FASTRA Desktop Supercomputer Developed With 4 Nvidia 9800 GX2 Graphics Cards

Friday, May 30th, 2008

I was surprised when i heard that a desktop supercomputer was developed using four Nvidia 9800 GX2 graphics cards. This is equivalent to eight GPUs. This, in effect, does the work of close to 350 CPU cores.

This architecture is similar to that of the PS3 Cell and therefore be used for the medical community and the likes that need this sort of computing power.

Did I tell you this is pretty affordable too?
