hi dseto,

it's frequently discussed and on the wish list of things to add to the statistics pages, I'm though not sure WCG would include the active member position.

Same goes for the active machines.... it's on the wish list.

I never pay attention to it, but as you run BOINC, the Boincstats statistics allow sorting on a number of criteria like daily, weekly, monthly, all time and more. There you are at spot 10850 momentarily:

Added: For the month you run on spot 3341 on BOINCstats:

cheers

I track active members for my team, defining "active" as someone who returned a result within the last 7 days. The active count is usually a little under half the total count. Today it is 615 / 1 332.

I expect the active count for the project as a whole isn't quite this good. As Sekerob touches on, there are various ways for estimating an active count. It's not an incredibly useful number even once we have it, though - WCG is more about "little and often" - they encourage members only to donate while their computers are normally turned on, and they are recruiting contributors from the general population, not just computer geeks, SETI enthusiasts and so on. People so interested in a project do tend to donate more time per person.

All of which rambling is intended to conclude: runtime metrics are far more interesting, and for a (well, almost) fair comparison between members, points take computer speed into account as well.

we will ask the techs if they can share, but you could deduce by approximation. The BOINC stats site reports the registered devices and the active devices and same for members.

 	Total	Active

Teams	5,355	3,209
Countries 177	145

BOINC is currently around 55% of total production, where u need to consider that UD agents as single core and BOINC multi-core.

(I take these numbers with a pinch or 2 of salt)

The element which is most reliable, though a mix of CPU time + Wall clock time, summed together as Run-time, is shown in this graph, where the point is, that the CPU's of today are multiple times more powerful of those is past..... inflation corrected, this graph would probably be following a curve similar to the space shuttle.
