I don't know of any WCG project that uses such thing.

Leave it up to zarck ;>) WCG is a project hoster... it does zero point zero with any science software, except fitting it into the BOINC wrapper if some research team proposes a project, they have the input libs, fits within the mission, can be serial / random distributed in problem slices, it's of sufficient size so it will last say six months [which of course when a tech manages to suddenly make the app run 4x faster such as happened to CFSW, may not even happen] and more, so does WCG 'support' any particular piece of simulation software... not until a project proposer requires it.

Do i understand that right? is that something nonBOINC like Folding?

Yup. No idea why it needed plugging here when it was already clearly said that after HCC no other GPGPU projects are known to be in the pipe, none, and this software is seemingly aimed at GPGPU utilization.

What about outside of the pipeline? If a new project came along and wanted to use OpenMM, could it?

There isn't anything to support. WCG hosts project programs. If somebody writes a project program that uses the OpenMM subroutine library, then we can host it the same way we host programs that use different libraries. So support is not an issue.
Now, the subroutine library that I would push at every prospective project is BLAS (Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms). Algorithms written using this library exhibit all their potential parallelism, allowing easy compilation to use all the SSE instructions. And GPU programmers can (?easily?) decide whether or not to port the algorithm to GPUs. If more programs had been written using BLAS, we would see a lot more GPU programs today. Lawrence |
