The world’s first personal supercomputer, which is 250 times faster than the average PC, has been unveiled.Although at £4,000 it is beyond the reach of most consumers, the high-performance processor could become invaluable to universities and medical institutions.
The revolutionary Tesla supercomputer was launched in London yesterday evening.
The desktop workstations are built with innovative NVIDIA graphics processing units (GPUs), which are capable of handling simultaneous calculations usually relegated to £70,000 supercomputing ‘clusters’ that take up entire rooms.
‘The technology represents a great leap forward in the history of computing,’ NVIDIA spokesman Benjamin Berraondo said.
‘It is a change equivalent to the invention of the microchip.’
PHD students at Cambridge and Oxford Universities and MIT in America are already using GPU-based personal supercomputers for research.
Scientists believe the new systems could help find cures for diseases.
