<div><font color="#1F497D">Possible options with open questions:</font></div>
<div><font color="#1F497D">TBB</font></div>
<div><font color="#1F497D"> - what is the required size for being efficient?</font></div>
<div><font color="#1F497D"> - microbenchmark results?</font></div>
<div><font color="#1F497D"> - if we cannot estimate it implement for simplest possible case in GROMACS</font></div>
<div><font face="Times New Roman" size="3" color="#1F497D"><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span></font></div>
<div><font color="#1F497D">Own (working name STS)</font></div>

<div><font color="#1F497D">Another call in 3 weeks to decide on framework. This allows us to start implementing and see potential problems. Of course if those are significant enough we might be forced to reevaluate the decision. </font></div>
<div><font face="Times New Roman" size="3" color="#1F497D"><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span></font></div>
<div><font color="#1F497D">If anyone has anything they want to find out before deciding and can’t do that in 3 weeks you should let us know as soon as possible.</font></div>
