Im Building up a server and have a few question’s If I put a workstation grade GPU such as a nividia tesla card or Ati firepro will it be accelerate the java layer and offload to the gpu? If so how would i go about doing this? Is this suported under linux (ubuntu 14.04) with the binary blob driver by nividia or only under windows. or would it be best to run under ATI under Linux if acceleration is supported that is? ---

There’s no benefit to having a powerful graphics card in your server. Nothing is or can be offloaded to the GPU. ---
