University of Antwerp builds desktop supercomputer with 13 NVIDIA GPUs
,----[ Quote ]
| Therefore they had to search for an
| alternative, and once they learned about
| GPGPU computing the researchers build a
| 4000EUR desktop supercomputer with four
| NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2 dual-GPU graphics
| cards. The results were stunning, for this
| niche application the eight NVIDIA GPUs
| outperformed the universityâs three-year old
| 256-node supercomputer with AMD Opteron 250
| 2.4GHz processors. Besides the higher
| performance, other major advantages include
| the very low cost (4000EUR for FASTRA vs 3.5
| million euro for the real supercomputer) and
| much lower power consumption.
