(moderation:
I heard that bits of code for GPU crunching have been found in the latest version of BOINC available for download.
When will PC users be able to download a version of BOINC that supports GPU crunching? Will it be possible before December 2008? And will GPU crunching be possible for all projects on BOINC, or just for a select few?
