Probably not... The current GPU implementation uses CUDA, which is an
NVidia-proprietary software that they have written for their GPUs. As far
as I know, ATI has not released or developed an API to facilitate this kind
of development on their GPUs.
Furthermore, scientists/engineers from NVidia itself have had a hand in
helping the development of pmemd.cuda (Dr. Scott Le Grand).
If this is not the case, Ross may chime in here and surprise me, but I
believe it will be NVidia-exclusive for awhile.
All the best,
Jason
