James River Technical, Inc. (JRTI; Richmond, VA) and Velocity Micro (Richmond, VA) announced a full line of high performance computing (HPC) workstation platforms based on the Tesla parallel computing engine from NVIDIA.

The new Visual Supercomputer (VSC) will deliver unprecedented computational power to a user’s desktop, making HPC capabilities available to a much broader market across all industries and scientific research disciplines.

Consisting of three custom configurable models, the VSC Series is priced from $ 3,995 to $16,995 and will deliver from 1 to near 4 teraflops of computing power in a mid- to full-sized tower PC.

Preloaded with the NVIDIA CUDA development environment and a choice of Microsoft Windows XP 64-bit or Fedora Core 8, the VSC Series is the most powerful desktop computer available to the market and marks the resurgence of the scientific workstation in the market place. With the integration of a wide range of HPC graphics options, the VSC Series will bring a high level of interaction to the end user’s workflow, allowing for a highly visual and computationally intensive capability designed to reduce time to discovery.

To view the entire VSC Series, please visit on James River Technical, Inc. (JRTI) or Velocity Micro, Inc.
