Tokyo Institute of Technology Builds Tesla GPU-based Heterogeneous Cluster

Host of worlds first GPU-based supercomputer on the Top 500 list, Tokyo Institute of Technology is doing research into the future of supercomputing. They have discovered that the GPU is enabling new possibilities in terms of performance and power consumption. With their high compute density, GPUs allows tremendous scaling and shortening of compute time from months down to days across demanding supercomputing-class problems.

Now that's what I'd play crysis on

The Tesla series is awesome news for computing.

@vapourmile gpgpu is good for computing

This soon will be very OLD...........

This thing obviously doesn't predict very well. *cough*

@j7x54 They do Already... All the UI tricks are done on it (At least on Mac OS, Linux and Windows 7).

I would love to have a super computer.

All the everything in my basement just going up through the floor to a tinny computer.

I would be like "SUCK IT neighbors"

[j7x54]

when will the gpu be able to run an OS like they do with a game?

[creptoin1]

we can't use more power because our gov. wont let us because our gov. runs the school and won't let us advance past any other country because then other governments will fear us and it would just make the world a better place when there is nobody better than anyone els and were all socialists and its perfect when you don't have to worry that someone wants to kill you and take over your country so you don't protect yourself!

and i'm out of breath..but does that make any sense? really!

New tesla supercomputers can reach up to a pedoflop if operated by pedobear.
