it's on my to-do list, but quickly slipping to the bottom of the list.
it certainly looks like a promising alternative to VCL. and the team seems to be a bit more serious about OpenCL middleware than MOSIX, especially since they have a cluster on the Top 500 chart with 224 7970s.
it still has the same requirements as VCL (Infiniband, etc), with one additional requirement: the program needs to be built with MPI support. so if we were to get SnuCL support in hashcat, it will have to be built with MPI support. so what will likely have to happen is another dedicated binary, e.g. sclHashcat or something.
it's slipped to the back burner for us though, because we have something far more nefarious in mind for clustering
