The table seems to be stuck.

The stats table (https://stats.foldingathome.org/os) has been static/stuck for a couple of months now.

Still exactly the same numbers, although the "Last updated" and "DB date" are current.

In this video Vijay Pande compares FAH and Anton.

I don't think Anton2/x is intended to be generally available. It's a very niche piece of hardware, that in my opinion loses the mass-market appeal compared to Xheon Phi. Still, the Anton project started long before Xeon Phi was available and has apparently got some really good results (otherwise ver...

Anton 2: A 2nd-Generation ASIC for Molecular Dynamics Simulation 1 CPU = 66 cores at 1,6 GHz. 2.5 Tb/s on-chip bandwidth. Over 250 billion interactions/s per CPU. Big emphasis on interchip communication was an eye-opening for me. Obvious, of course. :) Some info regarding relevant strengths of F@H ...

WRT speedups from AVX2: Native Code Performance on Modern CPUs: A Changing Landscape (slides).

Unfortunately for FAH, the state of OpenCL support is generally poor. Nvidia's OpenCL implementation really stinks. I don't believe they've even touched it since the early fermi days, at least, no more so than necessary to have it run (somewhat) on new hardware. I suspect they're trying to play poli...

Unified GPU/SMP benchmarking scheme implemented The unified GPU/SMP benchmarking scheme will be rolled out today on FAH. All the future GPU projects would now be benchmarked using the new scheme. Most of the existing GPU projects have been re-benchmarked to reflect the changes in the benchmarking s...

Hopefully not relevant

Despite their page being a counterexample of a good website, I managed to find at least some concrete information:
Availability/Reliability results for August 2010: 68303 physical, 198676 logical CPUs (2,9 cores per CPU on average).
Some kind of applications database.

Press Release
Project's page.
Casual browsing didn't reveal any technical details, unfortunately.

List of documents: http://www.prace-project.eu/documents/public-deliverables-1/ There's everything : networking, I/O, "approaches" (CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs...), 15 different programming languages/platforms from higher level to VHDL, benchmarks, productivity ("time to program", "li...

The link is broken (files lost), could you please repost it?

The Stats page has a graph of active CPUs. The last data point is 2008; I think updating to 2009/2010 is in order .
Happy new year!
