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?
AMD will present the first live demonstration of the world’s only triple-core processor, the AMD Phenom X3 and the 780 chipset in the Middle East.
They will also demonstrate their Spider high-performance platform, which combines AMD Phenom quad core processors with the AMD 790 chipset, to enable support for up to four GPUs with power consumption of under 65 watts, for superior gaming performance.
Gautam Srivastava, Vice President , sales and marketing and managing director for AMD, Middle East, Africa and Pakistan, commented: “Through our regional distribution partner, Almasa, we want to educate customers about AMD’s compelling line of solutions that are designed to empower a broad range of customers to experience the performance and multi-tasking capability of true multi-core technology.”
“Regionally, we are seeing a strong demand from customers who want a greater visual experience, by increasing the performance and multi-core capabilities from their desktop PC systems. With the expanded portfolio of new graphics solutions and the new CPU’s based on AMD Phenom Triple-Core and Quad-Core processors, we are meeting the needs of all PC users - from both performance hungry gamers to digital media enthusiasts,” added Srivastava.
Richard Widmark, one of the greatest actors ever died at a ripe age of 93. His exceptionally good style was as famous as ever. Some of his great movies include “Coma” (murderous hospital administrator), “Against All Odds” (lethal L.A. power broker).The movies “Pickup on South Street” and Jules Dassin’s “Night and the City” are also greatly commendable.
