NVIDIA enters the top supercomputers list at #29

The Tokyo institute of Technology has built a supercomputer called TSUBAME that uses NVIDIA’s Tesla GPU. It is fast abundant to enter the coveted list of top 500 most supreme computers in the world (as measured by the Linpack benchmark). The reason for switching to GPU computing is clear:

“In checking our key applications, the Tesla GPUs delivered speed-ups that we had never seen before, sometimes even orders of magnitude – a tremendous competitive boost for our scientists

and engineers in reducing their moment to solution.” (Satoshi Matsuoka, Tokyo Tech)

It’s unclear what is the ratio within space, ability consumption and performance, but something tells me that we will see more of these.
