According to the latest
F@H statistics, graphics cards processors are pretty much
outperforming traditional CPU’s.
The current factor is about 75 GFlops on GPU against an average of
1GFlops on a CPU. (this varies because of very old processors and
modern processors with about 14 GFlops).

Anyway at the moment we see 370 GPUs doing the same amount of work
as 29000 CPUs. This is really great for the F@H project, although the GPU
cores at the moment are only capable of doing basic calculations
with the gromacs application. Other applications have to be heavily
rewritten, and/or are not able to run every calculation on GPUs and
therefore have to use the main CPU for those parts of the
calculation.
