Hi Peter, I believe what you are seeing is the BOINC total, not the s...@home total, and it is meant to be 2311.06 TFLOP/s averaged over 24 hours. That would be a bit less than 200000 PFLOP/day. Last time I check the s...@home total is about 1/3 of the BOINC total.
It's also not entirely true. The truth is that BOINC would have achieved 2311.06 TFLOP/s averaged over 24 hours if every host was running a floating point intensive application capable of achieving the same performance as the BOINC benchmarks, and if every BOINC application granted credit only based upon the number of floating point operations being performed. Neither of those is the case. It's best to treat that number as an approximation of the theoretical performance that could have been achieved when running trivial applications for the last 24 hours.
