New Gromacs Unit?

[wake6830]

My A64 3000 just got a new unit to chew on, p2008_bba5. It's not listed in stats, which is weird.

Anyone else get this?

It's taking me about 8 minutes, 5 seconds a frame. it's a 500 frame unit.

They are called GBGromics, and I forget what it stands for. I've been doing these for awhile, basically like 60-250 point Gromacs cores scoring wise.

Some where there was a high scoring one, I forget which one.

Projects 2008-2011
These projects are a statistical test of different ways of maintaining constant temperature in protein simulations. This will support research in other areas by allowing researchers to use yout processor power more efficiently. As with projects 2005-2007 bba5 is being studied because it is a small well understood protein with many common important features.

Points and dealines:
p2008 points 218, days 61; p2009 points 157, days 45; p2010 points 136, days 39; p2011 points 136, days 39;

Here's some info about the new Gromacs Core:

Are there other Gromacs-based cores? In addition to the original Gromacs core (core 78), there are two additional Gromacs cores: The DGromacs core (core 79) is compiled for double precision calculations, for cases where higher precision is needed. We use SSE2 in this case to speed calculations on CPUs which support SSE2. The GBGromacs core (core 7A) adds the Generalized Born implicit solvent to Gromacs; we have set this up as a separate core since this technology is still a bit experimental and we do not want to taint the main production Gromacs core (core 78).

Taken from their FAQ here: http://folding.stanford.edu/gromacs.html

These are still some relatively new WU's, probably been out about the last month or so.
