World's first personal supercomputer unveiled

Super computer for personal first in the world, which has 250 times the speed of the average speed of the PC will now be launched.



With the price tag of £ 4000 (exchange rate of 1 GBP = IDR 17588.81, meaning Rp. 70 million), Tesla supercomputer will be able to be purchased by consumers, but is expected to update the way scientists and medical professionals to be able to run their tasks better.

Advantages of these gadgets allow doctors to process the results of the scan brain and the body more quickly. This can help inform their patients in time than spend several hours a day if the tumor is found.

Scientists also believe that a supercomputer can help them find effective drugs for diseases such as cancer and malaria, more quickly than using traditional methods.

This is because they can perform simulations hundreds of thousands of times to create a list of drugs that have the potential to become effective medicines.

Until now, the system is a supercomputer that are made of thousands of machines that meet a room, which requires millions of pounds to create and maintain.

By contrast, Tesla personal supercomputers will be worth around £ 4,000 - £ 8,000, and will be seen as a normal PC.

David Kirk, chief scientist at NVIDIA, said: "How many do you process in the PC, including the stick will be more accelerated time with this supercomputer."

"Supercomputer this can improve the time needed to process information 1000 times faster!"

"If you can imagine to get the results that require times a week, you can only do it 52 times during the year. But the results only if the process requires several minutes, you can do it consistently and quickly, and can learn more in one day only. "

Supercomputer a new unit to process graphic ( 'graphics processing units) - the latest technology, which is claimed by some companies can provide a very fast speed for the home PC.

They were rushing to the UK consumer market yesterday, and will start to sell to the community and university science and research.

However, the PC manufacturer DELL, said will be too quick to sell supercomputer in bulk to consumers.

Eric Greffier, a DELL executive, said: "Previously, mobile phone sold very few, now we can not live without. It will apply to supercomputer same. They build the world's computer for a better future."
