Nvidia Strengthens Scientific Computing Offerings With An Eye On Intel’s Larrabee

Nividia said Tuesday that it has added to its product arsenal for the scientific computing market with a design that packages three or four graphics processors in a high-performance computer workstation.

The new design is already being adopted in new models from manufacturers including Dell and Lenovo.

The move is a likely counter to Intel’s Larrabee, a high performance graphics processor that chip giant plans to bring to market beginning late next year.

Nvidia said its Tesla Personal Supercomputer will deliver high performance at lower prices for workloads in scientific research, auto design, and oil and gas exploration that demand it.
