Nvidia Tesla Personal Supercomputer

The Tesla Personal Supercomputer is a desktop computer (personal supercomputer) that is backed by Nvidia and built by Dell, Lenovo and other companies[1]. It is meant to be a demonstration of the capabilities of Nvidia's Tesla GPGPU brand; it utilizes NVIDIA's CUDA parallel computing architecture and is powered by up to 960 parallel processing cores[2], which allows it to achieve a performance up to 250 times faster than standard PCs, according to Nvidia.

As of January 2009, the Tesla computer platform delivers the best performance among all stand-alone systems being used in some distributed computing projects like SETI@home or Folding@home.
