IBM Making Nvidia Fermi-filled BladeCenter Server

by - source: Tom's Hardware US

Serious business for these GPUs.

Owners of the latest Nvidia graphics cards know that Fermi is pretty great at pushing pixels, but GPUs these days have some fairly strong industrial purposes too.

At the GPU Technology Conference last month, an Nvidia Fermi-based IBM server expansion blade was on display. It hasn't yet been formally announced, but it appears to be a single Fermi GPU (perhaps of Quadro variety) with 6GB of RAM that'll fit into a BladeCenter chassis of the E, H, and S varieties.

Check out more from the video below from Gabriel Consulting, along with the report on the Register.

The one thing Fermi truly excels at is its raw computational power.
