WCG maybe but IBM didn't miss anything:

WCG maybe but IBM didn't miss anything: https://newsroom.ibm.com/US-Dept-of-Energy-Br...st-COVID-19?lnk=ushpv18l1 2 Days it took and their computer... Summit gave the researchers its massive data processing capability, enabled by its 4,608 IBM Power Systems AC922 server nodes, each equipped with two IBM POWER9 CPUs and six NVIDIA Tensorcore V100 GPUs, giving it a peak performance of 200 petaflops, designed to be more powerful than one million high-end laptops. And the title of the shortlived project FAC19 Think I have to consider shutting down, just no competition and than having to endure the laments over a 24 hour deadline being too short. Well, COVID19 is not waiting on us. |

200 petaflops = 200,000 tflops is the peak performance, not average. Its average is 148,600 tflops
----------------------------------------Here is the 2019 supercomputer ranking: https://www.top500.org/lists/2019/06/ . Stats of SUMMIT is the same as in the news. WCG, or to be precise, BOINC, average about 26,234 tflops on average according to this report (https://dzone.com/articles/the-worlds-top-supercomputers) that places us at 4th in the supercomputer ranking. By the way, this report was posted in 2018, I presume some volunteers got more powerful computers since then. So, have faith, we are not bad at all. Keep crunching.

WCG maybe but IBM didn't miss anything: https://newsroom.ibm.com/US-Dept-of-Energy-Br...st-COVID-19?lnk=ushpv18l1 Thanks for posting this, Doneske. I was wondering why there hadn't been any scientists who wanted to use WCG to run similar simulations to what we've done for projects like FAH, SCC, etc.: throw a huge compound library at the target and see what binds and how. Looks like the centralized supercomputers of the world are on it. |

Does exist any "official" conversion rule between WCG resp. Boinc points and FLOPS?
----------------------------------------I am aware about the legacy rule: WCG points = 7 x Boinc points. Cheers, Yves ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by KerSamson at Mar 17, 2020 2:16:12 AM] |

Hi KLiK,
----------------------------------------thank you for the link. Looking on it and calculating accordingly, I have the feeling that Snurk make a mistake for the badges, since it seems that he divides daily RAC by 100 instead of by 200. Cheers, Yves |
