I would have them sit idle most of the time, since most of my tasks are usually IO bound.

- Confusion 17y agoAdd them to a grid, so others can use them when you don't need them? Seti@home, but where you get paid for your cycles?
- fierarul 17y agoWell, it depends how you view the original question. Sure, you could eventually find some purpose to the 48 cores, but that implies an active search for such a purpose and basically a side-project. I dunno, I might just collocate the server and sub-rent virtual machines or do some shared hosting -- but that's not what I care about. So -- for my current tools and work-flow, 48 cores isn't needed. Pretty sure some scientist or video editor might replace his cluster with this thing but as a normal user and developer I would severely under-utilize the hardware.
