NVIDIA in a four-way bid for super graphics chip
NVIDIA is involved in a bid to create a graphics chip for a supercomputer by 2018 and has described the device at the Supercomputing 2010 show. Three other teams are involved in the race that is funded by the US Department of Defense. NVIDIA's project, called Echelon, would mostly advance through its use of memory on many cores. The chip will have 256MB of SRAM that can be dynamically configured based on an app's requirements.
