I will pay for GPU time

Tue Feb 15, 2011 5:26 pm

I have my own distributed computing project, and I am willing to pay for GPU time. If any of you want to make a little extra cash, I pay per month (upfront each month), mostly for Radeon cards since for some reason the NVIDIA cards run my software a lot slower. For newer Radeon cards, the payments are well over the cost of electricity for most people.

Over the course of 8 months, you can actually pay for a Radeon 5770 or 5870, just from running my program (not counting electricity costs).

If you have access to free electricity, this could be a profitable use for your video card when you aren't donating time to charity.

I am in Seattle, and I have an ad on the Seattle Craigslist site: http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/bar/2209064298.html

That ad will expire in a few days, but you can always find my latest ad by searching Craigslist for "5770" or "5870".

Care to tell us what exactly your distributed computing project is, well, computing? Because if it's cracking encryption or captchas or doing something else sketchy, I don't think you're going to find much interest. Even if it's doing something legitimate, I know I would want to know where all those floating point cycles (for which I'd still be paying the electrical costs) are going; and also the source of the funds you're using to purchase the cards.

As always, if it looks too good to be true...

Have you looked at Amazon EC2 GPU nodes?

A fool is born every minute... and I'd be a fool not to take advantage of this offer before the O.P. runs out of cash! :lol:
