[lustre-devel] [LSF/MM/BPF TOPIC] [DRAFT] Lustre client upstreaming

[Andreas Dilger]

You overlook that Tim works for AWS, so he would not actually pay to run these nodes. He could run in machine idle times while no external customer is paying for them. 

I suspect with the random nature of the boilpot that it is the total number of hours runtime that matter, not whether they are contiguous or not.  So running 24x boilpot nodes for 1h during off-peak times would likely produce the same result as 24h continuous on one node. 

Cheers, Andreas
