(moderation:
Check out the New Scientist article here.
"The Scout programming language, developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in California, US, lets scientists run complex calculations on a computer's graphics processing unit (GPU) instead of its central processing unit (CPU)."

I'd rather not have a program doing calculations on my Graphics card...i'd rather be doing stuff more pertinent with it (ie playing video games)

I wouldn't run science apps in any chip when I need all the power. ;)

But I'm okay with running permanently on the CPU , yet have my reservations with running on the GPU, dunno why.

I want to speed up my Einstein@Home computations.
So, "Scout" is not interesting...
I want to use my Graphics card as additional processor.
Is it possible ?

You mean ProteinPRedictor? Is that the same project?

I am a wondered! Why my motherboard have only one AGP slot? ;D
It is a reality? I can run Folding@Home @(my GeForce3) and Einstein@Home @(my CPU)?

CPU have a 13 pending units, GPU - 15, fridge - 7, TV-set - 8, microwave oven - 4, HDD - 3, mouse and keyboard - 3&3...
Why developers made a client for irons? It's work only 15 minutes per day!!!

No, I mean Folding@Home. It's not the same project. Similar, yet not overlapping in the science performed.

Yes, they're working on one. It probably won't run on your GeForce3, and will most likely need some CPU to help guide the GPU.
There is a very long thread on the subject on the F@H forum. Of particular interest are the post in the thread by Vijay Pande, the project leader.
