I'm with you SHOPXXL-COM
----------------------------------------I just finished 2 years of HFCC, I'll try and bring FA@H and the proteome one up, while waiting for dengueII and CEPII. happy crunching   |

It sounds like really good things will come from this project. if these cells covered 0.16% of the surface of the planet, they would produce about an additional 20 TW (Terawatts, a trillion Watts), which will make up for the estimated increase in energy for the year 2050. This means that we will potentially provide the means to extend Moore's Law. |

I would strongly urge the developers of CEP to consider a GPU version of the software. My single GPU can crunch at least twice as fast as my Core i7, and I know there are many other volunteers with GPU's out there. The throughput could be so much higher if a GPU client were available. Personally, I'd devote 100% of my crunching time to this project as I believe nothing is more urgent.

Boils down to this: not every science is suitable for GPU. Search for Autodock+GPU for one example. While this project doesn't run autodock, it will probably be a short project (I'm guessing, since phase 1 was short: ~2000 CPU years). Even if GPU was faster for this project, it probably wouldn't be worth the resources to develop GPU science app for this. We'll finish it plenty quickly with CPUs. |

[Could cost me my
----------------------------------------For a project to launch on GPU sure it would require an X amount of work. If we take the 100x faster as what the RICE scientist posted about, 2 years project length [without making allowance for much greater investigation depth and precision] it becomes 7 days at same amount of volunteered resources... not worth it. Who knows: Is general accepted and implemented GPU crunching the end of the Grid in mass volunteering concept?

This article http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/358027/gpu-compil...ktops-into-supercomputers states that it is now easier to use the gpu. I think that the volunteers are donating thousands of dollars in electrical cost to generate the results so every effort should be made to maximize the number of the results.
