For bitcoin mining you probably want to use Titan's 56k GPUs. I've run jobs at full scale on Titan, sometimes I forget it can be pretty cool to be in HPC!

I'm also interested in what language and tooling you're using, plus the scientific field. Depending on what you do, you might be interested in [1]. It's my current project dealing with better tooling for CPU and GPU compatible Fortran code.

I would assume that a Titan card is just as horrible for mining as any other NVIDIA card, both in terms of hardware cost and power usage.

might be kind of interesting to do an IamA on reddit. I'd like to hear more about what it's like to work in HPCs -- even simply considering how to build that kind of processing and how to think in terms of jobs that take real time to complete.
