	Hello, As some of you know, in this thread there is a discussion that SETI is testing its science app to utilise GPU. Is there any possibility or plan to do such a thing for charmm? Probably it depends on what kind of calculation will be done with charmm. Just out of curiosity. thanks, suguruhirahara ____________ I'm a volunteer participant; my views are not necessarily those of Docking@Home or its participating institutions.

	We are playing with the idea of having charmm run on GPU's or Cell systems, but since we would have to convince the Charmm developers of this too, it might take years...

That's impossible to be realised until GPU and Cell will widely spread and come to play an important part in crunching... Also, since these architectures are completely different, developers will have to spend long hours in rewriting sources suitable for them. Anyway, thanks though:) suguruhirahara ____________ I'm a volunteer participant; my views are not necessarily those of Docking@Home or its participating institutions.
