Is there any way to use Boinc on a Tesla card that doesn't involve learning code?

The main things:
Install correct drivers, from Nvidia.
Do not install BOINC as a service.

After having installed the drivers from Nvidia, and in case you haven't done a reboot, restart BOINC. It should detect the GPU as being an Nvidia Tesla.

Go to https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/hosts_user.php, click Details on your host, make note of the Location.

In https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/prefs.php?subset=project
Edit preferences on the correct location for that computer (default ---/home/school/work)

Check
Use NVIDIA GPU

Run the selected applications:
SETI@home Enhanced: Uncheck
SETI@home v7: Check
AstroPulse v6: Uncheck
AstroPulse v7: Check (by choice)

If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications? Check.

Save changes to the preferences page with the "Update preferences" button.

Now open BOINC Manager->(View->Advanced view->)Projects tab->Select Seti@Home->click Update. This makes sure that the client has these new preferences as well.
