Heck, we needed a new thread in continuation to the 500 PetaFLOP thread http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread_thread,30059_offset,0 , if only to report on the 40 ZettaFLOP milestone we just passed... 40,000 ExaFLOP of calculations we've done collectively since WCG launched officially on November 16, 2004.
----------------------------------------For the 2011 Holiday seasons gift list, to speed things up on a steeper slope: #1: One Exaflop machine for WCG running on solar power #2: Watson permanent commissioning to crunch for WCG. #3: Many more volunteer crunchers at WCG, also spreading the word. #4: ... Meantime, things remain in flux on a "TeraFLOPS per CPU year contributed"... a coming and going and coming of volunteers: --//-- PS: See at bottom of WCG Dashboard http://bit.ly/WCGDSH for the spread across sciences. And The Next Big Future: http://nextbigfuture.com/2010/06/exaflop-supercomputer-could-be-as-early.html edit: Added the FLOPS per Year chart to this post as per below comment :D [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Jun 1, 2011 8:10:51 AM] |

It's going to be a long road to 600 TFlops, or so it seems at the moment, hovering even below 500 for now.
----------------------------------------But I'll surely be doing my part, all 0.0023% of it  , leaving only 99.9977% to fill in for the rest of the world.Sekerob, you will be putting your fabulous GFlops chart on top of this thread I suppose? |

SekeRob listened to SNURK... duly applied... how could one refuse on a ''fabulous'' rating :o)

Now that the summer lull is really upon us, it will be of interest to some that the TFL per CPU year computed has been doing sequential day records. As of noon it's 1.437 TFL / Year.

Crunching on, not-withstanding persistent heat outside our very thick brick walls. [Bricks with air-chambers for optimal insulation] ... Remembering our three week trip to Italy last year july. Was 40+ degrees celcius all the way through  . Can't be good for the poor CPU's.. |

I'm definitely among the "some" who find this interesting. How do you explain it? People turning off their older machines that run both hotter and slower? People turning off hyperthreading when reducing the number of cores they run on individual computers?  |

kateiacy,
Die Hards continuing [with the uppety hardware], and the elements you mention I'm sure. Offices continuing, schools/colleges slow, not necessarily having the newest. I've never analyzed the composite, which can be seen over at e.g. BOINCstats. --//-- |

In case there's anyone else out there who can't remember "yotta" from "peta" any better than I can

Yesterday Thé Machine went on to top last record, now again upped to 1.454 TFL per CPU year contributed. No matter how hot it gets, we're smashing numbers and compared to last year, same time, same day of week, we did 333 years in 2011 on Tuesday, 292 years in 2010... up 14%. Put your hands together, but not too wildly or sweat might splatter :D Crunching On. --//-- P.S. Noon prelims hint at 1.456 TFL for Today edit: correct a mangled é [Edit 2 times, last edit by Former Member at Jul 21, 2011 5:06:40 AM] |
