    That’s still not very much compared to most data centers. Like, 7000 terabytes is a lot of storage for one person, but it barely even registers compared to most modern data centers.

    Also, 2800 desktops networked together isn’t really a super computer or a data center.

    such a network is interesting as a scientific tool for gathering and processing data, certainly, but not a data-center and not a super computer.

      Imagine the latency on a data center in space. Uplink/downlink every time your server gets an inferencing request? Lol.

      I could see it being fine for longer running asynchronous requests, but that would be if the cost/benefit made any sense at all, and if the servers had any resources worth talking about.
