NVIDIA has launched Tesla personal supercomputer with up to 250 times faster performance than standard PCs and workstations. The new desktop sized supercomputer is based on NVIDIA CUDA parallel computing architecture and it is powered by up to 960 parallel processing cores. NVIDIA claims that the new Tesla supercomputer delivers the equivalent power of a cluster, at 1/100th of the price and in a form factor of a standard desktop workstation. The Tesla Personal Supercomputer is designed using Tesla C1060 GPU computing processor and it enables developers and researchers to user massively parallel computational power of Tesla through industry standard C.
Computer manufacturers like Dell, Colfacx, Tycrid, BOXX. AMAX, Microway, Penguin, Velocity and Western Scientific have started shipping Tesla Personal Supercomputers.
"Dell has led the workstation category for almost a decade and GPU computing represents a massive leap forward in performance that will bring supercomputer power to the masses," said Antonio Julio, director, Dell Product Group. "The Dell Precision R5400 and T7400 will allow the scientific community to harness the capabilities of the NVIDIA Tesla C1060 GPU with up to two teraflops of computational power."
