In the member statistics page we have a stats list on the average number of points per hour of runtime. This list is limited to the first 5'000 members who make in the list. I tried to find out why this stat and what it can tell us.
----------------------------------------If we look at the top gun here "aurerio" is the top guy with one machine crunching at 333 points/hour. By the way all the top guys have just one machine. If we look at the top in terms of daily points it was yesterday "marist college" with over 12 Million points in a day. Guess what, they don't even make it in the first 5'000 of the pts/hr list. With 111 pts/hr they are lost in the depths somewhere. I have an average of 166 (half the top performance) and make it somewhere at 1'740th position. Does it mean that the top guys have an extremely powerful machine. With 980X cpu's that are overclocked at 4 Ghz that I have put on the table, I wonder what kind of engine they have online. I see a clear difference with the very probable fact that the top machine just crunches 24/day 7/7 a week and 365 days/year and the college machines do that only as a screen saver and a little more. But still there should be no major difference as we compare it to runtime in terms of time run on the WCG task. Or is it? CPU time vs Runtime. I probably miss something here. But does the processor speed, multiple cores etc. make a difference? Any ideas ?  [Edit 2 times, last edit by Hypernova at Sep 12, 2011 12:03:27 PM] |

If I were you, I'd not attach much value at all to that statistic of credit per hour. The 333 number (47 credit p/h) comes off someone joining July 4 with 23 days contributed and may have included a couple of these bloated credit jobs. You got 166 p/h, I got 92 p/h and started on UD agent, one core P3, these numbers being the historical average of all contributions per member.

If there's a GI assessment, there's no point to waste time on GO i.e. stats lovers pass. ;)))))))
