Does Splunk support CUDA?

Hello,

It seems our demands for parallel and real-time queries in Splunk are increasing exponentially the more business users see it.

Now this is creating a resource problem on our servers. We're currently running about 20 queries in parallel at all times (ignoring real time queries) and we keep having to add more CPU cores in order to run more searches and correlations.

So to this end, does Splunk support CUDA? I'd rather to run more queries slowly in parallel than to have queries cancelling due to lack of resources.

Thanks!

Ken
