I've now created a comprehensive list containing all the Data Analysis Tools available for MacOSX here

It should be noted from the start that there are two main programming frameworks for writing programs that can execute on the GPU. [OpenCL](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCL) originally developed by Apple is an open-source initiative supported by a wide variety of graphics card vendors. The other major implementation is [CUDA](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA) developed by Nvidia and is specific for Nvidia graphics units. Whilst it is true that for several years CUDA gave higher performance recent developments with OpenCL have probably closed the gap.

I’ve compiled a listing of GPU-accelerated science applications here.

A great resource for those interested in doing high performance computing on the Mac

Organic Synthesis online, Since 1921, Organic Syntheses has provided the chemistry community with annual collections of detailed, reliable, and carefully checked procedures for the synthesis of organic compounds.

One of the neat things about having the search box on each page is I can see what visitors have been looking for. Amongst the expected searches for structure drawing or molecular modelling packages I was suprised to find that one of the top search terms was for reference management software. I had a quick look around and I could not find a list of MacOSX applications so I thought I'd create one here

ChemBioDraw Ultra:- Chemical Drawing Package
DataPlot:- Scientific plotting
iBabel:- Chemical file viewing/manipulation
Instant JChem:- Structure searchable chemical database
Marvin:- Cheminformatics
Moe:- Molecular modeling
