I don't think they run into problems due to high TFLOPS... but rather computers crashing, etc. there must be a limit that they can handle I expect that the limiting factors would be bandwidth and the validator. The download bandwidth could always be reduced by increasing the default run-time as they have in the past, and there are probably other ways of reducing the number of downloads required, and I expect they could always beef up or duplicate the validator if need be... I don't think job creation would ever be a limiting factor other than the human influence... ID: 71805 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
