Gingeropolous submits CCS proposal to upgrade 'Monero Research Computing' cluster

Gingeropolous1 has submitted a new CCS proposal2 looking to upgrade their Monero Research Computing cluster by installing 1TB of RAM3 to a new Epyc server:

This proposal is for funds for me to purchase 1 TB of ram to install in a new 2x 7h12 server (256 threads!) so monero researchers can stop fiddling with memory constraints when working or waiting for the poor 64 threads to chug through their tasks.

Total funding: 20 XMR.

ETA: <2025-02-01.

The main rig was initially upgraded through a 2022 CCS4 to provide ample storage space for researchers.

To read the full proposal, share your feedback, ask questions and support this CCS, consult !5162.

This is an ongoing story and the report will be updated when new information is available.

Update: moved to funding stage5.
