and here's pricing for a low end k20 (less memory): http://www.neobits.com/asus_tesla_k20_5gb_gpu_card_tesla_k20_gpu_card_fd_p4474580.html?atc=gbs&gclid=CPOJ4KXYq7MCFRQcnAodCCoAhw which I think is accurate from what I've heard going around. I think some of the other models will have double that o

9Mw huh? The better story compared to all of that gee-whiz nonsense, is to talk about how they're (hopefully) re-using that thermal stream. ie, is the district heating plant one hopes they've built next-door... -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Nathan Moore Physics Winona State

Let's see. PDF about K20 says: K20 gpgpu: "3x the double precision performance compared to the previous generation... M2090.." M2090 : 665 gflop. See: http://www.nvidia.com/object/tesla-servers.html A theoretic peak of: 18.6k * 0.665 tflop * 3 = 37.107 Pflop That's very impressive! Note i a

Tim someone reported me it doesn't have a floating point multiplication unit. Note that there is 50+ co processors like this around. In the low power area with simple cpu's, the only thing that matters is the price of producing it. It is very common to buy SOC's and use a co processor for sp
