Title: RTOS QNX/Linux and Xeon CPU feasability Post by: foreshadow on June 13, 2011, 01:39:43 AM I want to know if its possible and how much hash/s I could expect on a real-time OS with multi-cores.
Settings: I'm a real-time programmer and our computers are specifically built for real-time processing with custom motherboards and multi-core Xeon processors. Some computers have up to 16 cores which can run 100% of the time without problems or questions. They run on real-time QNX or a custom Redhat Linux with the same performance as QNX. Cooling isn't a problem. Forget about any GPU processing. Questions: Is there any Linux CPU mining software? Can the software be used via telnet/ftp/mounting from a windows PC or require a monitor for settings? Has anyone tried mining with QNX or a RTOS? What kind of performance would I expect from a single core of a Xeon? I'm aware of https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison but those all run on Windows which isn't a RTOS. Has anyone tried isolating CPU cores for mining? Thanks.
