Title: Do you have a cluster fetish? Post by: Mark Rose on February 19, 2012, 07:43:57 AM Okay, I'll admit it: I love clusters. But until I realized the profitability of bitcoin mining, I never had a justification for keeping one running.
Now I can't wait to build one. Did this happen to anyone else? Title: Re: Do you have a cluster fetish? Post by: dab on February 19, 2012, 08:06:25 AM I've gotta admit, that I love having servers. Makes me feel powerful. Though I don't think mine are powerful enough to do any serious mining. D:
Title: Re: Do you have a cluster fetish? Post by: Matthew N. Wright on February 19, 2012, 08:07:56 AM I have a cluster of 200 Apple II computers all networked together to provide 1 Mh/s of mining power.
Title: Re: Do you have a cluster fetish? Post by: Miner612 on February 19, 2012, 09:55:04 AM Yes. I am obsessed with bitcoin rigs.
Title: Re: Do you have a cluster fetish? Post by: dab on February 19, 2012, 08:21:27 PM ^ that, what he said. I'm saving up for 1 card atm. Gonna be a while with rent and food to pay for. :P HUNGER STRIKE TIME!
Title: Re: Do you have a cluster fetish? Post by: DarkEagle on February 19, 2012, 09:36:51 PM nice topic heh
maybe some1 posts any photos? :D Title: Re: Do you have a cluster fetish? Post by: xbmcoin on February 19, 2012, 10:35:42 PM Title: Re: Do you have a cluster fetish? Post by: payb.tc on February 19, 2012, 11:31:28 PM lol at the lonely deskfan who thinks he can cool 60+ computers.
Title: Re: Do you have a cluster fetish? Post by: xbmcoin on February 19, 2012, 11:46:31 PM lol at the lonely deskfan who thinks he can cool 60+ computers. It's probably for the technician who needs to patch behind those machines ;D Title: Re: Do you have a cluster fetish? Post by: Miner612 on February 20, 2012, 12:18:24 AM These are mining rigs?? Title: Re: Do you have a cluster fetish? Post by: xbmcoin on February 20, 2012, 12:33:06 AM Nope.It is a beowulf cluster however.
Title: Re: Do you have a cluster fetish? Post by: Mark Rose on February 20, 2012, 04:06:23 AM Nope.It is a beowulf cluster however. I'm sure Hroðgar would be proud! Title: Re: Do you have a cluster fetish? Post by: stcupp on February 20, 2012, 04:37:34 AM Heres gigavps's cluster that won the mining rig contest:

I like small and quiet clusters like this ::) Icarus (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=51371.0) fpga cluster 2 Ghs @ 100W Title: Re: Do you have a cluster fetish?

FPGA makes it look so clean and easy! Title: Re: Do you have a cluster fetish? Post by: xiaomei on February 20, 2012, 08:22:05 PM Has anyone built an AWS GPU cluster?
Title: Re: Do you have a cluster fetish? Post by: Mark Rose on February 20, 2012, 08:32:49 PM Has anyone built an AWS GPU cluster? That's almost certainly not worth it. The GPU instances use Nvidia cards, which from what I gather are slow at hashing. Plus they cost $2.10/hr ($1500/mn). Title: Re: Do you have a cluster fetish?

I understand mining bitcoins with computers and such but these cards confuse me. How are they achieving that type of hash rate at such a low power draw? Title: Re: Do you have a cluster fetish?
