Heating houses with high performance servers

network bandwidth is of course the biggest limiting factor. =/

Designing a data center with 1.5 mb/s upload between nodes would be.....not fun.

Excited to see if they can make a business out of this.

edit: also would suck that for half the year your data center gets turned off.

Not necessarily... it would be impractical to use these radiators as web servers, of course. But from their video, it seems their main application is number crunching. The nodes would download the input dataset, chew on it for a while, and upload the result some time later.

I think this is targeted to computation needs.

But on their registration page, they ask whereas you have fibre > 100Mbits/s.

Exactly we only use fiber, 10Gbps per house
