What's it like to actually use this for any meaningful throughput? Can this be used for hash cracking? Every time I think about virtual GPUs over a network, I think about botnets. Specifically from https://www.hpcwire.com/2012/12/06/gpu_monster_shreds_password_hashes/ https://www.hpcwire.com/2012/12/06/gpu_monster_shreds_passwo... "Gosney first had to convince Mosix co-creator Professor Amnon Barak that he was not going to “turn the world into a giant botnet.”"
- cpeterson42 2y agoThis is definitely an interesting thought experiment, however in practice our system is closer to AWS than a botnet, as the GPUs are not distributed. This technology does lend itself to some interesting applications with creating very flexible clusters within data centers that we are exploring.
