Title: Vulcan - US Supercomputer With 5 PetaFlops Available For Public Use
Post by: Red Fish on September 05, 2017, 02:24:17 PM
Vulcan is US based supercomputer ( 5 PetaFlops ) available for rent, so may be there are some experiences in altcoin mining ? Check links here - https://www.networkworld.com/article/2947542/data-center/the-10-most-powerful-supercomputers-on-earth.html#slide2 and here https://computation.llnl.gov/computers/vulcan.  ;)

By my calculations, one 36core aws ec2 instance can mine 1000 h/s each, with cryptonight algorithm.
This super computer has 300000 cores ~, and it's like running 10000 instances in aws.
one supercomputer will earn about 18000$ per day.

Vulcan have 393 216 computer cores, but Vulcan admin most probably will not let you rent all computer cores.  ;D

LOL that is a little harsh.  That said, this is pretty interesting but I think the problem would be finding mining software for the architecture (as vuli so eloquently put it). 

For $600 you could always test out the performance yourself :)  http://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-8233-E8B-P750-POWER7-3-0GHZ-8CORE-RPS-P-SERIES-SERVER-/263189243517?epid=1300601511&hash=item3d474d267d:g:6sEAAOSwvjdZVA1M
