"It is certainly an exciting product,” reports Chris Heier, President of Tycrid Platform Technologies.  “When designing our workstation, Titan, we chose to look at options that both achieve the best performance on the market today, but also make sure that it is ready for anybody to use with Windows or Linux.  The system not only gives you world class performance for specialized applications, but also gives you the full support of using these operating systems with all of your applications.”

Titan has the capacity of expanding from its standard 4 GB of system memory, up to 32 GB, and utilizes the latest in Intel quad-core microprocessors.  The core of Titans processing capabilities lies in the NVIDIA Tesla GPU’s, each capable of up to 518 gigaflops.  The ability to utilize Tesla lies in the Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) toolkit, developed by NVIDIA.

The workstation was designed from the ground up to be both a personal computer, capable of web, email and productivity applications, as well as a supercomputer, capable of doing compute intensive applications, like molecular modeling.  The basic configuration of Titan is available for pre-order, starting at $24,995.

The Titan prototype can be seen at the Sands Expo Booth #73814, at CES in Las Vegas, January 7 - 10, 2008.
