Using the GPU is particularly interesting, as they are cheap and widely available. We&rsquo;ve been looking at using the GPU to speed up pattern matching as a first step. Since OpenCL promises to be a cross platform multi vendor API for doing this we first looked at OpenCL. But we were never able to get something stable out of it, not on the NVIDIA drivers in Linux anyway. As that didn&rsquo;t go anywhere we decided to use CUDA for the time being. CUDA obviously is NVIDIA only. Once we have CUDA fully running we may revisit OpenCL or look at other implementations like AMD/ATI&rsquo;s stream API.</p>
