Hello lhhung - Nutritious Rice for the World Scientist

Greetings.

I feel like singing after reading your update.. as one line of a Deep Purple song goes, "It's not the kill, it's the thrill of the chase!" However, it's the promise of a kill that powers the chase.

I'm excited to see scientists chase that GPU-based implementation. I'm excited to see scientists chase the science and technology that is behind the eventual kill. My ATI card is always ready to fire up for the chase!

Another thing, I'm sure you have heard of the approach to grid computing via tapping into human intelligence through video games instead of the typical approach of algorithms/iterations executing in a computer. In a way, that is similar to why Kasparov beat the BigBlue supercomputer in the early goings of a chess match sometime 1990's until BigBlue caught on and learned how Kasparov 'does his algorithm' and BigBlue won. I say scientists everywhere do this approach and not just rely on 'dumb' computers -- and GPU-based crunching seems to be the ticket to go there .

Good day

Any news now?

Ihhung, thanks for all your efforts.
As an old faithful Nvidia enthusiast I am on the starting blocks to use the Fermi based boards whenever you are ready.
The Fermi chip is the first really designed for number crunching, I hope you will have your software compatible with it.

When one tells something (the source), then it being heard and told on (second source), and then it being told on ("hear say" twice divorced), it soon turns from "we're running this in house" to "it will launch on WCG in the near future". No, my reading is: There are no plans at all to bring GPU RICE crunching to WCG.

sorry.

Please??
