    99'''Can I do real HPC work on such a system?''' 
    10 Yes. Considering that surveys have shown that around 40% of HPC users use less than 16 cores (over 50% use less than 32 cores) it should be a very usable system. The latest .

    1212'''How fast is it?''' 
    13 The latest Limulus version achieved 200 GFLOPS (58% of peak) Note, benchmarking results in HPC are very application specific. While a GPU might match the performance of a small cluster for some applications, it is not a general purpose computing device and therefore is not as flexible as a cluster. Take a look at [wiki:NorbertLimulus The Norbert Limulus Cluster] for more information on our prototype system.
