The Oak Ridge National Laboratory will use Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) chips to power what is likely to be one of the world's fastest supercomputers.

The supercomputer will in the long run pack as many as 18,000 Nvidia graphics processing units and have the potential to transport 20 petaflops of peak performance, making it one of the fastest computers in the world.

In the first stage of the Titan deployment, which is now under way, Oak Ridge will upgrade its existing Jaguar supercomputer with 960 Tesla M2090 GPUs based on the Nvidia "Fermi" architecture. These GPUs will serve as companion processors to multi-core CPUs in this Cray XK6 supercomputer.

In the second stage,, expected to begin in 2012, Oak Ridge plans to deploy up to 18,000 Tesla GPUs based on the next-generation Nvidia architecture code-named "Kepler," Nvidia said.

Jeff Nichols, associate laboratory director for Computing and Computational Sciences at Oak Ridge National Laboratory said, "Titan will be used for a variety of important research projects, including the development of more commercially viable biofuels, cleaner burning engines, safer nuclear energy, and more efficient solar power."

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) has a potential upside of 20.5% based on a current price of $14.78 and an average consensus analyst price target of $17.8.
