DumpsterCluster: From Dumpster Diving to Serving LLaMA-70B on $60 GPUs
Bridging the gap between hardware e-waste and high-performance AI inference.
As AI datacenters retire functional GPUs, vast quantities of still capable accelerators enter secondary markets. This paper investigates whether these retired GPUs can find a productive afterlife to form a DumpsterCluster that can serve modern LLM inference, and under what condit...

DumpsterCluster demonstrates that repurposing retired hardware significantly lowers the barrier to entry for large-scale AI inference. However, the study serves as a critical reminder that older architecture's high power draw necessitates clean, cheap energy to avoid environmental hypocrisy.
