Title: beowulf device.. Post by: oztusk on November 24, 2012, 02:41:53 AM BEOWULF Device?
ive got 15-20 d510 mobos, not sure what i can haywire into them as far as V-card goes. who has an interest in such a project? i mean crude beowulf assembly for mining. reply this thread, if so. eventually this thread will get taken over by people who know way more than i, but its a good place to start.. i guess oz Title: Re: beowulf device.. Post by: oztusk on November 24, 2012, 03:28:01 AM ok i should move this to a hardware category as soon as i figure how..

CPU mining for all of those combined might result in maybe a few tens of Mhash/s at best. A $1,000 ASIC shipping "real soon now" can mine at 2,000 times that. A $100 GPU even can mine at ten times that. Title: Re: beowulf device..

Title: Re: beowulf device.. Post by: oztusk on November 27, 2012, 10:20:27 PM not looking 2 mine...
sure, might draw 25 btc after about 25 years... thing is,... rather than xx Kwh doing nothing,... as a node in a network... F.I.T.B. ?? Title: Re: beowulf device..
