Does anyone know the math that would tell us the effect of computing power on the temperature of the world? That's a lot of energy being released just to crunch some numbers.

The top machine on top500 draws 15,000kW (15MW) and it's not even the most power hungry machine. And the top 500 only lists the top500 participating machines. There are a lot of huge clusters in private data centres, like Amazon, Google, etc.

So ignoring all the desktop PCs which aren't crunching numbers, I would guess it's something like 5-10GW.

more like legitimately curious.

5-10GW could power 1,500,000 to 3,000,000 homes. That's a ton of energy.
