Combine CPU and GPU for cracking? - arkansawdave74 - 03-17-2022
Hello. I just recently found out about using an intel cpu for cracking and I was wondering if there might be a way to run an intel cpu and an nvidia gpu simultaneously to speed up a crack?

Just make sure that the drivers are correctly installed. Hashcat will automatically detect 2 platforms then.
Use -D 1,2 in your command to use both platforms.

Thank you, Sir. I guess that's why I never saw instructions....because it's automatic. Sure enough, it's working.

Hello,
I have the same question... But when I run
hashcat -I, I get only the GPU:
Code:
Successfully initialized NVIDIA CUDA library.
Failed to initialize NVIDIA RTC library.
* Device #1: CUDA SDK Toolkit not installed or incorrectly installed.
CUDA SDK Toolkit required for proper device support and utilization.
Falling back to OpenCL runtime.
OpenCL Info:
============
OpenCL Platform ID #1
Vendor..: NVIDIA Corporation
Name....: NVIDIA CUDA
Version.: OpenCL 1.2 CUDA 11.1.96
Backend Device ID #1
Type...........: GPU
Vendor.ID......: 32
Vendor.........: NVIDIA Corporation
Name...........: GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
Version........: OpenCL 1.2 CUDA
Processor(s)...: 10
Clock..........: 1708
Memory.Total...: 6144 MB (limited to 1536 MB allocatable in one block)
Memory.Free....: 3200 MB
OpenCL.Version.: OpenCL C 1.2
Driver.Version.: 456.71
PCI.Addr.BDF...: 06:00.0So, running -D 1 would run on GPU.
I tried -D 1,0 and -D 1,2 but in both cases the index is out of bounds.
What am I doing wrong?
Best regards,
Hendrik

Hello,
after installing w_opencl_runtime_p_2021.2.0.616 the CPU us shown.
Still, I have some issues, but they are not fitting into this thread -- I will open a new one.
Best regards,
Hendrik
