[Bf-cycles] Issue with rendering using GPU's

Wed Nov 19 23:07:47 CET 2014

Does anyone have any thoughts as to why this isn't working on our tesla's?
We are requiring it to work with them as we cannot sustain working on a
single GTX660, when we have 6 GPGPU Tesla's available to use.

Kind Regards,

Josh Cullum
