Update: "Folding@Home is now at ~2.4 exaFLOPS (faster than the top 500 supercomputers combined)! We complement supercomputers like IBM Summit, which runs short calculations using 1000s of GPUs at once, by spreading longer calculations around the world in smaller chunks!"

Let's remember that this figure is potential compute capacity, not actual computations completed!

From https://stats.foldingathome.org/os: "CPUs and GPUs which have returned Work Units within the last 50 days are listed by OS. FLOPS per core is estimated."

So even if your powerful GPU has only completed a couple of WUs in the past 50 days due to scarcity or loss of interest, they are counting the GPU as if it is computing for Folding at 100% capacity. You cannot equate potential compute capacity with average actual FLOPS performed over a time period.


While I know that there are a lot of issues with BOINC credit, at least the figure given on the BOINC homepage is based on actual calculations completed in the past 24 hours (current 24-hour average at the time of this post is just under 32 petaFLOPS).
