Interesting!
www.sensorynetworks.com do a hardware accelerator that works with
SpamAssassin:

but this company, and their GPGPU approach is new to me.

I wonder why I have only SA support in seen their press release, no mention
in SA. Did they cooperate with SA on this or did they made SA support by
themselves?

Hmmm, I'm thinking sbout the same, if I could find support SA somewhere.
Unluckily, we use dell blade technology with special (non-PCI) slot and the
nodalcore cards don't seem to support it, so the only place for installing
it right now seems to be my own machine...

Have you heard of the OGP project? OGP = OpenGraphicsProject. It's an attempt
to build a fully open graphics adapter and chipset.
RSN they are going to ship the developer boards which is comprised of a PCI
card with a fairly large FPGA on it... That would give someone the ability to
create their own FPGA based regex acceleration... Or a project like SA to
create the code & ship it with the product...
I believe hardware is expected in a few short weeks. It has been demonstrated
already running as a simple framebuffer.

I remember coming across this about 2 years ago now (I think they've
released two new versions of the processor since)... the dev kit was
something like $5k but I never got around to contacting them to find out
the important price... cost per PCI(-X) card for end-user use.
