Wondering how much the "moving data to the GPU" overhead won't help to make things significantly faster

I think that, with the emergence of OpenCapi and the like of CCIX, we will see more and more offloading to specialised HW as generic CPU are not able to cope with the required performance and amount of data. If you look at Infiniband roadmap, they plan to hit 1 Tb/S within a couple of years. And no core dedication a la DPDK will allow generic CPU to handle that. The heterogeneous hardware platforms are becoming the norm really quickly.
