Bright side of News talks about NEXTCOMputing, a new portable GPGPU computing beast. You can read all about it over here.
Notebooks are all around us, but what if the power provided by the best one isn't good enough? How about a portable dual-socket, dual-GPU, single, dual or triple display beast? On GPU Technology Conference we were introduced to NEXTCOMputing, a company based in New Hampshire. Speaking with Ed Caracappa, we were given a low-down on how the company is integrating nVidia GPUs with AMD and Intel CPUs into a very unique form factor. What NEXTCOMputing does is takes a chassis that remotely resembles a briefcase and build something what can only be considered a mobile workstation. The combination of a moveable multi-socket and multi-GPU powerhouse is something many, including us dream off. The company even integrates between one and three displays into the housing to help decrease the footprint of the device while on the move.
