Simulations be it for mechanical engineer's FEA analysis, or electrical engineers with RF propagation/DSP, or ISR platforms with image stabilization/geolocation/object tracking, etc. a LOT of computing power is needed. However, with these boards, one doesn't need to have access to a grid for their analysis.]]>Nov 17th 2009 8:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/nvidia-tesla-20-series-gpus-promise-to-dramatically-cut-supercom/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/nvidia-tesla-20-series-gpus-promise-to-dramatically-cut-supercom/

It's like asking why you wouldn't want to use humans to crank out cars from scratch or why robots with the advanced AI of today can't compose symphonies. I'm sure if you got enough of one or the other, you could do it, but it would cost a shit-ton.

In all seriousness though, this is pretty cool. I can't wait till CUDA is a common thing in applications and I can get a decent boost from my graphics card. Well, once I buy one, that is.
