Most project Server Status pages, such as http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/server_status.php, explain that they derive their FLOP-eqivalence "from the sum of the Recent Average Credit (RAC) for all users", rather than the other way round. It is the RAC-derived figure which passed 2 petaflops on about July 11 or July 12, according to http://boincstats.com/stats/project_graph.php?pr=bo, not the rather higher figure (without derivation) posted on the BOINC front page that slashdot cites. I do hope that the weaknesses in BOINC regarding accurate CUDA flop recording, highlighted by the recent unfortunate events at AQUA, do not lead to a premature announcement which subsequently has to be retracted after scientific audit. _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
