Gpu water heater

28th February 2026

I would like my water heater to have some modular holes in the top where I can install some IP GPUs.  Then the heat from the GPU gets used to heat my water.  The GPU/APU gets used for local AI or Security system person detection or video rendering. 

It’s not likely to work well for gaming as network access adds latency.  But protocol optimization may help with this, Google tried something similar with their cloud gaming service.
