In reply to questions on what hardware to buy for this particular project, ATI seems to have a speed advantage at the moment. I took Saschas ideas (thanks) on bitslicing A5/1 - and made an ATI implementation.
A standards ATI Radon 5850 card will now deliver > 400 chains / second at a sustained rate. Meaning a single table can be completed in 11 days. BTW why do we say we need 2^8.5 tables, and not 360 which is much more understandable to the layperson. It would be nice to have a simple progress statistics showing how many tables have been completed of the 360 instead of mysterious graphs with tiny writing along the axis. Code will be made available (probably through svn) Frank _______________________________________________ A51 mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lists.reflextor.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/a51
