Tesla
Tesla is a computer containing 4 Nvidia Tesla cards for GPGPU computing. The Tesla-cards enable acceleration of a program by offloading compute-intensive parts of a program onto the GPU. Specially written C and Fortran programs which have been compiled with either the Nvidia-C-Compiler or the PGI Fortran Compiler respectively can make use of the very large amount of computing power available on the GPU.
Tesla runs under control of the Torque/Maui batch system. Jobs for Tesla can be sent from Orac, or Avon the login computers for the RRZN computing service.
