hydra cannot run on the same hardware and this was explained in the past also by

He said that there are things that are cheap for hydra but very expensive if he
tries to do it on the same hardware that most use and that there are things that
are expensive for software on Normal PC so he even did not try to do it in Nimzo
but cheap for hydra.
