What is Computer Forensics Using Graphics Processing Unit for File Searching about?

In this project, I conduct a research that strives to make a huge impact on the area of computer forensics. When performing various investigations the process of finding evidence can be a lengthy one in terms of time and resources. We felt it would be cool if we could somehow use a GPU to aid in computer forensic investigations, particularly searching for files. The objective of this research is to test the time efficiency of a standard search method, and compare the results with GPU multi-threading search method. My hypothesis is that the GPU multiprocessors will significantly reduce the time and resources it takes to go through with an investigation of searching for files. My hypothesis is that the GPU multiprocessors will significantly reduce the time and resources it takes to go through with an investigation of searching for files, rendering the time it takes obsolete so that the original, reliable evidence may be used for prosecutions, validation of misconduct, etc. The structure of the graphics processing unit is designed specifically for heavily, complex computations, compared to central processing units that are designed for memory and storage purposes.
