Nvidia Launches: Affordable Personal Multi Teraflops Supercomputer

Now you can get your own supercomputer to run number crunching cluster level computing task. This computer is up to 250 times faster than standard PCs and workstations. The NVIDIA Tesla Personal Supercomputer is based on NVIDIA CUDA parallel computing architecture and powered by up to 960 parallel processing cores.

It is built by various computer vendors. It is meant to be a demonstration of the capabilities of Nvidia's Tesla GPGPU brand; it utilizes NVIDIA's CUDA parallel computing architecture. Priced around US $10,000, these PCs may look innocent but they pack serious horsepower – a theoretical maximum of 4 TFlops of single-precision processing.
