Do you utilize gpu's on this project? I got one, also checkpoints, do you use them. that is all.

Currently we don't have any GPU applications with RNA World and I'm not aware of any near-term plans to introduce such.

Unfortunately, checkpoints are an ever-recurring problem yet not conclusively solved. There are, however, some tutorials on how to setup your host with a virtual machine with regular snapshots to produce pretty good checkpoints somewhere in this forum. Maybe someone else can post a link to the respective thread.

GPU: Unfortunately, the algorithms we use, run slower on current GPUs then on CPUs. Thus, the effort of porting this algorithms to current GPUs is not worth the time. This may change in the future with AMD Kaveri / hUMA, though.

CHeckpoints: We are working on a virtual machine environment for the WUs which will allow check-pointing in the near future.
