Hi,

I am looking at creating Bitcoin addresses in OpenCL but I am wondering what is the best way to go about it.

Should I look to do all the computation of the address on the GPU starting with the secp256k1 keypair or should I only be looking at creating the keypair on GPU and the other functions on the CPU once returned?

I am new to GPU programming and I am trying to understand the costly part of the process. If anyone experienced with either OpenCL or Cuda could point me in the right direction I would really appreciate that.
