NVIDIA Tesla GPUs Available in Dell Workstations
 SANTA
CLARA, CA, May 7, 2009 - NVIDIA Corporation, inventor of the GPU, today
announced that the Tesla C1060 GPU Computing processor, based on the
massively parallel CUDA architecture, is now available in Dell Precision
R5400, T5500 and T7500 workstations.
“The Dell Precision R5400, T7500 and T5500 together with the Tesla GPU
computing processors is putting the power of supercomputing on the desktop,”
said Greg Weir, senior manager, Dell Product Group. “We have seen early
praise for the efforts of both Dell and NVIDIA to bring an economical
high-performance computing solution to the most demanding customers.”
“National Instruments is developing the control system for the European
Extremely Large Telescope project, which upon completion will be the world’s
largest. To tackle this computational challenge, we developed a CUDA
interface with LabVIEW to simulate and control the M1 mirror consisting of
984 individual segments,” said Jeff Meisel product manager for LabVIEW at
National Instruments. “A Dell workstation equipped with a single Tesla
C1060, can achieve near real-time control of the mirror simulation and
controller, which before wouldn't be possible in a single machine without
the computational density offered by GPUs.”
Another community sure to benefit from the mass market availability of
this technology is the computational researcher. Based in the world’s
leading research schools such as Harvard, Cambridge or Tokyo Institute of
Technology, these researchers fight for time on a shared supercomputing
resource that consumes hundreds of kilowatts of power and costs millions of
dollars to build and maintain. Dell Precision Workstations enabled with
Tesla GPUs give each of these researchers their own “personal supercomputer”
- the equivalent computing power of a cluster, at 1/100th of the price.

organizations include:
