The Tesla K80 was a professional graphics card by NVIDIA, launched in November 2014. That's partly why I'm here - I'd like to know what you guys think I could do with something like this, given the supplied hardware configurations I've put forward for both the Dell C4130 as well as the Dell PowerEdge R620 that I will be using in parallel as in a cluster of sorts. I intend to use this server for GPGPU related tasks, but I have nothing definitive planned in terms of it's actual usage case. This project is purely done out of my passion for computers and I'm talking this time to learn as much as possible about using GPUs for general computing at the same time. I have a source for brand new in box (new old stock) K80s that run about $300 a pop so that is likely the route I will be taking. I am eyeing the Nvidia Tesla K80 for GPU choice, because it's actually two GPUs housed on one board, each with a dedicated 12GB of GDDR5 memory. Consequently, it has a very deep 1U design / form factor. The Server at the heart of this little project is a Dell PowerEdge C4130 with provisions internally for up to 4 full sized PCIe GPUs located just behind the front grill.
