    Nvidia geforce has developed supercomputers for personal use this has over 948 cores (So i think) that can also be requested for the purpose of the job you are upto... Our computers are running on CPU's these computers are running on GPU's and the price of one of these computers are over 10000 US $ (it's about 1mil in rupees) My question is what will you do if you get one of these computers??

    they use their stream processors for calculations in those computers, as I can remember they use 4x Geforce 280 in SLI configuration with some special software for the purpose. However capability of these stream processors are very very limited when compared to a usual processor. So they can only be used for mathematical calculations and they cannot be used for gaming, etc...

    Best application I can think of it is video processing and archiving.
