Personal Supercomputers.

The Promise Of Personal SuperComputers:

What is PSC (personal super computer)?

A PSC has the ability and power between the supercomputers and personal computers, in fact it is a high- performance computers. They are good for individual tasks, and very good in computing a significant amount data for a single user or for an organization. The commercial models of PSCs are also available but usually they are made by the user themselves or by their order. Although comparatively they are expensive than a personal computer (PC) but affordable to many people.

What will it take to put hundreds of microprocessors in laptops and in cell-phones?

In February 2007, Intel announced a research project, the first ever programmable TERASCALE superchip. The company demonstrated a single chip with 80 cores, or processor,  and showed that these cores could be programmed to execute numbers at the rate of a trillion operations per second, a measure known as a TERAFLOP. The size of the chip is about a large postage stamp, but it has the same calculation speed as a supercomputer that, in 1996, took up about 2,000 square feet and drew about 1,000 times more power.

This research was one of the initial steps taken by Intel towards massively Multicore Technology, said Nitin Borkar, engineering manager and lab project head at Intel. "The goal, he says, is to use this chip to test techniques that could make massively multicore technology faster, more energy efficient, and, most daunting, easy to program. These techniques will be “funneled into future products” that could appear, if all goes well, within five to ten years."

Now we see, the promise of personal supercomputer is been fulfilled, we can see many personal supercomputers by many different companies like Apple, IBM, Intel, Limulus etc..
