New CUDA

I updated the cluster with the recently-released CUDA 2.1 for Linux 64 and everything seems to work well.

I am disappointed that Mac CUDA trails at 2.0, but I presume 2.1 is coming.

I looked into putting a Tesla card into a Mac Pro, but it looks like it wouldn't be supported under Mac OS X. It would probably work under Windows, which we do run on our Mac Pros sometimes. I imagine the reason is that Apple's display drivers wouldn't bother to load for a Tesla card and Mac CUDA uses the bundled drivers. Darn.
