Can I use Magma's EB1 to run an external GPU for GPU-computation?

Hi,
I'd like to run an Nvidia GTX 285 with my MacBook Pro (late 2008) for double-precision GPU-accelerated computation, not for any graphics output. I think the only way would be via ExpressCard. I've found a card from Magma: the board set for their EB1 unit which supplies an external PCIe x16 slot via ExpressCard/34. I would replace the 60W PSU with ~250W to power the 285. I would need the board set and my own enclosure because the retail EB1 can't fit the double-width 285, and can't power it. Magma says the EB1 has been tested with MacBook Pro's, but not explicitly for GPU processing.
The question is whether there's any particular reason to think the 285 wouldn't be found as a PCIe device using this setup? I'd be using CUDA for development, and it's supposed to be able to find multiple GPU's on your system. I know ExpressCard will only give me x1 bandwidth, but that's fine for my needs now.
Thanks for any thoughts!
Michael

Sorry, incorrect.  There are no drivers for powerline adapters, just like there are no drivers for your router.  They are essentially single port switches.  Just plug them in and go.  However, can they be used between a modem and the router?  That I'm not sure of.  I would think they may work since they are pass through devices and do not require an IP.  Someone else may know.

  • Can i use my 21.5" imac as an external monitor for my macbook pro?

    I have a 21.5" iMac (with Intel processor) that I'm trying to use an external monitor for a new Macbook Pro.  Both machines have a thunderbolt input.  I bought a Belkin mini displayport to mini displayport connector, but my macbook is not displaying on the iMac.  I saw videos online showing this done with the 27" iMac, saying you just needed to press Command+F2, but that is not working for me.  I can't seem to find any posts confiming if I can use my 21.5" iMac this way though.

  • Can you use a hard drive to run bootcamp off it and also use it as a time capsule?

    Hello,
    i'm running out of space on my macbook air, so i was woundering if i could buy a portable hard drvie and use it for storage as well as to run bootcamp off it and use windows 8. But then will I be able to also use it as general storage?

    You mean Time Machine.. Yes, you can use an external drive for TM.. but you cannot use TM to backup the Windows partition. Use a windows software for that. You can use TM to a partition on the external drive for backup of the internal drive of the Air.
    The partition has to be formatted HFS+ to work.
    And it should be separate to the main partition you are using to boot to win8.. although I am not sure of all the details of that. As I have lots of windows computers around me do never dual boot a machine.

  • Can I use the new time capsule running 10.68 on my Imac?

    Can I use the new time capsule running 10.68 on my Imac?  I thinking of buying my first Time Capsule and wanted to get the new one.  Is it reqiured for me to upgrade my OS first?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can use the Time Capsule with your iMac. The problem is that you need AirPort Utility 6.3 to set up the Time Capsule, and it needs OS X 10.7 or later.
    If you have an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad, you can connect the Time Capsule to the power adapter, open Settings > Wi-Fi, and set up the Time Capsule through it. Then, you will be able to connect to the Time Capsule.
    If you haven't got any other device, upgrade OS X. Open the Mac App Store and purchase OS X Mountain Lion. While it's being downloaded, make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com
    When the download finishes, the Mountain Lion installer will appear, so follow its steps. After upgrading, open  > Software Update, install AirPort Utility 6.3, open it in /Applications/Utilities and follow the steps to set up the Time Capsule

    can i use icloud with my powerbookG4 running OS 10.4.11?

    It can be upgraded, if you want more use out of it.
    It just can't be upgraded enough for iCloud.
    For example, you can upgrade it to 10.5. But not 10.7.

  • Can i use my iphone connection to run ipod touch

    Can i use my iphone connection to run my ipod touch.  My ipod has more memory and i have had it for a few years.  All good apps and info on it.  Can i use the phone connection to run my ipod.  ext maps/ gps

    GPS information cannot be output from the iPhone to any other device.
    The only way to get Internet access on the iPod Touch is via Wi-Fi.  To get a Wi-Fi signal from the iPhone it must be running iOS4 and be an iPhone4.  This would also require a tethering capable data plan from the carrier.
    A simpler solution would be to upgrade to a larger capacity iPhone like the 32GB model.  Then there is only one device to be carried.

  • How can I use my Late 2009 iMac as an external monitor with my new MacBook Pro 15" Retina

    I want to use my iMac (Late 2009) as an external Display for my new 15" MacBook Pro Retina, I need to know what Cables to use so I can go buy them the Apple Store, I already tried a thunderbolt cable between the two and that doesn't work, but I think this might

    or maybe

    Pleae help I can't seem to figure it out online.
    Thanks!

    Hello, All-
    I too am very interested in the answer to this query. Same set up, same fail w/the Thunderbolt cable. The Genius Bar at the Apple Store was no help & recommended I bring my 27" iMac into the store...seriously? Their ultimate answer was that I needed a plain old male-male mini display port cable....that the Thunderbolt cable was the problem. Bloody unlikely, I say. Another guy in the store agreed with me this morning, so swapped out the cable. I was hoping upon hope it was a bad cable, but no such luck—still nothing. Next I tried a mini-display-port-to-DVI adapter—DVI cable—mini-display-port-to-DVI adapter. This also did not work. Is there a chance that the iMac running Snow Leopard and the MacBook running Mountain Lion is the problem???

  • How can I use apps that I have purchased from Apps Store for Mac on my iPad2?

    how can I use apps that I have purchased from Apps Store for Mac on my iPad2?

    Thanks, varjak, it is too easy to fall into use of jargon assuming everyone understands what it means.
    One additional point in all of this, not all "iDevice" apps run on every "iDevice".  Some are customized for a specific device, or class of devices such as the iPod/iPhone with their smaller screen.  Others for just the iPads for their larger screens.  So the user needs to be sure they are getting an app that will work on their specific device.
    And to Phoneboone, you do need to purchase the app again if it is for a different class of equipment.  When you are looking at apps such as iWorks for the Mac and iWorks components for the iPad, the iPad versions are very inexpensive.  Pages is only $10 (US) which is really cheap for such a good word processor that reads and saves in the MS Word format.
    Anyway, search for what you need and just enjoy the convenience of so many options for apps.

  • How Do I Use One PC (Windows) To Run iCloud Photo Stream for Two Users?

    How Do I Use One PC (Windows) To Run iCloud Photo Stream for Two Users? I and my wife have two Iphones (iOS 6.1.4) and we want to have use 2 iCloud accounts for one PC.

    Disregard the question. The solution has nothing to do with any "Firefox bug". Turns out that my session wasn't being managed properly. Or rather, I was accidentally deleting other users' information when new users logged in. So if I had user 1 and user 2, and user 2 logged in after user 1, some of user 1's information would be deleted, resulting in the errors.
    Oops; sorry about the false alarm. :)
    (Was hoping to retract the question, but it looks like others have a similar problem.)

    Can I use iCloud to since many users to one account for my business and have me as a administrator to oversee and change my employees calendars and contacts??

    Go to System Preferences and click Sign Out, select Delete at all the prompts, then sign back in with the changed ID?   (Your iCloud data will disappear from your Mac when you sign out and choose Delete, but will still be in iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account your data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.)

    Hello friends.. I have a similar question, in that I would like to purchase the 2TB TC for use as a NAS device, in addition to taking advantage of the Air Port extreme.. Then I could dump my Linksys router.
    I was originally looking at a Synology NAS solution, but the TC seems like it can meet my needs.
    I have a Synology NAS as well as the Time Capsule.  If you look at the 3.2 beta program, the Synology actually attempts to replicate TC functionality in that you can use it with Time Machine on your Mac.
    I must say, Airport on the TC is definitely a nice feature!

    I'm surprised more people aren't using the TC as a dedicated NAS deviced.. I've searched high and low on forums around the web, and don't seem to see many people trying to use it as I've outlined.
    I can't see why this wouldn't fufill my needs, and take the place of a separate NAS solution (like the Synology, or iOmega, Seagate, etc....)
    Has anyone used this TC as such?
    Yes, you can do this and it's something I've been trying to do, but I'm currently having issues.  I have another thread stating I consistently get "connection failed" messages.  I'm basically storing my music/photo/video files on the TC and keeping my Mac hard drive fairly lean.  In terms of NAS functionality, the TC is very basic.  Synology/QNAP and others have a lot more features so don't rule them out.
