[SOLVED] Any use for Nvidia Tesla K40 and Intel Phi 71S1P?

[IntelTurtleFan]

So I was given these two unique cards as payment for some services I did. Is there any practical use for them anymore or should I just ebay them?
Also any applications to test if they even work? (Phi for virtualization or something since I use VMs?)

It depends on what you do. A K40 is a GPU accellerator. BUT the problem with server cards like those is that they are often passively cooled. The K40 was available passive and active cooling. I think the Phi was actively cooled.
Do you run MATLAB? Deep Learning? Do you want to learn how to write CUDA code? Unless you have a specific use, selling them will probably be more valuable.

K40s are selling for $80- $140 on E-Bay
Not a lot of Phi sales. I see one of that model that sold for $100.

Thank you. I don't do any of what you mentioned but I do use several virtual machines (VMWare workstation pro and VMWare player). I'll keep them around for another month or so in case I find a use for them otherwise I will chuck them on eBay.

Neither of those coprocessors will benefit you with VMs.
