For bioinformatics I suggest dual or quado AMD Opteron(tm) 6376 CPUs, they
each have 16 cores. MIRA doesn't speed up much with the more cores you use,
I think the plateau was at 8 or 16, I remember someone discussing this. You
also need more RAM, 256 GB will soon be a bare minimum.
I would be very surprised if MIRA was CUDA enabled.In fact, very little
things are. I only know of a few bayesian phylogenetic analysis methods.
