On a side note, don't they have a Center of Competence for the Cell processor at Georgia Tech where they develop and promote support for the processor? Are they doing development for biological and chemical operations or are they strictly with raw computing?

Visit this post to see my detailed comments: http://www.simbiosys.ca/blog/2008/05/03/the-fast-and-the-furious-compare-cellbe-gpu-and-fpga/ The single sentence version: The FPGA is great for logic decisions and integer calculations, e.g. to be used for DNA sequence analysis, fingerprint searching, on the other hand GPUs and the Cell are better for floating point calculations, 3D modeling, docking, MM calculations, while QM can only be done on the Cell. There are also a number of subtle advanatges of the Cell over the GPU (see tdetails in my blog post). ZZ I’ve discussed this in detail on my blog (http://www.simbiosys.ca/blog/).

E.g. I look for toluene on chemspider, and then there will be a link that will load wikipedia and perform the search for toluene on wikipedia, without the user having to do it explicitly. Or are we going to have to manually put in each Wikipedia address? Any plans on linking a search on chemspider with its Wikipedia counterpart? E.g.

i believe there is a problem with the rss feed at http://www.chemconnector.com/chemunicating/feed

I only get:

msxml3.dll error ‘80070005′

Access is denied.

thanks for fixing that
