Most folks know that Psychsoftpc has been
making supercomputers for many years. In fact, our Psychlone Cluster Supercomputer, based
on SUSE Linux,
was our first product (and, yes, we were one of the first companies to support
Linux. We supported Linux before Linux was cool).
Well, there is a new, hot technology out now, called the "Tesla Personal
Supercomputer", essentially a supercomputer in a box, which makes use of Tesla
Supercomputing Cards, or GPUs, from NVidia, to enable people to have a single box
supercomputer right at their desk, and we just had to design one. So we are offering our
own version of the Tesla based Personal Supercomputer, the supercomputer in a box, the
Psychlone Personal
Supercomputer Tesla
see note featuring NVidia Tesla
Supercomputing technology (we just had to call it
"Psychlone", it's a tradition). To buy the one with the OS that's right for you,
go to our Psychlone Personal
Supercomputer Tesla Buy Now Page. It has all the details of what is in the box right there
for your convenience.
Speaking of tradition, you can expect the same
quality and attention to detail in this single box supercomputer that is present in her
bigger cluster sister. And of course, we are offering two models, one with SUSE Linux 64
bit Operating System and one with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit Operating System, because we
support freedom of choice in computing and have been supporting Linux since 1995. In fact,
we were one of the first PC manufacturers to pre-install Linux on our systems, so we were
supporting Linux, especially SUSE Linux from our friends at Novell, well before Dell and
HP jumped on the Linux bandwagon.
So, what can you expect from a
Psychlone Personal
Supercomputer with Tesla technology and what can you use it for? Because, let's face
it, cool technology is great and all, but if you can't do something useful with it, what
good is it.
Let's start with the Tesla Card itself, the
new Fermi based NVidia
Tesla C2050
card, the heart of the Psychlone Personal Supercomputer featuring Tesla technology.
The use of this card is what enables us to put supercomputing power in a single box the
size of a full tower PC that you probably have next to your desk right now, replacing
those racks of PCs in a cluster configuration, taking up all that space and electricity.Based on the next-generation CUDA
architecture codenamed “Fermi”, the C2050 Tesla GPU supports many
“must have” features for technical and enterprise computing including C++
support, ECC memory for uncompromised accuracy and scalability, and a 7X
increase in double precision performance compared Tesla 10-series GPUs. The
Tesla C2050 is designed to redefine high performance
computing and make supercomputing available to everyone.
Each Tesla C2050 has a Massively-Parallel Many Core Architecture with
448 Cuda cores
with
3 Gig GDDR5, Asynchronous transfer capability and
an upgrade to the previous generation's single &
double precision floating point units. Specifically, each NVidia Tesla C2050 gives you
over one Teraflop of processing power (515 Gflops with double precision) and
448
Cuda processing cores.
Combine
that with the Cuda processing power of the GTX 480 Fermi based GPU in the system
with an additional 480 Cuda cores and you get an impressive amount of processing
power in one PC. This
allows you to solve computationally intensive problems at your desk that traditionally
required a large cluster installation.
Okay, but what's in it for you? Well, with the
Psychlone Personal Supercomputer featuring NVidia Tesla technology, the supercomputer in a
box, you can tackle some of the toughest computational challenges around including drug
research, oil and gas exploration, prime number theory, computational fluid dynamics,
Geographic Information Services (GIS), weather simulation and computational finance right
at your desk, without waiting around for time on a cluster at your school or work. You
could even use it to help pick out your fantasy baseball team. And there are already
plenty of applications available for you to use.

Personal Supercomputer today. To go directly to our secure on-line store to buy, click

A note about us: Psychsoftpc, based in historic Quincy, MA, is a
maker of high performance personal computing systems designed with performance
in mind. We configure each machine using the highest quality components with the
attention to detail you would expect from a bunch of Ph.D computer geeks.
Founded in 1987 as part of an AIDS research project for NIH, Psychsoftpc started
out creating Artificial Intelligence Natural Language software using Neural Net
/ fuzzy Set Algorithms for DOD, NASA, NIH and the UN. That means computers that
can talk to you, you know, like in Star Trek. Disatisfied with the state of off
the shelf PC hardware at the time, the folks at Psychsoftpc started designing
and building high performance computers in-house to advance their research
efforts. It became a natural progression for us to start providing these
computers to government agencies and later to private sector and college /
university research facilities, and finally, to individuals looking for high
performance computers for gaming, graphics design and 3D modeling.
