What research are you referring to? I must have missed that. There's no magic with GPUs. There are good reasons why few applications/infrastructure components use them. GPUs can be useful for very specific workloads but not necessarily general purpose app server. Btw there are also some workloads that could benefit from leveraging some of the x86 extensions around encryption, vector computation, ... So it boils down to being more specific re: where you think it could benefit and why. Andi > The reason most things don't exist is that no one has a patch for it.
