Stanford previews new F@H GUI and GPU client at SuperComputing 2007

Professor Vijay Pande, director of Stanford's Folding@home project, has blogged that his team is demoing a new GUI and new GPU client at SuperComputing 2007. The new GUI is very fetching indeed, and no doubt will be welcome by those who like a little pret-tay with their world-saving.

Pande reports that the new GPU core "is looking particularly nice scientifically" but declines to provide an exact ETA for public release, other than "soon as possible".  ATI/AMD's software team comes in for some special loving notice for their assistance.

Meanwhile, as close observers of some forum sigs might notice, many members of Folding Nation still look longingly towards Santa Clara for some GeForce-flavored lovin'.  Stanford's Mike Houston reported recently on our forums that slow progress is being made, but it does not appear any announcements are imminent.

And, while I'm here, have you joined Beyond3D's Folding team? Hmm?
