Just find out a user has 16 years run time with 2.4 million results return.
----------------------------------------That means nearly 3 mins 30 secs per task. Even a high end OC CPU with HT off couldn't do that.   |

Thanks, deltavee!
----------------------------------------So they're probably using cluster running 9 thousands VMs. And according to Shaky Jake some of the valid tasks running on Linux VM will return 0 run time. Therefore the Total Run time isn't the actual time they spent. That make sense. |

Just found out that a new member from The Netherlands joined WCG yesterday: WCW.saHACKra. After one day this new member already takes up the Dutch number one spot of the day (https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/stat/vi...points&countryCode=NL), thereby beating member NifHACK today, who scored 500,000 points yesterday alone.
----------------------------------------Username: Points Generated: Striking feature: they both have "HACK" in their names, both being puns. Good to see they're contributing in an outstanding way. [Edit 2 times, last edit by adriverhoef at Aug 30, 2016 4:02:38 PM] |

Just found out that this guy that you are talking about "WCW.saHACKra" has whizzed passed me in the dutch all-time rankings on his 4th day on the grid. I've been at it for almost 9 years
---------------------------------------- .His credit from yesterday was 4th worldwide. ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by SNURK at Aug 30, 2016 2:24:00 PM] |

He's part of DPC... and pushed the stampeding cows to global 5-6-7th spot for the various rankings.

Cool! I now know who these guys are, both NifHACK and saHACKra. As they operate under slightly cryptic names I won't disclose it here. Knowing who they are I'm not surprised they have some serious cpu power!

Jesus, one of them has about 1.000 cores, while other has about 350 cores at their disposal! Some serious speed has been gained, from out Social PR...

Whilst I am pleased that so much raw and awesome power has been boarded I wish there were a small suite of statistical views whereby rankings could be displayed more equitably. eg: Active and excluding Dormant; Industrial giants; Individual independents. As if apples could be compared to apples and .... like to like
