NVIDIA has announced the availability of the Tesla GPU Preconfigured Cluster -- a ready-to-power-up, off-the-shelf solution that enables researchers and IT managers to easily add GPU computing capabilities to their existing datacentre systems. According to the company, Tesla GPU Preconfigured Clusters provide up to 30 times the performance of CPU-only solutions.

There are 15 to 20 million engineers, scientists, and researchers around the world struggling for time on supercomputers, which has led to a huge pent-up demand for computation," said Andy Keane, general manager, Tesla business, NVIDIA. "With the launch of the Tesla Preconfigured Cluster, every one of them can easily deploy a GPU-powered supercomputing cluster that dramatically reduces their power consumption while still advancing the pace of their work."

Tesla Preconfigured Clusters consist of x86 CPU servers coupled with Tesla S1070 1U GPU systems. Configurations start at 16 Teraflops of performance, delivered by four Tesla S1070s, each containing four Tesla 10-series GPUs. All systems include host servers, infiniband switches, cabling and are fully customisable to suit individual customer needs.

Tesla GPU Preferred Partners around the world are also offering Tesla Preconfigured Clusters.
