The Tesla is a high-end product from Nvidia that is meant to serve the General Purpose computing on Graphics Processing Units (GPGPU). Nvidia’s partners have started announcing products based on the latest version of the Tesla. For example, Supermicro has found a way to fit the Tesla M2050 – which is really just a professional version of the GeForce GTX 470 – into a 1U 19-inch rackmount chassis.
Today we saw the first of a series of launches from our partners of new products based on our new Tesla M2050 GPU Computing modules. What’s particularly exciting about these launches is that they are all server products, an important area of the Tesla business and one that’s about to take off exponentially. For the last 3 years we have seen a lot of pilot projects — in banks, in the military, in science — projects that enabled scientists and researchers to experiment with GPUs and see how they can be used to increase the pace and scope of their work.
