I wonder if cloud clusters will get GPGPU, since that seems to be a factor these days. It's not much use for a general purpose web server though.

- maximilian 16y agoThey have compute nodes with GPUs. From their website: 22 GB of memory 33.5 EC2 Compute Units (2 x Intel Xeon X5570, quad-core “Nehalem” architecture) 2 x NVIDIA Tesla “Fermi” M2050 GPUs 1690 GB of instance storage 64-bit platform I/O Performance: Very High (10 Gigabit Ethernet) API name: cg1.4xlarge So they have new awesome Fermi GPUs but the instances cost $0.50 more per hour than the standard HPC compute nodes. Generally exciting for anyone with GPU code and the desire to run on a cluster.
