Just need some kind of remote on/off switch that you can turn on when everyone has gone home for the day. But I bet next power bill somebody gonna notice lol

It’s just one GPU compute cluster, how much power could it consume? 60W?

One A100 needs about 200-250w each. This needs 584x250w = 146,000w so approximately 146kwH. Average price of power is like 0.3$/kwh right now so running this will cost ya 43.8$ per hour, 1051.2$ per day or 32,500ish USD per month.

One GPU if it’s a bad boy can be hundreds of watts I think. Maybe a miner can chime in to confirm.

I actually work as a hardware engineer supporting GPU compute clusters and have access to quite a few servers but I’m sure someone in upper management wouldn’t approve of this use

This went right over the head of most people. Brilliant comment though.
