Only 3/8 GPU used
#1
Hi all,
I successfully got cudaHashcat running but it only uses 3 out of 8 nVidia GPU's in the system. I tried specifying -d 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 but still only 3 cards are crunching on a test MD5 hash. Is that normal for short masks (4 on the left and 4 on the right with increment)?

Also, I noticed that the speed is 100x faster with --gpu-async. The cards are brand new Tesla S2050's (not GTS 8800 or similar).

Status.......: Running

EDIT:
Using -n 800 and -gpu-loops=1024 I got one more card running, still not sure why the rest idle. Also, interestingly the speed is lower with the extra card crunching:
