Title: Too many CPUs, too much RAM, too much power. No GPUs, FPGAs or ASICs Post by: l0rdpym613 on April 27, 2022, 05:20:22 AM Quite a few years ago I worked at a very very large company.
A clean out of a couple of data centres happened, the project manager complained about e-waste cost. I said I would clean out both data centres after work and ended up with several racks worth of stuff in my house... I am running USB stick miners on USB hubs on Raspberry Pis. No problem there except I'm not making much. I have a GPU rig like you see everywhere. I tried mining alt coins on one of the lower power servers with only 8 or 16Gb RAM and a few Xeons. Seems to be mostly idle and not worth it. I have a E7000 with 24 blades with 192Gb RAM on most blades, 64Gb RAM on others and 12 core Xeons in each blade.. So I think I did some math years ago and it came to about to at least three quarters of a Tb of RAM. I have 240 Volts and 32 Amp and 16 Amp sockets. I have a few machines with just 144Gb RAM and a few Xeons... What to do with all this power ...??? Run virtual machines and then run multiple miners on each..?? Is there a non ASIC/GPU alt coin that would be useful to have that much power and RAM? Should I just Fleabay the lot...??? R Title: Re: Too many CPUs, too much RAM, too much power.
