170 Tesla S1070 1U systems make Tokyo supercomputer

Pretty interesting news from the stream computing (GPU) front today. The Tokyo Institute of Technology today announced collaboration with NVIDIA to use NVIDIA Tesla GPUs to boost the computational horsepower of its TSUBAME supercomputer. Through the addition of 170 Tesla S1070 1U systems, the TSUBAME supercomputer now delivers nearly 170 TFLOPS of theoretical peak performance, as well as 77.48 TFLOPS of measured Linpack performance, placing it, again, amongst the top ranks in the world
