If you really want to geek out, you can look at the server room power consumption when you're running your job.

The purple circuit is the cluster. The power usage is around 650W when nothing is going on. It will go up when the machines get busy. Note that if the power on the purple circuit goes above 2700 watts, the cluster may shut down. I'm worried about going over this limit, but so far it hasn't happened. Can you send the cluster enough math to kill it? Try it and let me know! The solution is easy, we can put some of the nodes on another circuit. For now they're all on the same one so we can more easily measure the power usage of the cluster.
