Massive slow performance from 900 GH/s to 37 MH/s
#1
Hello Evyerone, hope you are doing well Smile

I am getting a massive slow performance on my crackstation with hashcat.

Indeed, I am running a crackstation with 8x Tesla Nvidia A100 GPU.

Here is what I get when running a benchmark for NTLM hashes
Code:
sudo time hashcat -a0 -m 1000 hashes/a.txt wordlists/finalweak.txt -O --force -w 4

Code:
Hashmode: 1000 - NTLM

Speed.#1.........:  116.1 GH/s (7.67ms) @ Accel:32 Loops:1024 Thr:256 Vec:1
Speed.#2.........:  116.0 GH/s (7.67ms) @ Accel:32 Loops:1024 Thr:256 Vec:1
Speed.#3.........:  116.0 GH/s (7.67ms) @ Accel:32 Loops:1024 Thr:256 Vec:1
Speed.#4.........:  116.0 GH/s (7.67ms) @ Accel:32 Loops:1024 Thr:256 Vec:1
Speed.#5.........:  116.0 GH/s (7.67ms) @ Accel:32 Loops:1024 Thr:256 Vec:1
Speed.#6.........:  116.0 GH/s (7.67ms) @ Accel:32 Loops:1024 Thr:256 Vec:1
Speed.#7.........:  116.0 GH/s (7.67ms) @ Accel:32 Loops:1024 Thr:256 Vec:1
Speed.#8.........:  116.0 GH/s (7.67ms) @ Accel:32 Loops:1024 Thr:256 Vec:1
Speed.#*.........:  928.2 GH/s

However, when trying to crack a single NTLM hash I don't get this power, I only get about 37230.6 kH/s. Since the benchmark said 928 GH/s it's a bit weird to only get 37230.6 kH/s

Here is the output I got when running this command :

I tried to find a solution by monitoring the GPU and got this result
Code:
[0] A100-SXM4-40GB  | 60'C,  0 % | 10860 / 40537 MB | root(10857M)
[1] A100-SXM4-40GB  | 53'C,  0 % | 10860 / 40537 MB | root(10857M)

[6] A100-SXM4-40GB  | 65'C,  0 % | 10860 / 40537 MB | root(10857M)
[7] A100-SXM4-40GB  | 55'C,  41 % | 10860 / 40537 MB | root(10857M)

I am wondering why hashcat only use 41% of the last GPU instead using all the GPU at the same time at a full power ?

I appreciate any help, thank you Smile
