biggrin TFlops of the WCG ?

What is the computal power of WCG ? with 350,000 units...

We have ~130,000 results per day.
(TFlop needed for a result) X 130,000 / 24*60*60

EDIT:

Nobody knows, i will try.

I tested my CPU with Sandra 2007, a 3700+ core san diego, 2.2Ghz 1MB L1.
my score is 6700 MFLOPS (6.7 GFLOPS) (with iSSE3)

It takes me 5h30 to complete a task, 19800 seconds.
so, 19800*6.7 = 132 TFLOP for one task

if we have 130,000 results per day :
(132*130,000) / (24*60*60)

WCG = 200 TFLOPS
(some days there is a peak at 150k results, 230 TFLOPS)

For example, Earth Simulator computes 35 TFLOPS, and the best supercomputer in the world, bluegene does 280 TFLOPS.

So ~200-230 is GREAT !

Re: TFlops of the WCG ?

Many have tried...

all have failed.

Try working it out yourself. The result you get is likely to be no better or worse than previous attempts.

Re: TFlops of the WCG ?

Hello bugsan,
Here is a Power Calculator: http://www.ud.com/calculator/
But you have to guess wnat the average WCG computer looks like!

Here is a useful URL keeping track of runtime: http://vspx27.stanford.edu/DCcomparison.html

Re: TFlops of the WCG ?

I'd start off with the CPU hours turned in the last few weeks, take a days performance and indeed do a stab at the FLOPS a single CPU turns in on average, then compute the seconds of a days production and multiply that by the CPU performace......BOINC time is real time, UD agent time is clock time, so you'd have to guess how much slush sits in that mix too.....enjoy biggrin

PS I'd be disappointed if there is not a Petaflop lurking there.....

Re: TFlops of the WCG ?

is this a serious attempt to calculate the current number of human beings walking on the earth wearing one or more broken shoes ?

there are those that tread : flop, flop, flop,
there are those that tread : flop, (step), flop, (step), flop

Re: TFlops of the WCG ?

If it is then would it not make more sense to just measure it with a pedometer? Another important consideration... doesn't the act of calculating/measuring such a thing marginalise all the people who wear no shoes at all? And what about the animals? I imagine the centipedes would have a lot to say about the matter.

P.S. I just received a nasty email from K.D. Lang. She doesn't appreciate talk about PETA flopping.

So ~200-230 is GREAT !


Well, I can't say that's a bad estimate but I can't say that's a good estimate either. Nor can I say I have a better estimate or any idea how to make a better estimate. All I can do is point to the inaccuracies in your estimate.

First, the science apps that do the crunching are not optimised for SSE3 so obtaining your Sandra benchmark with SSE3 introduces inaccuracy right off the top.

Second, the WCG work units (WUs or tasks) vary greatly in length and complexity therefore the 132 TFLOPS per task may be far from average.

Is your estimate of ~200-230 in the ballpark? I like to think so but I bet others who have greater expertise can offer convincing arguments that it's not even on the same street as the ballpark.

Re: TFlops of the WCG ?

I think this varies by an order of magnitude to previous estimates. This doesn't make it wrong, but does emphasise the inexactitude of these estimations.

It also begs the question: how accurately are supercomputers ranked?

Just for Fun: 62,480.700 GFLOPS hugs .........Voux: Pays Bas .... Douze points applause applause applause applause applause applause applause

PS....this was a 1 degrees Kelvin, superconduction cooled calculation ;>)
