Tesla brings super computing at your desk

American company NVIDIA has brought personal super computing at your desk with world’s first personal supercomputer ‘Tesla’ that offers high performance computing of up to 250 times faster than standard PC workstations.

At a price tag in between £4,000 and £8,000, the supercomputer is based on NVIDIA's CUDA parallel computing architecture. Powered by the Tesla C1060 Computing Processor, it can process information 1000 times faster as a result it would be a great help to scientific and research community.

The PC maker believes that with such efficiency, the supercomputer would calculate data much faster; as a result doctors would easily be able to process the result of brain scan much faster than the usual process.

Contrary to what a Supercomputer looks in size with huge machines, required a lot time and resource to build, Tesla Personal Supercomputer is more or less like a normal PC.

With the availability of such a high capacity computer to perform complex computations without entering into the lab, certainly, research scientists also hope that they can easily get into the remedy of cancer and malaria faster than traditional research.

“Pretty much anything that you do on your PC that takes a lot of time can be accelerated with this. These supercomputers can improve the time it takes to process info by 1,000 times,…If you imagine it takes a week to get a result (from running an experiment), you can only do it 52 times a year. If it takes you minutes, you can do it constantly, and learn just as much in a day,” said David Kirk, the chief scientist at NVIDIA.
