Hi people,
we plan to buy some computer mostly for gromacs, so I want to ask you for some hints. I'd tried to do some research, but no success. :(

Have someone ever compared AMD Bulldozer and Sandy/Ivy Bridge architectures? Are there planed any optimizations in gmx core in asm parts? (if there are need). Most interesting for me whould be to compare FX-8150 and i5-2550, I7-2600, i7-3570K or i7-3770 processors.

GPGPU - are there some real plans for supporting Radeon GPUs? Because OpenMP 3.x supports them - but I don't have any idea how complicate is to use newer OpenMP in GMX (and another work about it).

And are there bigger differences (if someone knows) in use 1 Gbps onboard NIC vs. "better"? add-on NIC cards e.g. Intel Pro/1000 CT or similar? In MPI calculations with use 4 to 8 cores per computing node.


Thanks a lot.

Milan Melichercik
