I own a dedicated server (i-3770, 4 real + 4 HT cores w/ 3.4 GHz) with 16 GB
RAM and 2 x 3 TB hard disk, 1 GBit/s network.
Currently 7.6 cpus do run idle at 1.6 GHz (cpu governor ondemand), 10 GB RAM
are unused and 4.5 TB disk are not even allocated. It might be that I oversized
it for the current purpose.
I'm wondering how to use the spare CPU cycles. Compile-test of the kernel
("make randconfig") made sense in the past, but during the last few years it
became fruitless. Currently I do polish my BOINC rank for Einstein@Home and
World Community Grid.
What came into my mind; what's about chroot's test scenarios and so on. Any
ideas and/or links ?
