Solve : Thanks to gamers, the desktop supercomputer arrives? |
|
Answer» The definition of a PERSONAL supercomputer goes something like this: It's INEXPENSIVE, can sit on a desk, plugs into a wall socket and is at least within jumping distance of the Top500 supercomputing list. By that measure, Nvidia Corp.'s new computer is one of the first arrivals in this emerging product category. Nvidia today unveiled a workstation it calls the Tesla Personal Supercomputer at the Supercomputing 08 show here. The Tesla sports 960 cores, delivers almost 4 teraflops of performance and costs less than $9,995. It achieves that speed and PRICE by using four graphics PROCESSING units (GPU), each of which has 240 cores. YouTube video on it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUGUCaxrrL0 Link |
