Hello WCGrid members,
----------------------------------------The September 2011 update to the Help Conquer Cancer project has been posted. In this update, we announce work presented earlier this year at the High-Performance Computing Symposium in Montreal: the development of an OpenCL (GPU) implementation of HCC. This GPU version is currently running in our lab. We are pleased with its performance, and anticipate its eventual launch on the World Community Grid. Please be patient in the meantime. It will take time. A large-scale launch on a new hardware platform is tricky business for the World Community Grid staff, especially while juggling every other active project and new projects emerging from the pipeline. Thank you to everyone for your enthusiasm and interest in HCC, and your contribution of CPU cycles that make this and other projects possible. Christian A.

Thanks!!!
----------------------------------------It's great to have the rumors about the GPU application confirmed!! AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF 4C/8T 3.2 GHz - 85W AMD Ryzen 5 2500U 4C/8T 2.0 GHz - 28W Intel Z3740 4C/4T 1.8 GHz - 6W [Edit 1 times, last edit by Falconet at Oct 3, 2011 7:22:50 PM] |

Thank you for the update.
Very interestnig and much appreciated. HCC2 will run on CPU GPU or both? And"we have considered NVIDIA and ATI implementations for Linux and Mac OS" so it means that Windows, which is used on majority of WCG devices will not be supported. Thank you once again. |

Great news on GPU front. Will the NVIDIA GTX 470 be compatible?

It's very good news. 6x - 60X improvement is fantastic.

Great news indeed!
----------------------------------------Probably it's a new phase of HCC coming where it's planed to use GPU. For the current one is a bit too late I think. Is that correct?  |

I'm looking forward to this as I feel this would be a better use of my GPU when its idle then other projects.
