Hi Kennie,
I have been talking with the NVIDIA guys for a while. Specifically to
Massimiliano Fatica and Scott LaGrand. I didn't realize Scott used to work
for you. I have got them to request a development license for AMBER and they
have checked out the AMBER 11 tree and have been looking at the code for a
few weeks.
Mark Williamson is going to the OpenMM workshop at Stanford and I have
arranged for him to meet up with Scott there. Additionally Massimiliano and
Scott are going to be coming to SDSC for 2 days Mar 31 / Apr 1st to work
with Mark and I and give us a chance to go over the code with them and for
them to give us a crash course in CUDA etc. We already have several Tesla
cards that they donated to try things out on but to date I don't think any
plans are actually in motion except to provide them with the code and to
provisionally start up conversations. I was considering inviting them to the
AMBER meeting as well but thought the time frame might be a little tight. We
should perhaps discuss things at the AMBER meeting though and come up with a
consistent plan of how we would like to do things. If they are willing to do
a lot of the work that is great and I think we should really try to take
advantage of that.
All the best
Ross
