For example, we showed a bunch of computational chemistry/bio/physics apps running on AMD's implementation (both CPU and GPU) at Supercomputing. You can also see around these forums that our OpenCL implementation is pretty good, although not without bugs.

Vijay was not sufficiently clear in that post. GPU3 is running CUDA on Nvidia, not OpenCL. The OpenCL port is not working completely anywhere (although I just fixed a bug preventing both Nvidia's and AMD's latest implementations from working at all...) and the base port was just completed at the end of last year. Now it is entering testing and tuning.

And, Brook runs just fine still, but it is no longer in active development by AMD, it has transitioned back to a fully opensource project as we said we would do.

I've updated the news to reflect last informations posted by Vijay and Mike.

By the way, it's true that first release of GPU3 won't run on ATI ... but that's only apply to first release and we don't know how long this situation will persist.

I didn't see the information Mike posted and I'd like to read the original source without translations.

Well this made me significantly sad. :(
I'm waiting for ATi client to make a comeback before I do.
