I always thought that it was not desirable to do supercomputing on a
GPU, because the floating point is single-precision only, and HPC
requires double-precision? Has that requirement now been relaxed?

"It's a tweaked ATI graphics processor - the year-old R580 core and its
48 cores used in Radeon X1900 graphics cards - but now appearing on a
PCI Express add-in board with 1GB of GDDR3 memory capable of doing a
massive 360 gigaflops in compute-intensive stream computing
applications - if there were any."
