Dave Jones wrote about attaching GPU cards to a Z to make it a super-number
cruncher.

 

What's the problem you're trying to solve? Cheap Intel MIPS being too
inexpensive? Seriously, I've never heard anyone say "I'd put this
numeric-intensive application on zSystems but they're just too slow". No,
they say "Intel cycles are cheap: let's use an array with GPU cards
attached".

 

There might be a use case or two, but I'd be (pleasantly!) astonished to
find more than a handful.
