Will Splunk work on machine using GPU in place of CPU ?

[abhinav_maxonic]

Hi guys,

I want to know, if I have a machine in which I am using GPU(Graphical Processoring Unit) instead of standard CPU. Will I be able to install and use splunk on that machine ?

The OS should obscure this detail from Splunk. As long as your OS is supported, you should be fine.

Hey woodcock, is there any official documentation related to this?

[koshyk]

completely agree to woodcock. OS should do that job. But the OS itself might find it hard and GPU does not have a memory management unit, so that you cannot give separate programs their own workspaces.
The issue is not related to Splunk itself, but a layer down below.
Good article is here

I have gone through this link, GPU is not mentioned anywhere in this doc.
