Nvidia’s Tesla cards are getting into gear, as Acceleware becomes one of the first companies to be offering a deskside supercomputer that can approach a performance of 2 TFlops.

It is no secret that general purpose graphics processor (GPGPU) are likely to play a more and more important role in next-generation supercomputing solutions. A first glimpse what these systems may be able to do is offered by Acceleware’s ClusterinABox systems, which are demonstrated at the SuperComputing 2007 conference.
