cudak1 & 2 mini-supercomputers (2008/2009) described here were the first of the now 5-member family of mini-supercomputers at U of Toronto's laboratory of Pawel Artymowicz
Cudak1 & 2 had 720 cores on 3 gtx 280 nVidia cards & a measured 1.5 TFLOPs (theor. 3 TFLOPs).
The computing power of all cudaki now exceeds 10 TFLOPS.
They use up to 4 GTX480 or 580 GPUs per box, with 512 cuda cores ea.

very, very fitting!!!

ReplyDeleteDEUS EX MACHINA :-)
and very loosely: The Matrix Revolutions??? LOL P
