Was used to seeing applications accelerated by graphics processors, but operating systems have not yet followed the same path. They can not delay: KGPU is a project to modify the Linux kernel that takes advantage of graphics processors built into our PCs. Open Source (Linux requires) project began in late March and is already bearing some fruit.
Its developers have well developed routines acceleration module encryption (AES) file system built into Linux. Developers have seen an acceleration of 3 to 4 times the rates in reading and writing. These figures were obtained on a machine containing an Intel Core i7 930 to 2.8 GHz and a Geforce GTX 480 reference (the development was done via CUDA).
This acceleration is not trivial, it is valid only from a certain amount of data to quantify because of delays due to data transfer process between the CPU and GPU.
