The world's first personal supercomputer is 25 times faster than your average PC -- a technological breakthrough which could bring 'lightning speeds' to the next generation of home computers.
The Tesla supercomputer, designed by US-based company NVIDIA, is priced from Rs 288,000 to Rs 576,000 (4,000-8,000 pounds), and looks much like your ordinary PC.
According to scientists, the new machine will revolutionise the way researchers and medical professionals carry out their work. For instance, it will allow doctors to process the results of brain and body scans much more quickly and tell patients within hours whether they have a tumour.
