GDI Lord writes "BOINC, open-source software for volunteer computing and grid computing, has posted news that GPU computing has arrived! The GPUGRID.net project from the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park uses CUDA-capable NVIDIA chips to create an infrastructure for biomolecular simulations. (Currently available for Linux64; other platforms to follow soon. To participate, follow the instructions on the web site.) I think this is great news, as GPUs have shown amazing potential for parallel computing."

As someone who is interested in software neural nets, this announcement practically gives me a chubber.
And let me be the first to welcome our new Distributed Overlord. The lack of an 's' on "Overlord" is the exciting part of this article.
