Ask HN: You are given a PETAFLOP of compute, what do you do with it?

Assuming no concerns on electricity bills, no mining or renting, it is yours (you don't have to share). 1 PETAFLOP was the best supercomputer in 2010 or the #500th in 2020. Assume limited fraction of GPUs

So a DGX spark at fp4? or a 5090?

I imagine it's not signficant in terms of bitcoin mining.

I'd use it for LLM inference. Probably GPT 120b would be best on a dgx spark.

Without any exploitation costs, mining bitcoins would be my first choice.
