[gmx-developers] Re: [gmx-users] Please test the new Gromacs-4.5!

[Christoph Junghans]

Hi Rossen & others,

great work!

Btw., ohloh.net estimates the work put in gromacs as 406(!) person 
years, which have a value of $ $ 22,350,874
But see yourself: <http://www.ohloh.net/p/gromacs>
the code analysis is quite interesting, even it is says 57% assembly ;-)

Cheers,

Christoph

PS: Is there a change to get another 4.0 release?
