Scripting using a GPU

>>61311987
Why exactly do you need to run a python script on a GPU?

>>61312030
I'm doing security work requiring billions of guesses a second which necessitates computation on a GPU.

Meant to include in the OP: Any other strategies on how to do this without a GPU are also welcome.

GPUs are not exactly like CPUs in the sense that you can just "run" a program on them. You have to write your program with a library like https://developer.nvidia.com/pycuda to send work to the GPU from the normal execution environment.

And those libraries can definitely work with strings or other data types. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31237286/making-a-multi-processor-string-evaluation-algorithm just for one example.

This is helpful, thanks. I need to include some libraries for hashing so I'm thinking the only way to do this efficiently (or at all) is to re-write the script in C and run it with CUDA the old fashioned way

Any other high-performance computing methods anyone knows about? I read something about using rainbow tables and an SSD somewhere I think

Why are you trying to use a GPU to bruteforce encryption?

Because I watched this video:

Obviously I'm new to this. What's the preferred method?

bump, interested to hear a response to this

Remember that strings are really just numbers.
Example:
Text:
Say Hello to My Little Friend

Hex:
5361792048656c6c6f20746f204d79204c6974746c6520467269656e64

You can append a letter by shifting left (x<<2) and adding(x+=51)
You can remove a letter by shifting right (x>>2)
You can extend appending a string by using the append letter function.
You can access each letter by diving and getting the rest of the string by modding
text[0] == 53
text[0..<n] == 61792048656c6c6f20746f204d79204c6974746c6520467269656e64

Just make your library to do the normal getter, setter, manipulators, etc using numbers.

Made this up...Don't know what the fuck I'm talking about...so don't quote me...

>running a python script on an nvidia GPU
Why would you want this??
Just learn cuda and make interfaces for the scripts

>>61316078
Correct, this occurred to me after making the post. According to >>61312241 it's not even an issue

>>61316270
You're right, it's a pain in the ass and probably not feasible anyway for my purposes. Cuda is the way to go

>>61314378
Again, I ask: was this guy memeing or is there a better way? It's not a particularly large keyspace at all. I'd rather not go the route of rainbow tables because I don't have 4+ terabytes of free space at my disposal, at least not right now

hey OP, if you can't into CUDA but can into multithreading, why not just buy some time on a supercomputer? It's not that expensive and writing code for it is - relatively - easier

>>61316078
what a wonderful way to overflow ints.
