I have been writing about the progress at: http://limulus.basement-supercomputing.com/ Recently I was able to get 200 GFLOPS using Intel i5-2400S processors connected by GigE (58% of peak). Of course these are CPU FLOPS not GPU FLOPS and the design has a power/heat/performance/noise envelope that makes it suitable for true desk side computing. (for things like software development, education, small production work, and cloud staging) You can find the raw HPC numbers and specifications here: http://limulus.basement-supercomputing.com/wiki/CommercialLimulus BTW, if click the "Nexlink Limulus" link, you can take a survey for a chance to win one of these systems.
