the torrents listed are currently only the old lo-tech tables that do not take advantage of the shrinking keystream during the 100 extra clockings. These tables work fine, although slower and since our new hi-tech tableset is nearly complete (in only 8 gpu months instead of the original 240), they can be considered obsolete or can be used to increase the success probability. The black box carried our new table set. the sort2.cpp is applied to the 256 buckets of unsorted chains that are generated (each bucket contains only chains where the most significant 8 bits are the same as the bucket number), thats why it is called sort2, cause in this second stage of the sorting process, each bucket is sorted in RAM. Note that the table size shrinks from ~60GB to ~50GB in stage 3 (after SSDwriter is applied) and that is also the format of the tables on the black box for obvious reasons. To the best of my knowledge TableSorter.cpp is only used for the old table format.
Also note that a5lookup.cpp is only a proof of concept cpu based implementation and is horribly slow. The real deal gpu lookup code is still under development. The port of the heavy framework to ati gpus turned out to be messy causing quite some delay. The timeline is: finish ati port for generation (almost there), lookup on ati gpus for new table format, then ati lookup for old table format (quite trivial then), making the nvidia code work again. Good news is the code is already written, bad news is that debugging always takes more time than coding. >Is this http://reflextor.com/torrents/ an obsolete list of tables?
