Mike Houston, Folding@Home's GPGPU client developer has been recruited by AMD to work on architecture design. Houston is responsible for the support of ATI GPUs in the Folding@Home client and is a valuable addition to the green team.
AMD currently has much work to do on architecture design, Houston will probably be helping AMD with it's Fusion project and general purpose computing in future architectures of AMD's graphics division.
This is a similar move as the one Intel did a while back, when it hired Daniel Pohl for it's work on ray-traced modifications to Quake engines.
