After delivering BOINC on Playstation last year, the GPUGRID.net project is able to distribute workunits on Nvidia GPUs. PS3grid.net and the new website GPUGRID.net go along to create a large infrastructure for biomolecular simulations. Apart from GPUGRID.net, this was made possible by a strong collaboration with BOINC developers and in particular David Anderson at Berkeley and Stefan and Keith from the BOINC community, already moderators at ps3grid.

Currently this is available for Linux64; other platforms are to follow soon. To participate, you can follow the instructions on the web site at http://www.gpugrid.net/
