Just to update on this... We hope to have a multi-GPU version of AMBER ready
in a few months. EXTREMELY provisional numbers are on the order of 2.5-2.7
or so times speed up on 4 C2050's (vs 1 C2050) using 4 GPUs for JAC. This
will hopefully be released as a patch to the AMBER 11 code once it is
finished and has been tested.

All the best
Ross
