NVIDIA GPU powers the worlds most energy-efficient supercomputer!

On the 28'th of July 2013, NVIDIA proudly announced that their tesla GPU accelerators are in use in (scale to performance) the worlds most energy efficient supercomputer! Based on a list called the Green500. (This is a list that states the worlds most energy efficient supercomputers in the world). The actual system itself is known as Eurora. It contains NVIDIA Kepler architecture-based GPU accelerators, theses are the highest-performing, most energy-efficient accelerators ever built - this supercomputer delivers 3210 MegaFlops per watt! Making it over 2.6 times more energy efficient than the best system using intel cpu's alone! And whats more is that the second most energy efficient supercomputer according to the Green500 list is a system known as "Aurora Tigon", which also uses the same NVIDIA Kepler GPU accellerators. NVIDIA tesla GPU accelerators are designed specifically to be the most energy efficient GPU's in the market, and have stayed that way since they were designed. To read more click here.
