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

thanks, ill have a read through and try and work out what levels I might be able to achieve. Then Ill be able to work out the possible monthly income.

Hi,

cheers for the response. 512 Cuda GPU cores come from 2x Quadro 4000.

It was just an idea, the units are there already running, I don't have to buy anything its just the time setting it up. These are just PCs that are sitting idle for most of there time. power use age is no problem either, so think of it as free electricity and hardware.

Thanks

Hi everybody! I'm new here and did search for this sort of thing but didn't come up with much that was relevant.

I manage a network of 600+ PCs, they comprise of the following:

150x Intel i5 2.5ghz quad core, 4gb ram
450x Intel Core 2 duo 2.5-3.2ghz, 2-4gb ram
10 Intel Xeon workstations. quad core,, 6gb ram
+512 NVidia Cuda GPU cores.


So physical CPU core count = 1540+, and Cuda GPU Cores = 512.

All connected at 1Gb to switches, switches connected by fibre optic cables.

I would like to set up my own mining pool using "whenIdle" but wondering if its worth it? power consumption and cooling are not a concern.

I can easily create a central host to run the pool on the LAN.

What sort of result could this achieve? they are idle for several hours per day, many left on overnight doing nothing. But, if they were all idle 100% of the time, what would my likely khash be?

Many Thanks
