins.
Time spent today: 1 hour 15 minutes
