Channelweb goes into the field to see what one California-based system builder is doing with Intel’s Nehalem and Nvidia’s Tesla processors.
The NVIDIA® Tesla™ C1060 transforms a workstation into a high-performance computer that outperforms a small cluster. This gives technical professionals a dedicated computing resource at their desk-side that is much faster and more energy-efficient than a shared cluster in the data center. The Tesla C1060 is based on the massively parallel, many-core Tesla processor, which is coupled with the standard CUDA C programming environment to simplify many-core programming.
AND THEY HAVE MADE A PERSONAL COMPUTER!!!!!
Features and Benefits
- Industry’s first massively multi-threaded architecture with 240-cores.
- Many-core architecture delivers optimum scaling across HPC applications.
- Optimized for scientific computing, delivering up to 15x cost savings, 20x lower power, and 250x the performance than traditional 1U rack-optimized servers or desktop workstations.
- Scale to thousands of processor cores to solve large-scale problems by splitting the problem across multiple GPUs.
- High-efficiency computing platform for energy-conscious organizations.
- NVIDIA CUDA Technology unlocks the power of Tesla many-core computing products.
- Seamlessly able to fit into existing HPC environments.
- Ideal for life sciences, geosciences, engineering & sciences, molecular biology, medical diagnostics, electronic design automation (EDA), government and defense, visualization, financial modeling, and oil & gas applications.
