Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm looking for someone in Germany who already has access to a Tesla system.<br>
I have received a request by a scientist for "a very powerful machine", and<br>
would like him to run some tests before spending and possibly wasting money.</blockquote><div><br>Use the dilbert principle:<br>

<br>
i.e. he won't know the difference between a Tesla and something else...<br><br>An nVidia GTX 280 graphics card isn't much different from a Quadro 5800. The Telsa is basically Quadro 5800s without a graphics port. In my experience, by the time your researcher has ported code to work on the new system, a much faster new iteration will have been released.<br>
