AMD Demonstrates "Teraflop In a Box"

Posted by kdawson on from the speedy-silicon dept.

UncleFluffy writes "AMD gave a sneak preview of their upcoming R600 GPU. The demo system was a single PC with two R600 cards running streaming computing tasks at just over 1 Teraflop.

Ars has an article exploring why it's hard to program such GPUs for anything other than graphics applications.
