Do any of you have a buttload of RAM sitting around? (reddthat.com)

Hi,

I have a friend who is looking to run a few simulations he has implemented in python and needs around 256GB of ram. He is estimating it will take a couple of hours, but he is studying economics so take that with a grain of salt 🤣

For this instance, I recommended GCP, but I felt a bit dirty doing that. So, I was wondering if any of you have a buttload of memory he can burrow? Generally, would you lend your RAM for a short amount of time to a stranger over the internet? (assuming internet acccess is limited to a signle ssh port, other necessary safeguards are in place)

As a hardware guy there is so little info here

DDR2, 3, 4, or 5? Clock speed? ECC? Registered?

Yeah I have boxes of older memory. But there needs to be a lot more specifics. Most of my home lab machines have at least 384gb (VMs need a lot of memory).

I don't think OP wants you to lend them physical RAM modules but asks about letting his friend run random code on your high-RAM machine.

Maybe? After rereading it I’m really not sure …

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's at least what I got from the comment with the SSH port.

Yeah I can definitely see your point.
