Re: 2000+ CPU Cores - what sort of performance

My Q9550 make like 20mhash/s, so i expect your more recent quadcores to make a bit more. Dual cores will make like half of that
And the 2 quadro well i dunno, try them and tell us, i'm curious


The problem is, you will spend MUCH MORE in electricity, cpu and nvidia sucks at mining. Few ATI could easily surpass your center without problems.

Let me do a bit of math:

You have like 3.5 ghash/s from the quadcores
and 4.5 ghash/s from the dualcores
then add something (like 40mhash/s) from the two quadro.

Problem, ten 6990 can achieve the same performance.

Thanks Gabi.

Ill run some tests on the quadro 4000s and post it back, and ill do some testing on individual processors to see the actual rates.

they would never be running 24/7 anyway, and I might be able to get 2-4 hours per PC per day on average, with the few left on over night adding to it as well. When they are being used the CPUs are fairly well used anyway and its not like Im suddenly turning on 600 pcs and having them all running at 100% CPU just for this.  If I ended up with 500MHash/s running per month id be extremely happy! I'm not thinking its a plan to get rich from, just a couple of BTC here and there and supporting the cause a little.

I also have a virtual infrastructure of 128 xeon cores with 256Gb ram that doesn't do much outside of business hours....that could easily chip in a little too with vms with the lowest priority CPUs. any other request will come first with no risk to the platform. half of it could easily be used from 8pm to 6am.

Thanks
