Indian PC Magazine has a good interview with the Sales Manager of NVidia’s South-east Asia division about the Tesla.
INDIAN PC Magazine (Leella Rani Dondapati) spoke with the NVIDIA executive, Mr Nishant Goyal, Sales Manager- South East Asia , NVIDIA to get a more sense on the Tesla Super Computing and its functionality. Excerpts of the interaction…
Specifically they talk about the EKA computer and how Tesla will provide a more scalable solution that a direct build-out, in both physical terms (wiring, floor space) and performance terms (power consumption, TeraFlops of processing).
Q3. How is Tesla super computer distinct from the EKA super computer from the CRL?
Ans: NVIDIA Tesla Computing Solution can and will complement EKA supercomputer which currently uses 1800 CPU computing nodes, 25 km of wiring, needs 2 MW of power and delivers 132.8 TeraFLOPs of power. This would mean that scaling up would cost $200 million, the installation of 20,000 CPUs and 20 MW of power plant. That is why a team of CRL is now looking forward to having Tesla Supercomputing solution deployed. It has the potential to reduce the power requirements and cost of a scaled-up installation without compromising on computing power.
