Hi,
my co-worker has come accross some interesting articles (links below)
about hardware accelerated regexp matching (using specialised hardware
or even popular PCI Express GPU cards). Has anyone thought about using
this in SA? The benchmarks done using Kaspersky AV are very promising...
SA can use compiled regexps, mayby one could use the very same API to
run regexp tests via the GPU?

Interesting!
www.sensorynetworks.com do a hardware accelerator that works with
SpamAssassin:

but this company, and their GPGPU approach is new to me.

I remember coming across this about 2 years ago now (I think they've
released two new versions of the processor since)... the dev kit was
something like $5k but I never got around to contacting them to find out
the important price... cost per PCI(-X) card for end-user use.
