OpenResty on GPU machines?

Can OpenResty take advantage of GPU machines? If one implements expensive Lua processing, can one leverage the CUDA lua binding? Thank you

I don't see any problem with that. If you use CUDA bindings, it might be a bit more efficient to use LuaJIT FFI bindings instead of Lua C API bindings (the code will be better JIT compiled, Lua C API calls cannot be JIT compiled). If your CUDA calls block (pretty sure they will), then be aware that they will block the Nginx worker until they return. It may or may not be your concern, depending on your use case.
