That will solve the cluster cooling situation, at least for a while. One just
has to run appropriate ducting.

Dear all,
Chris is right here. It depends on what is running on your HPC cluster. You
might not see a performance degrade at all, or you might see one of 30% (just
to stick with that number).
Also, if you got a cluster which is solely used by one research group the
chances they are hacking each

Individual job performance would be preserved, while

These would have to be Meldown related then, given that Spectre is so

Greg K-H has a useful post up about the state of play with the various
Linux kernel patches for mainline
It seems fairly clear to me that any processor which performs speculative
execution will be vulnerable to timing attacks of this nature.
I was pointed to a very much simplified but very clear explanation of this in a
blog post by Eben Upton (of Raspberry Pi fame):
