So Cray wants to sell you (or your favorite researcher) a desktop supercomputer.

$25,000 is the entry, about $80K buys you more than 785 gigaflops of computing power using Intel Xeon Quad processors. Inlcude NVIDIA's Tesla graphics processors, and it will store some 4 terabytes of data internally. And you can customize and buy it on-line... Trick out your CX1 here...

See this list of blog entries on the new release.

Thanks to gamers, the desktop supercomputer arrives

Nvidia today unveiled a workstation it calls the Tesla Personal Supercomputer at the Supercomputing 08 show here. The Tesla sports 960 cores, delivers almost 4 teraflops of performance and costs less than $9,995. It achieves that speed and price by using four graphics processing units (GPU), each of which has 240 cores.

Okay, I admit I'm a gamer and the GPU stuff wouldn't help with Boinc particularly. But cool!
