GPU version

The World Community Grid development team is starting to create work units for initial alpha testing. Their current issue is creating work units that can run on both CPU and GPU, rather than needing to create two different versions, which would add complexity to the project. The next step within IBM will be a security review of the new version. The work is ongoing and there's currently no estimate for when it will be completed.

So...they are working on GPU. Hope to see it soon.

Nice catch. Looking forward to another GPU application at WCG.

Looks like they are trying to do a COVID GPU project? That might be kind of nice if the credits pan out too. :)
