You think the average programmer (user) has a Tesla computing device on his computer ?

The 445M is a mobile GPU and quite low end at that. In fact the Teslas are consistently slower than the GTX cards for single precision (until their k20 line that is). So something like a 480 would be ok. 580 would be ideal.

You can buy an hour with two Tesla GPUs for $2.10 on EC2.

Are you allowed to install software on an On-Demand Cluster GPU Instances or you must use what is provided by Amazon ?
