SpamFoo Email Classification GPU Support?
Question asked by Bruce - Today at 11:16 AM

Really pleased to see GPU acceleration land for SpamFoo, that's a genuinely great addition and clearly a lot of work went into it. Does it also apply to Email Classification, or is it anti-spam scoring only?

Separately, when we tried Email Classification we saw it running at around 60% CPU usage. Would a limit like that be lifted with GPU acceleration so it can use the full GPU, or is that kind of limit independent of the hardware it runs on?

Thanks

It would benefit both, since both use models that benefit from GPU acceleration.

In regards to your second question, it does help the CPU a lot, but realize that most of the time that initial high CPU time is when it's back-analyzing existing mail in mailboxes. Once those are scanned, it drops down a lot in my experience.

Bruce,

Yes, the classification would use the GPU.  The initial processing of all inboxes uses whatever CPU is available, but SmarterMail is the priority.  It does not affect your mail services.
