Since their discovery in 1982, millisecond pulsars have served as exquisite probes of fundamental physics. I will discuss the most transformative current application of millisecond pulsars: the direct detection of gravitational waves. Timing an array of pulsars could result in the detection of a stochastic background of gravitational waves, most likely resulting from an ensemble of supermassive black hole binaries. The unique capabilities of the Allen Telescope Array (ATA) will make it a very important resource for this experiment. The multi-wavelength coverage will increase sensitivity and enable optimal removal of interstellar propagation affects and the flexibility of scheduling afforded by commensal observing will increase the number of sources times and the cadence at which we can observe each source. I will discuss how these properties complement existing facilities and how including the ATA will increase the sensitivity of the international pulsar timing array.
