Thanks. I'm curious, is there a certain class of algorithms that is generally difficult to implement in ASIC but easy to implement in a GPU?

Usually its about how much RAM it needs access to.

Password hashing algorithms (scrypt, argon2, etc) are generally designed to minimize the advantage custom hatdware gives.
