Dell "Personal Supercomputers" Now Available With Nvidia Tesla GPUs

comment Commentsprint Printemail EmailDeliciousDiggStumbleUponRedditFacebookSlashdot

To those looking for another venue to get their very own supercomputer, you’re in luck! Nvidia has recently announced that their CUDA-based Tesla C1060 GPU is available in Dell’s Precision R5400, T5500 and T7500 workstations effective immediately.

If you’re worried that just one of these GPUs isn’t enough to handle your hardcore needs, worry not – just one C1060 has enough power to control the main system of the European Extremely Large Telescope project (reportedly the world’s largest). According to Jeff Meisel with National Instruments, a workstation “equipped with a single Tesla C1060 can achieve near real-time control of the mirror simulation and controller, which before wouldn't be possible in a single machine without the computational density offered by GPUs."

avatarsame as a 280

it would fold about as well as a 280, this thing is just a vid card, just optimized for computing, not graphics. but folding can run our vid cards like one of these, so yes, it will fold nicley, and you dont need sli for more than one!

notice the lack of ANY output, it may be from nvidia, but its not for graphics. its for computing, called "parallel computing" check it out here http://www.nvidia.com/object/GPU_Computing.html
