Add a page on 'system requirements' or compatible GPUs

[jchodera]

It would be great to have some information on what hardware is required to run OpenMM

This would still be very useful, along with recommended benchmarks.

This gromacs paper has some great analyses that would be useful to repeat for OpenMM.

The website should contain just a short summary and link to a relevant part of the user manual, i.e. like the installation instructions. However, I cannot find there anything specific in the user manual.

We might not have a description of the system requirements. There are conda packages for

• Linux (x86, PPC, ARM)
• Mac (x86, ARM)
• Windows (x86)

At least the reference and CPU platforms should work on just about any computer made in the last ten years. OpenCL should work on GPUs from NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel going back almost as far. The oldest CUDA we have conda packages for is 9.2. I'm not sure what the earliest GPUs are that it supports, but fairly old.

If you build from source, you can probably get it to work on even more systems, though we don't promise anything. I'd expect it to work with CUDA 8.0, maybe even earlier. In the past we've build it for Android. It's also possible it would work on Windows on ARM. I haven't tried.
