Hi! wolfSSL is ported to both the Cuda http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA and OpenCL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCL frameworks. These frameworks are for writing programs that execute on GPU’s, or Graphical Processing Units. Generally, GPU’s are used for graphics processing, but due to their high production volumes and low cost, they can be useful for math intensive computing. Early adopters are building super computers based on GPU’s for various purposes. For example: http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/09/12/16/2255259/FASTRA-II-Puts-13-GPUs-In-a-Desktop-Supercomputer. Search Slashdot for GPU for more examples.
wolfSSL is ported to GPU’s because it is a low cost way to leverage GPU compute power for SSL offload, and can be much more cost effective for building SSL appliances.
Let us know at info@yassl.com if you are interested in running SSL on a GPU. We’ll be happy to support you!
