Today we have some exciting results to share. The AMD EPYC 7601 dual processor
system we have in the lab has set a world詾ecord forual socket Monero min\
ing, by an enormous margin. While we are not going to call this an official nu
mber since it is using pre-production firmware and we did essentially zero opt
imization, the performance is stellar.
Wait, Why Monero Mining?
Monero
At STH, we pioneered using off-peak processing capacity to offset operational
costs. Our Docker-based mining images are deployed on large swarms. The case i
s simple, utilize wasted resources to offset data center operational costs. To
this end, our most popular public and free Docker Monero miningmage has ov
er 100,000 pulls onocker Hub?(despite the fact we recommend using many of \
our others.)
Monero is one of the few cryptocurrencies that is both large (top 10 cryptocur
rency market cap) and can be efficiently mined on general purpose x86 CPUs. As
such we have started helping others to push Monero mining on their servers to
utilize off-peak data center capacity to mine Monero.
Over the last few months, we have seen this pushed over 10’s of thousands of
servers in data centers. We have also done pieces on mining efficiency both us
ing蟁ntel Xeon CPUs鴂s wellas辠MD Ryzen CPUs.
this is 3.5KH/s performance using 100% of resources. Breakeven even on expensi
ve Northern舚alifornia data center power occurs around 40% of time spent Mone
ro mining. This is transformational as it can change the ROI of colocation ver
sus cloud operations if the cost of housing the server can be offset using 40%
downtime roughly equivalent to nights and weekends.
简单节录：
AMD EPYC 7601双处理器系统已经为双socket Monero采矿创造了世界纪录，3.5KH/s，
大型数据中心可以在闲置时间如晚上周末来开采门罗币，来抵销营运成本，这可以改善托管及数据中心回报率。

IT人员又有新的方法可以来测server稳定性了？
不过我真怀疑会有大型企业这样做吗？也许真能省下很多成本？
