AUSTIN, Texas----Arches Computing Systems today announced that it is demonstrating at Supercomputing 2008 the Message Passing Interface , running in both hardware and software on the Xilinx® Accelerated Computing Platform , a heterogeneous platform built around an Intel® Xeon ® 7300/7400 multi-core processor and a Xilinx Virtex®-5 FPGA-based Nallatech FSB-FPGA module. Just like the third wave - with more marketing SC08 The annual Supercomputing 2008 trade show kicked off this morning in Austin, Texas with a sales call keynote by local billionaire and sometime HPC player, Michael Dell. As chairman and once again chief executive officer of a company that's trying to make a more substantial run at the HPC area, he can be forgiven (perhaps) for giving a ...Michael Dell will present a welcoming session and keynote presentation today in Ballroom D at the Supercomputing Conference 2008 in Austin. Dell kicks off the busiest day of the conference, complete with more than 70 separate presentations and running until 7pm CST this evening. SC08 -- Today, scientific research is carried out on supercomputing clusters, a shared resource that consumes hundreds of kilowatts of power and costs millions of dollars to build and maintain. BOXX Technologies is leveraging its extensive experience in multi-GPU high-performance computing systems designed for cutting edge media creation to provide scientists, engineers and researchers with a GPU-based personal supercomputing capability. Hardware maker Nvidia has announced a new computer that has the power of a cluster of computers at a small fraction of the cost. Nvidia, working with several partners, has developed the Tesla Personal Supercomputer, powered by a graphics processing unit based on Nvidia's Cuda parallel computing architecture. Computers using the Tesla C1060 GPU processor will have 250 times the processing ...
