Just one question SNURK: You are talking about FLOP's, not FLOPS, aren't you? And also in your (our) sigs there are also GFLOP's. Am I correct?

Sek you should really change the title to 1 Petaflops. We are already there.

Aaahhhh!!! You stabbed me in my back with a knife.
----------------------------------------Didn't you know that scientists will allways find a way to saturate whatever crunching power you have.  HCC is infinite. It will never finish  |

Einstein@Home has broken the Petaflop barrier. Are finding gravitational waves more important than finding cures? Here is the article http://science.slashdot.org/story/13/01/02/17...kanon&utm_medium=feed

According to boincstats.com (dividing RAC by 200 as opposite to WCG re-calculation, where RAC are divided by 100), Zweistein is doing 444 TeraFLOPS (http://boincstats.com/en/stats/5/project/detail ), while WCG 574 TeraFLOPS (http://boincstats.com/en/stats/15/project/detail ).
----------------------------------------So, I am answering: both are important  , but finding cures seem to be slightly more  Crunching@Home since January 13 2000. Shrubbing@Home since January 5 2006 |
