heh Steffen,
On a more serious note.
What does your friend want to run at the machine for type of code?
Have the algorithm in some sort of stripped format showing the
working set size where you read from?
Figuring out Tesla type devices is not so stupid right now. It has
240 cores @ 32 bits (either integer of floating point) clocked at
say 1.2+ Ghz or so (1 instruction a cycle, forget the BS they quote
online).
Very powerful. Some algorithms can get rewritten. Would be fun to
practice with some physicist code to rewrite it from memory intensive
to instruction intensive code.
As i have nothing to do with christmas i wanted to write some CUDA
code anyway.
Of course i have to rehearse dry as i have no CUDA set up devices
here let alone budget to buy a 8800 card, let alone a Tesla.

Hi,
I'm looking for someone in Germany who already has access to a
Tesla system.
I have received a request by a scientist for "a very powerful
machine", and
would like him to run some tests before spending and possibly
wasting money.
(To me it isn't clear whether his code would be suited at all, and
he wasn't
able to convince me...)
Anyone?
Cheers,
Steffen
