Super First Personal Computer in the World



Super first personal computer in the world, which has a speed 250 times above the average normal PC, is shown to the public in London, England.

However, prices are still beyond the reach of most consumers, because prices are still at the £ 4,000 or Rp 70,400,000 with a rate of Rp 17,600 per pound. But the high-performance processor is extremely valuable for a university or medical institutions.

Super computer in the design using a graphics processing units (GPU) from NVIDIA, to make them able to do calculations simultaneously, which is generally done by a super computer that has a "cluster" and the need for one large room.

"Technology is a big leap in the history of the computer," said the spokesman NVIDIA, Benjamin Berraondo. "Changes with the invention of the microchip equivalent."

PhD student at the University of Cambridge and Oxford also Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States has been using super-computers based on the GPU to perform research.

Scientists believe this new system will help them find the treatment of various diseases. This allows the system because they can run thousands of code to create a list of drugs that have the potential for healing. "This is accelerating the discovery of various medicines that have the potential to save the lives of people with cancer," said Jack Collins from a research center Advanced Biomedical Computing Center in Maryland.

Computers that use graphics processing units in inovafif and revolutionary, where, according to NVIDIA claims, can provide drastic changes to the new generation of home computers (home computers)

"A processor performs a traditional" work "in one time, using a linear method, but the GPU working simultaneously to several things at once, such as getting the color pixels, while delivering a moving image on the screen," said Berranodo.

"At the time to download a movie into the iPod would require about six hours with the system (computer) traditional, a graphics card can cut the time to 20 minutes."

Super computer is made by a number of companies that are domiciled in the UK, including Viglen, Armari and Dell, currently sold to a number of universities or scientific community and researchers. According to a company computer manufacturer, Dell. Computers will be mass produced and marketed to the general consumer.
