The desktop workstations are built with innovative NVIDIA graphics processing units (GPUs), which are capable of handling simultaneous calculations usually relegated to £70,000 supercomputing ‘clusters’ that take up entire rooms.
‘The technology represents a great leap forward in the history of computing,’ NVIDIA spokesman Benjamin Berraondo said “It is a change equivalent to the invention of the microchip”
GPU-based Personal Supercomputer already being used by PHD students at Cambridge and Oxford Universities and MIT in America for research.
The new system are believed by many Scientists can help people find cures for diseases.
