The article deals with the features of organizing of modern high performance computing based on PCs with standard hardware graphics accelerators and related software tools using mature industrial standards. Experimental results for computing performance on some types of algebraic problems and problems of simulation in comparison with standard implementations based on modern general-purpose processors are achieved. These results suggest the accessibility of computing power increase up to 1–2 orders of magnitude for certain types of problems with the use of standard hardware.
