The rapid development of distributed computing the current improvement supercomputer has no meaning

It is said that there is no point in improving supercomputers at a rapid pace in distributed computing, such as HTC's power to give program, which allows your phone to gain the same computational capability as a supercomputer. Even so, the attempt to miniaturization the supercomputer is valuable, and in many scenarios we cannot guarantee that the device is connected to the cloud.

Yesterday Nvidia CEO Huang unveiled a miniature version of the supercomputer Jetson TK1 at the company's GPU technology conference, Engadget reported. This board is similar to the Arduino and raspberry pie, but is far more powerful than the latter, and can carry out 326,000 trillion of floating-point operations per second. Jetson TK1 uses Nvidia's newest Tegra K1 processor, which is the same as the supercomputer Titan at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the United States, and is perfectly capable of running anything Titan can run--certainly slower.

The Jetson TK1 Development Kit provides developers with the necessary elements to create specific systems and applications, including a full set of C/D + + tools based on the NVIDIA CUDA architecture. The use of the scene can be robot, auto, computer vision and image processing and so on.

Now developers can implement some supercomputer functions on low-power devices at a cost of only 192 dollars.
