The core of each Tesla device is a GeForce 8-series GPU as well as the general component layout of the high-end Quadro FX 5600 workstation graphics card with 1.5 GB of memory (in Tesla, it has 1.35 GB). The only noteworthy difference between the FX 5600 and a Tesla card is the fact that the supercomputing-targeted devices lack the graphics outputs on the backpanel, which we were told, allows Nvidia to increase the clock speed on Tesla.

Its generally for number crunchign adn graphics designers, yes.

But you can affix them to do anything.. physix processor, secondary processors, unlaod everythign form the CPU straight to it.

Link directly to a GPU to reduce any bottleneck.
