So through my university I have access to a super computer. Rather than describe it's specs I will link you the university site with information about it. The university actually has multiple super computers but the one I am interested is the "Athena"
http://www.arc.vt.edu/resources/index.php. Would it in any way be possible to set up mining on this system?
To run jobs they use a queuing system where you submit a script to be executed with all necessary information pertaining to modules need, nodes needed, cores needed, etc. Anyone with thoughts on the possibility of this? I believe the only obstacle to this working is that the super computers are most likely isolated from the internet, but I'm not sure of that.
I thought that since I have access to such a thing why not try to use it for a little while. There is a time limit on jobs and they will probably wonder whats up if I repeatedly ask for 300 hour jobs using all available nodes but a one off thing might be fun just to see the speed. It's not full of AMD GPU's but it does have 32 Tesla S2050's and 42 8-Core AMD Opertron 6100's so it could have some power.
