IIRC, I did this once before a good while back. I would expect that the specific numbers will differ for everyone depending on their mix of machines and distribution of tasks across those machines but the trend still remains the same. I took my total run time for each project, converted to total seconds and divided that into my total points for that project to get points per second and then converted back to points per hour so the differences were more discernable. Here's what I got:

CFSW 148.15
SN2S 138.59
GFAM 132.93
DSFL 128.12
C4CW 133.38
CEP2 117.03
DDDT2 127.19
HCMD2 122.43
HFCC 120.90
HCC 104.81
HPF2 94.51
FAAH 84.65

I ordered these by the project start dates taken from the Research section of the website but the start dates don't necessarily reflect the order WCG started working on the projects. I would think that since machines have gotten more powerful over time, that would be why the number have gone upbut I've had a rather stable mix of machines. In fact, I went down from 2 C2Ds and a quad to one C2D and a quad in early-to-mid 09 but my points per hour didn't drop until projects that started about a year later. To me, it says that, all else being equal, you get more points for the same computing effort on the newest projects. Yes, getting more powerful machines should bump the numbers even higher but even then, it would seem you'd want to focus on the latest project if you want to focus on maximizing the points you get for the same computing effort. Now there's plenty of reasons for crunching on specific projects besides this but it would seem to generalize out to focusing on projects in order as they come out. Still, I don't have any data to look at where machines are regularly replaced with the latest and greatest for example so the differences there could be far greater and leave those above insignificant. It's something interesting to think about.

..............................CONGRATULATIONS finman ON REACHING 28,000,000 MOT POINTS !!!..............................

Interesting figures there, Keith. I always figured some projects gave slightly more points than others, but didn't think there would be that much of a difference.. although I never understood the importance of points, as its the hours and results returned that ultimately matter! Although I guess points awarded are also attributed based on the reliability/accuracy of the result returned? Never really thought much into it..


If I wasn't already somewhat aware of GPU crunching, I'd have thought that you must have bought a data centre for points like that.. Awesome work. How many GPUs do you have pulling those figures?

Been a nastily hot start to the year here in Australia. A massive heat wave came from out from the Indian Ocean end of 2012/start of 2013, burnt WA to a crisp for a week (~38-43 deg C, making it the hottest week on average for us since 1940s or something), before it crossed the Australian outback, believed to have reached (and is still reaching) nearly 50 deg C as it crossed the central deserts & South Australia. It recently hit our Eastern state counterparts over the past week with temperatures similar to what we had in WA (~40deg C).. Heard the comment "welcome to Australia, where even the air tries to kill you" in a news article which sounds about right..

On a better note, hope everyone's having a great start to the year I have a good feeling about this one!

I had to go into details here to figure out the degrees in Fahrenheit and I get 100.4F for 38C, 109.4F for 43C, and 122F for 50C. I also did not know what you meant when you referred to WA, but a quick search on Google for "wa australia" shows it as Western Australia, Australia's largest state which is about 1/3 of the continent bounded on the west by the Indian Ocean.
