NVIDIA is now taking things one step further by announcing its new GPU-based Tesla Personal Supercomputer, which promises to deliver the power of a traditional supercomputer cluster at 1/100th of the price.

The whole idea about a personal supercomputer may seem to be an oxymoron to anyone of us. But it is actually a platform based on NVIDIA’s new Tesla C1060 GPU Computing Processor, which itself is based on NVIDIA’s CUDA parallel computing architecture.

The supercomputers themselves will come from a whole host of manufacturers that have already partnered with NVIDIA, including ASUS, Dell, Lenovo, and a number of more specialized computer makers.

The most important aspect is that NVIDIA tells us, the price will be as low as any other workstation PC and you may get to know about it from today onwards. Though we will have to wait a bit more to get a feel of the whole system.
