NVIDIA has announced that the latest IBM iDataPlex servers are the first mainstream high performance computing (HPC) systems to be built around NVIDIAR TeslaT 20-series GPUs. 

"NVIDIA provides an innovative solution for customers who push the envelope in high-performance computing," said Dave Turek, vice president, Deep Computing, IBM. "GPU acceleration provides performance boosts for many applications in energy exploration, science and financial services. It is

among the significant emerging supercomputer technologies to watch in the

years ahead." 

NVIDIA Tesla M2050 is a GPU Computing module integrated into servers that delivers dramatic performance benefits, while enabling maximum reliability and tight integration with system monitoring and management tools, giving data center IT staff greater choice in how they deploy GPUs. 

"IBM's adoption of Tesla for their HPC server line is the most significant milestone in Tesla history," said Andy Keane, general manager, Tesla business at NVIDIA. "Scientists worldwide can now access the power of Tesla and CUDA from the world leader in technical computing."
