PARALLEL PASSWORD CHECKING

You can use perldoc to read this document: perldoc README.

Last update: 2007-09-07

Overview

The Dicop Workerframe has two operating modi:

Sequential

This is the default mode. In this case each generated password will trigger an immidiate call to dofunction().

Parallel

In this mode, which has to be specially setup in initfunction(), passwords of the same length will be gathered in a buffer, and when enough passwords have been accumulated, a single call to dofunction() will be issued.

This enables the dofunction() to check all these passwords at once, possible offloading the work to an external hardware or processor.
