Steve,

I doubt all of that has happened. Was looking at food-crops and effects of rising CO2 and increased UV exposure due ozone layer damage, a reversing trend not expected until end of this decade, and increasing ozone at ground level and the imbalances of fertilization that increased CO2 causes. It's not looking good at all... more crop quantitative yield and less nutritional value [already identified in wheat], the object of this project rapidly annihilated. Soon we'd all be needing to eat fast-food chain quantities with happy, but bad fats and will start to look like couch potato elephants. The GM lords are saying praise on this since they'll be only ones able to quickly develop the seed material, which of course is sterile, so they can keep selling their stuff again and again at ever higher prices, putting the farmers and the world population at their mercy... and it's already fact, they're doing this!

Not a happy camper with this outlook upon humanity.

Hello All,

The Nutritious Rice for the World Scientists have posted a project status update on their website.

Tedi

Exciting update. Take a look at the project status update cristi.

A paper has been published in BMC Notes regarding the GPU acceleration of the clustering process of the analysis http://www.biomedcentral.com/1756-0500/4/97

"As a real-world test, we calculated the matrices for 6 different ensembles from NRW. The GPU method was 260 times faster that the fastest existing CPU based method and over 500 times faster than the method that had been previously used."

Unfortunately, http://www.biomedcentral.com/content/pdf/1756-0500-4-97.pdf

the CPU used was a "A single core Sempron 3000+ system" so the comparison is sort of silly, since the Sempron is based on nearly decade old design, and the Sempron 140 is $36, 2.7GHZ, compared to ~2 GHz for the 3000+.

So, is there an e.t.a. on a gpu client?

Not true, there are a lot of GPU projects on BOINC (milkyway, collatz, dnetc...) where ATI is much faster than Nvidia.
