NVIDIA Delivers Supercomputer-Class Graphics Hardware; Vista Need Not Apply
Last week NVIDIA unveiled a new family of high performance computing (HPC) solutions that scientists, engineers, and other technical professionals will drool over. NVIDIA's Tesla line promises the power to solve previously unsolvable problems. A dedicated, high-performance Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) solution, Tesla brings supercomputing power to any workstation or server and to standard, CPU-based server clusters. (Check out this CADCAMNet article for details.)
That's all well and good, but we at 3D CAD News like to read the fine print. We noticed that the Tesla line will work with Linux and Windows XP, but not with new Windows Vista. Surely this was a product devleopment oversight; we can't imagine why a high-performance engineering and scientific solution would want to bypass Windows Vista (we say with our fingers crossed).
Undetered by previous setbacks, Microsoft continues work on its Windows Vista-based cell phone.
