Well it seems that each A100 is about 2.5 - 3 times faster than V100 so I won't even try for now. I have to ask my professor and it's going to be a pain accessing it anyway.

But it's interesting how computing power is basically the only thing required. I guess is just a matter of time until someone with access to a supercomputer might give it a try...

...and then get arrested like this guy? https://www.itnews.com.au/news/csiro-it-contractor-spared-jail-for-mining-monero-on-supercomputer-553535  Grin

On a more serious note, the software will have to improve to a level where it's not experimental before people start investing their resources into it.
