Low CPU Utilization - OpenCL - Reilly - 01-24-2018
I'm running OpenCL across my Intel i9 CPU and dual GPU cards. GPU cards are running at expected 50'ish MH/s, however, the CPU is running very slow around 4 MH/s with standard descrypt. I've removed, reinstalled, and made sure all drivers are up to date. I can't figure out why the CPU isn't running at the expected 45-50 MH/s.
Thoughts?

why do you expect your cpu speed to equal the gpu speed?
RE: Low CPU Utilization - OpenCL - Skwerl23 - 01-25-2018
Gpus are capable of up to 1000x the speed of a cpu. Depending on the hash algorithm it can run at 40mh/s on a cpu but will run 40gh/s on a GPU. Your speeds are as expected. You didn't post what GPU and CPU to compare. But if you run hashcat -b you can see how good each piece of hardware is in comparison

Thanks and sorry for lack of data. One area of comparison. With john (CPU) i achieve 40 MH/s for DES. That was a comparison I was looking for against Hashcat with GPU additional benefit. With a drop to support GPU management, I would expect, but not down to 10% of what straight John + CPU would give me. That's why I ask.
