I was one of the 1st to run gpu on the only project WCG did. Lets hope they get this going again as its very fast. If this does come out for GPU, hope you specify minimum gpu requirements.

Note the article in the WCG website News section, dated 4 Feb 2021:
January/February Update: OpenPandemics - COVID-19 Re. GPU version: "The process of porting the research application code to GPU is well underway as we work to ensure that work units function well and securely before they’re sent to volunteers. The security review of the code is completed." The GPU version hasn't been forgotten!  And fingers plus toes crossed that not all of the 25 compounds identified by OPN as promising, and are being tested, turn out to be false positives.  |

I was also fortunate enough to be able to contribute to the 1st project run on GPU too. I can't remember exactly how long it took a task to run but I know very quick and the project was completed reasonably fast after the launch of GPU application Will be interesting to see how much the project speeds up. Looking forward to it  |

Fantastic, I look forward to contributing my GPU to this project.😍
I wonder if this will encourage other projects on WCG to adapt a client for usage with GPUs?🤔 |

I just wish I could buy a GPU to contribute. Hopefully, they will come back in stock soon

Anyone know which types of GPU they are working on?
