Post subject: | 4,000 euro supercomputer |
:p These guys built a super computer out of a pc with 4 NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2 graphics cards. Total cost is under 4,000 euros. They say it outperforms a 300 CPU supercomputer made of core2duo cpus. I find that statement a tad questionable (300!?) but whatever. It's still neat. The article is here http://www.dvhardware.net/article27538.html Some pics http://fastra.ua.ac.be/en/images.html |

Pity there are no games that would make use of that power. Games probably lag like hell on it. |

Hahaha, did you guys watch the video explaining the system? http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=DnIvodB2R ... 27538.html If you ever want to see a Dutch nerd speaking English, this is your chance! Apart from that, I attended that University. Obviously I didn't have much to do with the medical faculty (read: nothing at all) but they were right next to us. Used to play squash there...laugh at all the skinny dudes. On another note: this is actually the future. Nvidia is working on a CPU that would combine the CPU and GPU once again into one unit, like in the days of old. In a couple of years' time we won't have the dichotomy of CPU/GPU anymore. |
