GPU support for UNIX sha512 hash
I have GPU servers(16 GPUs) but I can't use them because of not support for unix sha512 hash.
Please fix it.

This would be a useful addition, especially for environments where significant GPU capacity is already available. With 16 GPUs in the servers, the main limitation here isn't compute power but whether the software can actually make use of that hardware for the UNIX SHA512 workload.
It would be helpful if Passware added GPU acceleration for this hash type and clearly documented which GPU architectures and drivers are supported. That would make it much easier for teams to size their hardware properly and avoid leaving expensive compute resources idle.
For anyone reviewing GPU capable server infrastructure for similar workloads, this ORM Systems server hardware page is a useful reference for comparing enterprise server platforms and GPU support: https://ormsystems.com/servers-price.html
Hopefully Passware adds support for this, because utilizing existing GPU resources would make a meaningful difference in compute intensive environments.
