F@H GPU Client GPU3 - Will Boost ATI GPU Performance

Post by Apoptosis »

In a recent blog post by Vijay Pande he speaks openly about the upcoming new GPU client.
GPU3: Next generation GPU core, based on OpenMM. We have been making major advances in GPU simulation, with the key advances going into OpenMM, our open library for molecular simulation. OpenMM started with our GPU2 code as a base, but has really flourished since then. Thus, we have rewritten our GPU core to use OpenMM and we have been testing that recently as well. It is designed to be completely backward compatible, but should make simulations much more stable on the GPU as well as add new science features. A key next step for OpenMM is OpenCL support, which should allow much more efficient use of new ATI GPUs and beyond.
Looks like Vijay Pande is going to be giving some ATI folders some love and that is good news as the Radeon HD 5870 and 5850 are selling like hot cakes and are the video cards to own right now!
