Nvidia unveils Tesla, moves into supercomputing By Wolfgang Gruener Wednesday, June 20, 2007 14:20 Santa Clara (CA) – Nvidia today announced Tesla, a third product line next to the GeForce and Quadro graphics products. The company aims to use Tesla cards and the massive floating point horsepower of its graphics processors to take over a portion of the lucrative supercomputing market.

It's kind of funny nobody on this board has responded to your message until now. Maybe re-stating the news isn't valued. 'lucrative' supercomputing market? Well, that isn't so clear given the number of supercomputer companies that have wasted away over the last 30y and the number of powerhouse computer companies that have veered around the market for the most part. Eventhough IBM has a presence, for example, they haven't bet the company on the niche. Actually, Nvidia isn't either. An add on project may help some applications, but at a complexity cost. I'd be more interested in seeing what a bank of 2^N Teslas connected by a proper switching system would do; but wait, isn't that a Cell processor? Nevertheless, if I ever get a job and have the extra $1600, I would buy the addin card, provided Seti would support it and it didn't screw up my Vista OS. Perhaps that's too many boundary conditions?

That machine is simply 4 x 8800GTX cards without a vga/dvi output.. The rawpower is tremendous ofcourse but we need to have a working CUDA client to be able to use that platform.. For now there are noone in the works as far as i know but a few people has started poking around with it.. Hope they will get it all working.. //Vyper  _________________________________________________________________________ Addicted to SETI crunching! Founder of GPU Users Group ID: 591722 · |

Nvidia unveils Tesla, moves into supercomputing well, that is a lot of reprogramming ... better solutions are coming :) who? ID: 592952 · |

Like this? ;o) Intel has a somewhat similar approach with TeraScale (though that doesn't use PRAM IMO) - the paradigm shift away from multi-purpose singlethreaded serialized computing to (massively) parallel and dedicated/not-very-flexible cores is really gathering momentum. Using GPUs as number crunchers will not really take off outside the HPC market unless some serious simplification happens (like RapidMind, only with better performance, for example). Regards, Simon.
