Hello!  
I would like to know if it is possible to boost X-pack machine learning with GPU acceleration (if not - other recommended means to boost performance for this kind of jobs?)

The reason I am asking this is because I am building a Machine learning rig and would like use elasticsearch as a part of the setup.

Thank you for a great product!

Best regards // Victor

At present X-Pack machine learning does not use any sort of GPU acceleration, and there are no plans to add this feature in the short term. The best way to boost performance using hardware would be to get a faster CPU.

Of course, you can also boost performance by changing the configuration of your machine learning jobs - by changing the configuration you may be able to detect the same anomalies but with reduced resource usage.
