I'm not the most technical person in the world but this sounds a good idea. I'd be interested to know what people think. cheers |

This looks like a very interesting development indeed. I do have some knowledge on specifications but not in the way they discribe it. The actual speed of the system is unclear to me and beside low power consumption a low pricetag would be nice too but they don't mention that here.
You might also want to take a look at this http://www.nvidia.com/object/personal_supercomputing.html this system uses the GPU with the cuda drivers. WCGrid projects don't support this yet but they are working on it. And the pricetag is only a few thousand. But there are other such systems just google personal supercomputer and you will find a bunch. |

I was most interested in the last couple of paragraphs.
I believe it shows why SSD drives be in data centers relatively quickly. |
