What would be most disconcerting would be a new project release at the same time as MCM on GPU

I am surprised to hear about the idea (implementation) of a GPU porting in this Project. Is it worth it? Since the project is no longer run as long is (about a maximum of 1.5 years) ! I have no Problem this Projekt to soon as possible to end. Sgt.Joe 's latest progress report indicates the first stage of MCM1 will end ~September 2015 at current rate of crunching. The project scientists have already indicated at least anoher three stages with the possibility of more: Initially, the research will focus on lung and ovarian cancer, followed by prostate, pancreatic and breast cancers. The project is designed to accommodate additional cancers in the future. Identifying all clinically useful markers would require thousands of patient samples and testing an astronomical number of marker combinations, which would be intractable even on World Community Grid. No shortage of work anytime soon even if GPU processing beomes a reality. |

. Uh, it's time for a new gpu? I think an AMD R9 270... I believe that the ATI 7970s are in the same ballpark with performance. I am not trying to turn this thread into a GPU comparison thread. |
