just wondering, compared to the average super computer how does WCG compare? is it as collectively equivalent computationally as a super computer?

http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Computation_credit
A 1 gigaflop CPU generates 200 BOINC credits a day. 1 BOINC credit = 7 WCG points. So look at Statistics to see the number of points granted yesterday and divide by 1400 to see the number of gigaflop equivalents processed by WCG. Then compare with top 500 supercomputer list that you can find with Google. |

Lawrence, was the doubling already implemented BOINC world wide? FAIK, that document is a bit forward, actually slashing DC computational throughput in half at the stroke of a pen. Certainly not seen WCG doubling the ''dog year'' ** points to offset this.
** term possibly originally coined by Dataman. |
