[Oisf-users] Suricata / CUDA / nvidia m2075

[Dan Murphy]

Interesting.  Thanks for the info..  I'll take a look at the gtx titan.

My use case is live mode so I'll definitely be interested
in your results completed.  It's good to know this path is being actively
developed as well... thanks.  Now I feel a whole lot better
about giving it a shot!

Thanks,
Dan
