Hi Jack,

Recently I came across NVIDIA CUDA that allows general purpose
computation on the latest nVidia GPUs. Do you think it'd be possible
to utilize the GPU for accelerating the cryptographic functions? The GPUs
are said to provide highly parallel SIMD processing.

Here's the link to CUDA:

Best regards,
