Meet the Asustek 1.1 Teraflop supercomputer! Asustek Computer unveiled its first supercomputer – desktop computer-sized ESC 1000, which uses NVIDIA graphics processors to attain speeds up to 1.1 teraflops.
FYI: One teraflop is one trillion flops (floating point operations per second), a measure of computing speed. Computers able to perform at such high speeds can be used in a variety of ways, including scientific research, image manipulation, engineering modeling or for medical purposes.
The processing power found inside the ESC 1000 has 24GB of DDR3 memory at 1333MHz along with a 500GB SATA II hard drive. The PSU is good for 1100 watts.
It is still unknown how much the supercomputer will cost, although ASUS have stated that a 5 year cost structure comes in at $14,519 USD.
