Here's an example of a server that was installed in a church:quote:The supercomputer has been beefed up over the years. Most recently, the fourth iteration came online in 2017 "with a peak computing capacity of 11 thousand trillion operations per second (11.15 petaflops)," reports Motherboard. "MareNostrum 4 is spread over 48 server racks comprising a total of 3,456 nodes. A node consists of two Intel chips, each of which has 24 processors." The first thing I would do with my space (which I can imagine being terabytes of ram with petabytes of storage) is run a binary tree to extreme multi dimensional arrays in various scenarios I'd love to compile software on that. I think my network would explode if I compiled software on that datacenter server because of the sheer amount of data being sent to my location Heres the candy, I can imagine its running Linux ./configure --prefix=~/.home/newland && make clean && make -j `cpucount` (I forgot the actual command) This will compile software instantly using ALL processors, the data storage would be so closely calculated it would beat the SNOT out of ZFS and maybe BTRFS Parallel compiles, Id never go on the IRC network. If there was a BBS, Id never leave my house (I never do) What would you do?

Rent it to North Korea or something. They'd probably pay real well for that time. I could use the money to build a bunker, I guess.

You know there’s some serious bandwidth in those data centers. I have a gigabit connection, I’d run x11 forwarding till the cows came home, on windows none the less

Back in the day when supercomputers were built out of discrete components rather than commodity hardware the mersenne prime search was one of the first programs they would run in testing because it's a relatively simple algorithm that repeats the same operations a huge number of times and will give a wrong result if any individual operation isn't computed correctly. I like this neat wikipedia page showing how long it took to run the algorithm on antiquated hardware, with a modern computer you can do all of the mersenne calculating in world history up to the 80s in like 10 minutes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mersenne_prime#List_of_known_Mersenne_primes

Finally host a 300 player rust server that doesn't lag too bad. Assuming it would even run (it wont).

When I had access to a few Top10(tm) clusters for tests in ~2004, there was a distributed povray-like thing that a colleague used to render some scene of a space battle with all the lighting tricks at a huge-at-the-time resolution. Took about 30 hours on about 1000 top-of-the-2004-line Linux machines. I might still have a copy somewhere! I bet it’s like 4K or something else that my phone can reproduce in near-real-time.

Ehhh, not necessarily. A modern PC still wouldn't be able to render Toy Story in realtime.

We both think we burned all the files we had from the national labs and other clients when we quit, but he’s going to look.
