Nice, very worthwhile. I need to think about what I might want to throw at this.

Just seen the email about this, I managed to get some Beta tasks so already signed up to it.

Caches filling now (sorry QuChem) :)

Looks like we may be able to run this on GPU soon.

4. The researchers have been working on a GPU version of AutoDock, and their initial testing has gone very well. WCG's tech team will now begin their own testing and will provide more information soon. No ETA yet--stay tuned!
I hope there's some GPU beta tasks coming our way as well.
