What gives? How come a gpu program would yield test results in more time than a cpu one? Am i doing something wrong concerning the gpu part? I only stick to default commands on both .. except that keyhunt BSGS uses as much memory as you want it to as long as you have enough for it .. which gives you a speed pump with every increase in memory allocation!
you need to know how it works
I am not an expert but I understand basic and overview (not sure I understand clear all)
kangaroo and BSGS both have some different technic and some parts same technic
kangaroo work like blind two people walk to hits each other if both walks hit your found key but if not never found a key kangaroo is a technic walk to hit spot it fast when using GPU but if blind walk in a small room with hit easy but both blind walking in a football field or in sea, kangaroo not use much memory on PC but using fast speed to walk that is calculated point to jump by use GPU make blind walk faster until hits
if kangaroo use wrong jump it will take time a lot and never hit mostly is still have a problem when walk in space
BSGS uses store million/billion points in memory that it is made to use more memory
babystep gientstep, babystep is small point quantity million point start if choose babystep large size will using large memory on PC, and then giant step is babystep to move next position next and next until cover your spot
point quantity 1 million lines using storage save on disk 70MB and point 10 million using space 700MB and 100 million use 7GB storage save on harddisk so, on memory it same if boomfile is large will use on memory large
if use a small size babystep will using time compare using 1 million and use 2.5 hundred thousand 4 time
maybe imagine using table in excel spredsheet first table is babastep and change the table to giantstep
or maybe imagine like raining in a small area and clouds move to hit your spot if large could rain in a wide area using large memory
gtx 1070 has 8GB memory
kangaroo uses GPU and use 8GB on the card
but BSGS use memory on PC if have 32GB or 64GB will be can use large size of babystep
first time I doubt why not make BSGS use on GPU for faster
try BSGS solver for Cuda ( Purebasic v5.31)
understand try iceland2k14/bsgs/v1_fastecdsa
Time flies, doesn't it? In fact, most of the people on this thread aren't around anymore.
