It's pretty depressing to see how much performance and capacity we waste.


Hush you. I need 48 cores at 5 GHz and 200 gigs of RAM to serve a simple status page.


I'm an HPC admin, I can (and will) make you serve this page from NIC's unused core. I need these cores for streaming cat videos.


Yes, we did by 10,000 cores a year ago, no there is no capacity, yes we will run the ERP off an old win2k server, no we are not using 10k cores for seti@home.

Runs Prime95 like a baws
