One of the key advancements included in VMD 1.8.7 is support for GPU accelerated visualization and analysis, based on NVIDIA CUDA. As reported in several publications, the massively parallel architecture of GPUs makes them ideal devices to accelerate many of the computationally demanding calculations in VMD. The range of acceleration provided by GPUs depends on [...]

CAREER: Towards Interactive Simulation of Giga-Scale Agent-Based Models on Graphics Processing Units
This research investigates techniques for efficient simulation of large scale agent-based models (ABMs). ABMs are increasingly being used to understand complex multi-scale behaviors in many natural, built and social systems. Although ABMs have the necessary structure to capture complex model characteristics in these [...]

Nvidia launched its second-generation GPU computing architecture on Wednesday, code-named “Fermi”. Oak Ridge National Laboratory will design a supercomputer based on the Fermi, an executive said.
The “Fermi” announcement kicked off Nvidia’s GPU Technology Conference, which will run the remainder of this week in Silicon Valley.
Fermi will serve as next generation of CUDA, a programming architecture [...]
Interesting work. Keep it here as a reference:
