fruitycoder@sh.itjust.works 7 hours agoGPGPU usage is probally going to see some real usage. There was an interesting talk at the xorg conf even about turn the video hardware into virtual services running on GPGPU focused hardware.
Ive talked with some of the HPC programers too who are trying to find creative repurposes already lol

I think that it’s fair to say that AI is not the only application for that hardware, but I also think that carpelbridgesyndrome’s point was that they aren’t really well-suited to replace conventional servers, which is the sort of thing that ouRKaoS was worried about. I’d also add that the physical buildings have way more cooling capacity than is necessary for that too, so they probably wouldn’t be the most-cost-effective approach even if you replaced the computing hardware in the buildings.
