Password Cracking using CUDA $(30\%-100$ marks$)$

Using a similar concept as question $2,$ you will now crack passwords using CUDA. As a kernel

function cannot use the crypt library, you will be given an encryption function instead which will

generate a password for you. Your program will take in an encrypted password and decrypt it

using many threads on the GPU. CUDA allows multidimensional thread configurations so your

kernel function $($which runs on the GPU$)$ will need to be modified according to how you call your

function.

Generate encrypted password in the kernel function $($using CudaCrypt function$)$ to be

compared to original encrypted password $(25$ marks$)$

Allocating the correct amount of memory on the GPU based on input data. Memory is freed

once used $(15$ marks$)$

Program works with multiple blocks and threads $$ the number of blocks and threads will

depend on your kernel function. You will not be penalised if your program only works with a

set number of blocks and threads however, your program must use more than one block $($axis

is up to you$)$ and more than one thread $($axis is up to you$)(40$ marks$)$

Decrypted password sent back to the CPU and printed $(20$ marks$)$
