NVIDIA Launches Community Website Aimed at Biotech

http://www.genomeweb.com/blog/nvidia-launches-community-website-aimed-biotech

Today NVIDIA is singing from the rooftops about its new “Tesla Bio Workbench,” a community website aimed at spreading the GPU gospel to the life sciences community. Included in the site are links to resources for GPU computing, discussion forums, and a slew of freely available, CUDA-enabled GPU software. Currently, the site offers the following MD and quantum Chemistry applications for use of NIVIDIA cards:

AMBER
GROMACS
HOOMD
LAMMPS
NAMD
TeraChem (QC)
VMD

Coming soon are GROMOS, GPU-HMMER, MUMmerGPU, and CUDA-SmithWaterman. Of note here is NVIDIA’s attempt to show off its stuff with standard bioinformatics algorithms for sequence analysis, which are not usually thought of as benefiting from being ported to a graphics processor.
