| Custom What?  |  Turn That PC Into a Supercomputer A small chip-design firm will unveil a new processor Tuesday it says will transform ordinary desktop PCs and laptops into supercomputers. At the Microprocessor Forum in San Jose, California, startup ClearSpeed Technologies will detail its CS301, a new high-performance, low-power floating-point processor. The new chip is a parallel processor capable of performing 25 billion floating-point operations per second, or 25 gigaflops. According to the company, the chip has the potential to bring supercomputer performance to the desktop. An ordinary desktop PC outfitted with six PCI cards, each containing four of the chips, would perform at about 600 gigaflops (or more than half a teraflop).   More on how to rule the world here. | |
