john and multicore (update)
Hi all,
I just tried to run famous "john" password cracker on my multicore system. I
discovered, that john is using only one of my two cpus (100 percent). The
other one seem to work for other tasks (0 - 20 percent).
So, must I compile john in another way ?
Must I start john in another way ?
Must the source code of john be written in another way ?
Is it possible, to let john use all the cpus (and cpupower) for its task ?
Thanks for your quick answers.
regards
Hans
Update: It seems, john is using both cpu cores, but not at the same time.
